Improve game icon

A small detail but i find the icon very blurry and gritty.
I would like it to stand out on my desktop view :)

Anyone agree?

Is it really that important?

Hopeless.. all these inbred people.

Look, the logo looks crap compared to games from even the mid 90's, im posting a suggestion here to help the devs notice "ah yeah thats totally true something we have overseen"

Good to see that this have been posted before so im not completly alone, yeez some people are so afraid of change i find it intriguing you guys even manage to play a new game.

First off it seems to be scaled down from the original logo, which is not ideal to fit in such a small space (often games will go for something more iconic like a shield, or in Tomb Raider you get Lara's head, etc).

Secondly the icon may have been optimized for XP, I don't know. In Vista/7 the OS seems to scale up icons if the icon is not provided in sufficient definition.

EDIT:

The icon has a 256x256 and 32x32 image.

I think Vista/7 uses a 48x48 on the desktop, so the 32x32 is scaled up, looking blotchy.

There is also this "Games" windows in Windows 7, it has much bigger icons in it.

I'm curious, anyone ever uses that?

Updated below.

I agree. I have changed my icon, but I think that first impressions are very important. The current icon screams indie game, and doesn't reflect the level of polish this game is going for.

Yeah they should make new one before open beta
i hope it dosent take much time but if they can do it let them do it ;)

Just cause I'm bored ... and I got a higher res logo:



Those now scale to 48x48 96x96 256x256.

I didn't rotate the Marauder's head to avoid losing more details... not great but the bloody coin fits more than the other one I think.
