Not only does the stormtrooper icon look better, but stormtroopers are far more iconic, literally, and will attract more people. Only DF players know what a dark trooper is, everyone knows what a stormtrooper is.

Right. But, pop quizz: how many people in the DarkXL user base will not be Dark Force players? Razz


That said, the Dark Trooper one would have looked better if it had the same red blaster lighting.

I still think the DT is more appropriate than the ST because DarkXL is to Dark Force what a Dark Trooper is to a Stormtrooper: much, much more powerful.

(Nota: Isn't it possible to have several icons within an executable anyway? So that the default will be whatever wins the poll, but people are free to change it to the other at least in shortcuts and file associations?)

I agree with Emon, and anyway, stormtroopers show up about a hundred times on each level, the dark troopers only a few times. Also, this particular dark trooper photo just looks too "pretty" and not enough evil and menacing . . .

Yeah, you can have multiple icons in one exe . . . I have a lot of games that do that. For example, Command & Conquer 3's default icon is the GDI logo, but it also has icons for the other two sides you can play as in the game. And even if lucius doesn't include the other icons, we can always just manually override it ourselves if we don't like it Twisted Evil

Please read the intial post for final results. This poll is now closed. Any further discussion can occur in the Icon / Logo thread, I'm closing this thread to avoid any confusion.
