New icons would be the better choice, IMO, but Glow B is the better of these.

Meh, if it had to be between those two, A, because the second one looks...drippy.

For the color: Why not purple?

Since it's Red + Blue, and can be used to represent both teams.

It's Dark Green + Brown, though, isn't it?

I don't see why color matters that much, this one was picked because it matched the tooltips.

the color isnt what matters, i prefer glow A because its more noticable. it doesnt exactly "clog" the image with the glow, but its much more easily spotted and recognized as something dramatically different than the ordinary base item.

Here I did a combination of the glow and the different color border.

They look like they should be worth 20 faction, not 3.

If someone wants to change the color of the items; ring of the titan could become platine silver, ring of regen red, pendant of mana red and silver, etc. Making them look elite

I'm honestly not averse to leaving them as normal icons either, in-game it's not really a big deal. I just think people would appreciate new icons more.

What do you think?
That color is so much better, it's just aesthetically pleasing, while not standing out as much as the green as to demand a lot of attention.

I would prefer totally new icons, as I have stated, but if Dusk doesn't want to, or if it will take too long, then that's fine with me.

I can also do some simple recolors.

Edit: Stupid poll results reset when I added a new option. Sorry.

The recolors look better than the others to be honest Storm.

Yeah, I really love recolors.

I think that the basic items should be recolored to something along the lines of "gray", to make it looks bland.

And when it's upgraded, it will have golden color instead, or some color like green.


And about the glow, it can be removed, or changed to match the other colors.
