15th icon contest theme poll.

Whatever theme chosen contestants will be drawing either four or six icons.

All those who are interested in participating should vote in poll.

Poll options are taken from previous poll. In case you have your own suggestion, post it.

Themes:

Sci-Fi Alternative Draw 4 futuristic icon versions of Warcraft 3 standard icons
Upgrades & Tech Draw 3+3 upgrade icons
Unit corresponding ability icons Draw 4 abilities for chosen standard Warcraft 3 unit (draw 4 abilities for footman/knight/grunt/archer...'')
Mythological creature related icons Draw 1 unit icon +3 ability icons for chosen creature
Custom Skin/Model Icons Draw 1 unit icon +3 abilities for one of custom models or textures in database
Nature Icons Draw 4 ability icons inspired by nature (in context of Warcraft universe)

Descriptions are only outlines of what each theme represents, winning theme will be made less arbitrary and more structured in discussion after it is picked.

Poll lasts 10 days. You can vote for up to 3 themes.

I've never participated in the Icon Contests before, but the 'Unit corresponding ability icons' theme seems very compelling.

Edit
If it could be applied to accepted textures and 3D models from the Hive as well, it would be swell!
it is applied to standard units, the Custom Skin/Model Icons theme is for drawing icons for unit from website database
 
vote theme nature for fruits.
Got it! I've voted it before.
reminder that ''standard'' in ''Draw 4 abilities for chosen standard Warcraft 3 unit'' equals to melee, to be even more explicit: ''draw 4 abilities for footman/knight/grunt/archer...''
Ah, thanks for the inform. I wanted to ask what did you mean of "standard" units. So, the most voted theme is "Unit corresponding ability icons" for now.

Imo, things should be related to something already exist in warcraft and\or hive resource section. Or be related to some popular project settings. Generally, ofcourse, i have no illusions that warcraft modding is something really outdated and hive is currently just some sort of geeky social network, but if we wanna have some fun via contests - it should be something related to things we currently have. So, cuz of that themes like Sci-fi or myth related are... mhm... wierd. Would love to see something like expanded classic warcraft icons, like, for example, 6 icons for classic wc3 races that already exist in default warcraft, etc.

OK.

I voted for Upgrades (because they are always useful, especially for race-makers & for Trolls), Unit-Corresponding Abilities (because Trolls), and Custom Model Icons (also because Trolls).

I would've voted Other: Trolls, but I only had so many votes to give.
