SheetMetal Forming (bad) icon

Post by Shalmeneser »

Is it possible to improve the SheetMetal_Forming icon ?
It seems dull and fade.

I think the problem is that it has too many edges and looks pixelated when downsized:

It seems it's using a duler shade of the color of the other icons too, I recommend making a similar icon but following the Artwork Guidelines

I would go for a more simpler version and change the color of the die from the metal.

I second this but would like the gray to be a bit lighter.

Maybe the profile should show some other colour to give a hint that after this function was applied the shape is no longer unfoldable.
