HUD and Icons - New Design Style?

[DeltaStrikeOp]

Hi all,

I sadly have to postpone work on the scopes. For now, I am waiting until I learn some more advanced features to further enhance the visual look and hopefully release even better content.

For now, I have a bit of time in between summer classes, and I'd like to bring up again the design of our Icons and HUD.

I know we have a lot of icons that are taken from other sources. Here is a list compiled by @ruler501

I will attempt to remake as many as I can. Before I do so, however, I'd like to ask the community of their thoughts on the designs.



I'm thinking about remaking many icons in a very minimalist style, similar to the Metro design philosophy. I will probably give the icons either a hexagonal or pentagonal border, like this.



Hopefully this will help ACR move towards a more unified experience without "mismatched" designs in game that seem to conflict with each other.

I will start work on a Juggernaut killstreak icon now and will post it as soon as it is ready

Also, is there any way to change the health icon? The skull doesn't really make sense IMO.
