Food increased by 4 pixels and placed onto the left bottom of territ.
Siren glow now a purple. Black not liked but cannot go back to the original as it does not show up on one of the colour blind tests.

Re: Labyrinth [23/8] Page 15. Icons and Glows? Now with 888'

Uh.... Go back to the black. No offense but the glow ruins the siren. I wish you didn't have to add anything to that.

:lol:

Darker blue with a higher contrast can be seen by all. Also, blue over the water seems to fit the colour scheme.
Changed Pegasus and added a reduced glow.

That looks..... Better. What's the food supposed to represent? It kinda looks like a small Pokemon and a McDonald's sausage patty :)

I actually thought it looked more like a block of cheese and a hamburger.

Pretty sweet map. The only thing that comes to mind is the background of the legend. I think the red takes away from the icons. Maybe a darker color would be better?

Always with the jokes. :lol:
Not done for all. Just look at column 3.
A3-same icon but with a slight glow.
E3-same icon but olives are now green.
J3-increased the contrast to the same icon.
N3-new icon. Goblet with meat.
Choose one or none and can get the rest done.

The legend is next on the list of things to do. And this should be the last part of the puzzle before the small can be made up.

Agree. I think you just need to make the item larger.

thanks guys, made the same 4 as before larger to see if that makes a difference. If not, can I ask what you would suggest to replace these ones.

Had a thought about the food icon. Instead of trying to get food and drink legible at this size, why not just a plate. How does this grab you. Colour is likely to change as I need to make it colour blind friendly and fit the maps look overall but this is the basic design of it. A plain round plate with a gold warrior in the middle. This is the same shape as the rock decoration that is on the left hand side.

That looks good, though it could possibly be seen as a shield or something like that...

I don't mind the icon, but I'd feel weird calling it a plate / food.
As for other possibilities, what about the old goblet (large size) w a bunch purple grapes?
I'll look at the larger icons again a bit later and see if anything grabs me

I see what you mean. Well, if you do not try something, you never know.

I like the idea of a large goblet and will see if I can get grapes/olives around it.

Will get the plate finished and do the goblet design as Icepack said, then let you choose which one.

Lots more food. All over the board you wil see slight differences and icons that are with others.
Ones I like the most but do not let this influence you. ;)
    N3
    N7

I like H7 and O12.
You don't want too much detail on a map like this.
By the way, are you sure you like the alphabet the way it is? Going up, not down?

O12??? I can't seem to find O12!! Did you mean by chance D12?

Personally I like N7 as well.

N7 does look good...but won't some of these cause issues with the 888's?

Have you thought about maybe like, a yellow olive wreath around the box? Or something like that? It might clash with the Ring of Fire, but you could maybe change the ring of fire to actual flames coming up from the bottom of the box or something...

Nope, all are good for the army numbers. When I decide on which one and it now looks like N7 is a winner, I can and will tweak it a tad to make sure it fits, centred and it does not muck up the 88s.
