I'm pretty sure Valkenr said it was a "placeholder" icon, so we should get something better soon.

[-Aet- Areks]

Some icons... like Blackfeather Keep for instance, probably should have some outer glow added... they are very easy to miss.

[TEO Cheatle]

Yep, Areks, I agree, we will probably add something there.

Hi TEO Cheatle,

Could you try uploading TAI icon again to the map. The current one has top and bottom margins missing. I think this is related to our website in some way and the way it displays gallery pictures?

If you click on this link, it will bypass the gallery image straight to the full icon with margins attached. I Should of linked this instead the first time round. Thank you TAI Map Icon

[TEO Cheatle]

Sure thing, will let Rhun know.

We were so very close to using that...

I like Golgotha's icon, its one of the more inventive designs, however, it blends into the background. Would a yellow background behind the head accentuate it better so it pops?

Also, maybe Talonguard could use somthing like the top of Raistlin's staff (Talon holding an orb) as a theme to be modified or maybe a Talon holding a gold coin?

Forgeholm could be Hammer and Anvil themed or crossed Hammer and Tong? Only suggestions.

Not everyone has a lot of time or expertise to make icons (I certainly don't), but they really add a personal and identifiable touch to each Settlement. Maybe these Icons can later be modified Into flags or attached to shields and tabbards with crafting skill later on? (hint hint Goblinworks)

GIMP 2 or similar free programs are available to have a crack at it. I am new to these programs and it took me awhile to work out transparencies and layers etc but I am sure some graphical design boffins amongst our community could help us out in completing the map.

This is your take home homework for this evening...class dismissed.

[KotC Carbon D. Metric]

Keeper's Pass has arrived at our decision for our Icon, and it should be forwarded onward accordingly soon.

[TEO Cheatle]

Sounds awesome!

[Shaibes]

At last! An icon for Alderwag.

Please let me know if you can work with this. If not, I'll do what I can to correct it.

[<TG>Thranx]

Thanks for your work on this Cheatle. Pardon my delay in providing an icon. You can also mark our settlement as Neutral Good.

I missed it somewhere; what's the name of your Settlement, please?

[<kabal> Bunibuni]

Kabal's symbol is going to be a stylized "K". Sunnfire has a graphics design buddy making it. Go bug Sunnfire for our proper map icon. He isn't feeling loved enough lately. :-)

Thranx is the Guardians. Neighbours of Ozem's Vigil.

(edit: Sorry. I now realize you probably knew that but wanted a settlement name.)

Yep, and wanted it for Your Excellent Spreadsheet :-).

[<kabal> Bunibuni]

And Kabal will FINALLY have a name on Sunday for its village. :-)

Give rival settlements the opportunity to provide placeholder icons for the slackers, that should provide some incentive to step up ಠ◡ಠ

[Giorgo]

Working with a different artist to get our settlements icon done, hopefully it will be soon... :)

[Giorgo]

Bump, for the now active EE settlements. :)
