>>52111465For some of the PLA icons it's hard to tell what they're even meant to be at a glance.
Steel in particular is a bad one, the Go icon for it was a nut and thanks to that was instantly recognisable as belonging to steel, but the PLA one looks more like it should be an ice icon at a glance to me. When I saw the regi statue that had it in PLA I assumed it was ice until I looked at the other ones. The fucking rock icon looks more like steel than steel does. Changing rock from a clearly naturally shaped uneven rock into a perfect octagon with a pattern that makes it look polished was stupid too.
I also don't like the bug, ground, fairy, dragon and rock ones because they seem more detailed than the rest. Dragon in particular I think had a really good icon in Go/SS. Psychic is also a bad one since a swirl or eye is used for it normally, but then they use some weird new design instead. They also gave the normal icon ears for some stupid reason.
The colour choices are weird too, why is fighting orange now when it's been dark red in almost every single game, why is steel light blue instead of silver, why is ghost randomly a different shade of purple than normal.
I also really liked the old dark icon but the new one is fine.
Admittedly they've never been consistent with this stuff but they were starting to be and then fucked it up.
Sorry for the long post but fuck these things have irritated me since I first saw them.
