Here are some new Icons that we can use to display what changes are in each mod
on the splash screens advertising the mod. This will help the non-English speaking
players who would like to know what is in each of the mods, but cannot ask very
easily. These are freely available to all modders to use and were created in the hopes
that they would be universally acceptable, which is why they do not contain any 7 Sins
material. There is a large and small icon each on their own layer with transparent
backgrounds for ease of application.

New Ships: These are for totally new ships, or ship textures with new abilities and
weapons. These are not for ships that have been tweaked to do more/less damage.

New Research: 'Nuff Said (for now).

Trade Modification: Any change to the exchange rates of the market.

Rebalancing: Any comprehensive and (hopefully) systematic change to a particular area
of the game to try and improve it. Just making all of one race's ships tougher does not
count, but making all of them equally tougher does (just an example).

New Planets: This covers the addition of new types of Planets, Asteroids, Suns, and Moons
that were not in the Vanilla version.

New Effects: This covers just about everything to do with particles in the game that is not
directly covered by the above icons. As long as it is emitted from a ship it should be
considered FX and not part of the ship. Beams, blasts, and Black Holes baby!

I am hosting them on my new webpage http://fouracescw.googlepages.com/files
in three formats. The first is .tiff only @ 723 KB, the second is .psd only @ 313 KB, and the
third is both (just in case) @ 970 KB. Images can be viewed there to cut down on server
load here. If anyone needs another format just PM me and I will get them to you as soon
as I read the message. They are archived with 7zip which you can get here http://www.7-zip.org/.

If you think that more are needed to differentiate all mods then let me know. It should be
a category that is well defined and is not covered adequately by the other icons. I would
greatly appreciate it if you like the idea to use my icons so that we do not end up with
so many sets that they become pointless. If you feel that you need to alter one or
replace it let me know so that I can update the multi-language reference page with a copy
of your icon.

They are also available from FileFront in my Modding Icon Folder:
