I should add a 2, shouldn't I?

Look better, for instance, that way on Civ6 and BE...

I guess it would go with the site banner and site name.  However, you'd also need to re-center your icon's text to make room for a 3rd line.  Probably gonna look a bit funny with just a "2" stuck in at the bottom, as is.

I like these new icons, the wide slightly more than the square.

I'm see u still search the variants.
My feelings says that the full string with "Alpha Centauri" is too much for this icon.
R u tried to make icon with just two letters - "AC"?

Huh.  I happen to have done something with the initials yesterday.  Gimme a minute, and I'll make something 50x and we'll try it...

OOOH!

I think we've got a winner.  Post an opinion, Protok, so I can see the Unread Icon on the board. ;nod

I could flip the globe...  I could ditch Atlas, and probably will if I do more.

There's a nice deoiction of Planet in the game art. The name of the file escapes me now, but I showed it to you in that thread we discussed the new posting ranks.

I like AC2FB version, but with Unity ship instead of Atlant holding the globe.
Also "C2" could be bolder.

And this is how it looks for me now:

I made the C2 a lot bigger, removed Atlas, and flipped the planet and turned 90 degrees to match the lighting on the letters.

I think it prettier than w/ the Planet from the file you pointed out Geo.  It was 29x31, and needed a lot of doctoring, attached.

-I've saved all the elements as layers, so I can fiddle in the future more easily.  -Also did/attached a quick paste-in of the Unity.  Thoughts?

Protok, you're in Astronomy theme - of course you can't see a change in the default theme.
