By the way, I think we should take out the word "Soldat" in these icons. My reasoning:

  • The icon should scream "SOLDAT" all by itself
  • Both Linux and Windows already display the title below/beside the icon
  • Of the 56 icons on my desktop, none have words

Also, almost all favicons specifically don't have text because many people's settings (like mine) make the dimensions 16x16 px.

that's probably why his smallest one didn't have text to begin with ;)

Leave soldat in the icon. Thats soldats legacy and makes it more unique then your 56 icons without text :D

Really depends on what key elements in the icon the audience notices when they double click on it. Could be the word "SOLDAT", the picture of a soldier... or it could be the green backdrop.

What I was aiming for was a sense of progression. The new Soldat really is a leap, where all the other versions were steps. I'm totally making this up, but people digg progression :P

Looking at them all again now (after waiting a dayish)... I've gotta say that Toumaz's fits the Soldat "feel" much better than EH's.  While EH's is shiney and stuff... it just doesn't seem like Soldat to me.  Toumaz's pixel-style and the way his icons look seem much more fitting.

Sorry EH, but while I love all of the other work I've seen you do and I like yours here too..  at this point I've gotta say that my vote would go to Toumaz <3

I'd have to go between Toumaz's and vice's
I have to agree with FLAB on this one, EH's icon just doesn't give have that Soldat feel to it. Its too clean and shiny, whereas Soldat is dark and gory. The icon on its own is gorgeous though.
If its Toumaz's I prefer the transparent one. But I think vice has a slight edge over his.
I like the badge paying homage to the registered users : )

I'd like to see some actual Soldat actions, like either chainsawing (which someone made) or something like that rather than the usual soldier.
