Monochrome icons

[Zhall]

We all know a love the terrific artwork incased in warcraft 3.

However, icons in starcraft are traditionally single color, and by the looks of the battle reports this is true for sc2 (right?)

How will this effect the possibilities and your will to create icons for starcraft 2?

Will you ignore the design standard, perhaps import icons from sc1 or wc3..?
Or will you conform...

EDIT: Upon further review, it looks as if blizzard is mixing both styles.

Yeah, abilities and commands are in that monotone style and units(when building), attacks, upgrades, researches and i guess also abilities will be in art style.

They are just graphic styles. They can be changed to be colorful if you want.

the Command buttons and other things like this or 1 color icons (some upgrade too). the units icons are Screen shot of unit (so its not 1 color) and some of the upgrades are Normal icons (not only 1 color).

im not sure, but i feel as there using alot of the mono icons as place holders, as every new ability has a new icon.., there probably still working on the icons for old sc stuff
