The image on show info is fine but when they are in use or fitted they look disgusting. What was wrong with the tractor looking like a magnet? I could tell what it was at a glance but now it looks like a brown blob as do many of the newly designed mods.
The worst design is the modulated strip miner ii. When active it blends with the roids it is supposed to be mining and sometimes it's neccesary to swivel the camera just to see that it's active.
I can see that much work when into this and I hate to rain on the designers parade but IMHO it's a failure.

Have to agree about the icons next to the target, they're extremely low res and look terrible, I would rather the old icons back.
The turrets are great, icons are not.

All the new turret icons are pretty poor.
I can only assume they're placeholders for now. Any person looking at them side by side would know they're not gonna cut it.

I think the new turret models look great, but they should be represented by their old icons. These new turrets honor their old icons and I believe a cute representation of their function fits.

Cant imagine anyone that likes the current blurry icons. Most look like a weapon you can pick up in doom I. In the same resolution, on your pentium 1.

Do CCP read the forums or do you think a petition would serve this better?
Keep the models fine but please let's have the old icons back. Some of us do more than spin ships.

I'm thinking the word "icon" doesn't translate well to their team? Icons are easily identifiable stylized representation of an object that should be distinctive at a glance. They are not a small version of the object itself.
Yea, they are poor. Especially the strip miners - they look like a pile of poop. Literally.

I have yet to find one person who likes the way the new icons look in their current form. They are very blurry, and in some cases look quite similar to one another. For example, the new salvager icon looks very similar to the new tractor beam icon, except that one is darker than the other. This is a horrible design decision since salvagers and tractor beams are often used in tandem (Noctis/Marauders) and so they should be easily distinguishable.
To be fair, it seems like the new icons were originally very detailed, but then went through some bad compression scheme that reduced their quality by half. The old icons might not have been high-quality, but they were easy to identify and distinguish.

Pretty much everything intelligent I could say about this has already been said here, so I'll just add a

The sad part is that I don't think anyone is actually complaining about the new icons themselves, just about how blurry they are. Assuming they were drawn at full quality, or better yet using vector graphics, it shouldn't be too difficult to release high-quality versions.

Well since the recent craziness regarding everything else related to Incarna maybe we can ask nicely this time
