This to be our new/official warzone 2100 icon? Replacing the current one.
I think the current icon needs a more dark and futuristic look.

The current icon is using vector graphics though (.svg file format, Inkscape is an editor which can work with this format), whereas your file is a bitmap without the scalability vector graphics provide.

Some other drawing software is capable of using the SVG (Scalable Vector Grahpics) format as well btw.

Any chance someone may be able to convert this image to vector graphics?  :-\

I just learned about vector graphics, and i don't have much internet time a.t.m. to download the appropriate program to work with it.  ???

Converting vector graphics to a bitmap is easy. The reverse is hand-work though and requires someone to just redo the job (and I dare to say I'm no great graphical artist).

Do you have this .svg file? I can at least try to give my bitmap version the best resolution possible.  ::)

The original is here, I don't have an SVG of your bitmap though if that's what you thought (that would have to be made by you or someone else). http://svn.gna.org/svn/warzone/trunk/ic ... ne2100.svg

No, no. I meant the current one, so thank you.  ;D

Is it supposed to appear, or just give me the HTML code for it? o.o

It's an XML document, so most browsers will display it rather than prompt you to download it. Download it instead and then open it in a Vector graphics program.

Try the above link now, as I changed the mime-type to something most browsers (i.e. firefox and konqueror at least) will display as an image.

About the Icon, well, like it, but you should make the black a bit darker.
