Hey
Ive recently returned to EvE after a long time away and noticed as soon as I log in that all the icons are different and I cant find a thing easily :(
The icons for Market, Industry, Wallet etc etc are plain and not easily recognisable (for me anyway, too used to the old icons).
Although the images are 'similar', the fact that the icons are all the same colour does not differentiate them well.
Is there an option to return station services and side bar icons back to the old ones?
Plx?! :(

They've been retired, you have to use the new ones. Adapt and win. |

I was in the same boat. At first I didn't like the new look, but after a while I got used to it and prefer the new icons. Give it a week or so. |

Hope so, I just find that the old icons are much 'prettier' lol!
Not so bland :(

They suck and will continue to suck years from now compared to the old icons. |

I hope this wasn't the intent, but:
There always seems to be someone to cheer for the big CCP throwing their weight around and letting the players know that CCP doesn't have to adapt, the players are the only ones that need to do that.
Except CCP does need to adapt. This isn't 2011/Incarnagate with few other optons for Space MMO players. This isn't 2003 or 2005 (whenever they were still able to live on investor money instead of subscriptions) Chasing off players with a series of bad decisions can become irreversible.
As for the icons, not for the side icons, but for the overview ones, supposedly they're working on making the new ones less confusing and less physically painful to work with. Still waiting for examples to be posted, however. |

If you cannot get the hang of the icons, and feel the need to excuse yourself from the whole Eve experience, please be courteous to your stuff, and contract it all to me.
Thank you.
Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Months later, I still confuse them. They suck and will continue to suck years from now compared to the old icons. Agree 100%. There was no reason for the "Art Department" to mess with the Icons in-game other than it was easy and offered them a way to validate their existence (Paycheck).

Art Department - "Hey Boss, we can do an iteration on all the in-game Icons, the players are gonna love it."
Boss - "Great, even though the players haven't said anything about the old Icons, we'll just add them to the game whether they like it or not."

I still suck at distinguishing those "new" icons. Seems I need at least some color in them to be good at it. Nevermind, will get there eventually I guess. At least I hope so...

No the new icons are not fine
I also have trouble trying to see what is what, they need more colours to make them fine. As for the Overview.. well thats a bloody joke. Give us back our Crosses

No. More colours mean more trouble and issues for colourblind people. The genius of the previous system was that all icons were immediately discernible from each other by shape and shade alone - even someone with black and white vision could immediately tell things apart with no trouble. Now we have the terrible situation where there's way too much overlap in shape and color between vastly different types to be able to react quickly enough.
The red and white crosses were genius. Player ships and NPC ships, in so far as the game currently is, are completely different - one gives you content, one gives you ISK.

I had the same issues when they moved the Undock button.
There were many occasions following that which went along the lines of "OH MY GOD THE UNDOCK BUTTON IS GONE!!!! I'M TRAPPED IN THE STATION! OH MY GOD, CAN'T BREATHE, CAN'T BREATHE - HELP! SOMEBO- Oh wait, there it is."

I find myself doing that in my bed, then I manage to move the blanket and all is well again. |

Just after the icon changes hit the overview, I got shot at because I mistook someone for a cargo container .
I would have loved it had CCP instigated a toggle switch for the new overview icons (set to 'new' as default) so that those of us who have been playing for X years, and developed a reactionary memory to seeing said icons on overview, could have stayed the same.
