[OLD]The Big Icon Thread
The most common scenario when you should just stick to stock bot icons is if your custom bot doesn't have any functional difference from a stock bot template. For example, if your custom bot is really just a regular heavy but with a football helmet, you should just give it a normal heavy icon; giving it a custom icon in this case would just clutter the wave bar and cause confusion, besides also causing players to download extra icons for no reason.

In my opinion, the only time you should be using custom icons is if your bot is either A. very functionally different from stock bot templates (for example, a gas can pyro, a base jumper-air strike soldier, or a kritzkrieg medic) or B. a major boss robot. Using stock icons for these can lead to players being unfairly surprised by bots they had no way of knowing were coming. The point of the wave bar is to let you know what's coming; you shouldn't be just finding out that a pyro uses the dragon's fury after it's already spawned.

In these cases, you should use a stylized icon that fits other bot icons. Instead of just using a scaled-down picture of a weapon, use a more creative picture of a projectile or something that still conveys what the bot is. I'm tooting my own horn here, but I think my dragon's fury icon[www.dropbox.com] is a good example of that.

In the special case of major boss robots, it's more of a grey area, but the convention is to use a stylized picture of the boss' hat as an icon. To avoid confusion, this hat should be one that is clearly recognizable as belonging to that class. An icon of a BMOC is confusing, because any class could be wearing it; a Brigade Helm immediately tells you you're seeing a Pyro boss.

By "stylized", I mean these icons should also fit the style of other bot icons. That means keeping a relatively simple palette, having a visible black outline of at least 2px, and setting up your editing software so that the icon does not come out compressed.
