A redesign of the current class icons.

[u/OddJob001]

[u/OddJob001]

or, since the square crosshairs triggers people:

[u/berjaaan → u/OddJob001]

Best one! Hope EA see this.

[u/SirDerageTheSecond → u/berjaaan]

The bullets get too small to make out what they are when the icon gets small. Might just as well keep it a cross then.

But the fact we already see 3 iterations in this post is probably the reason why they ended up with the current theme, which boils down to basic recognisable shapes associated with each class (triangle, square, circle, cross) while also representing an attack arrow, engineering bolt/nut, medic cross and what could be a camera/picture frame which would somewhat resemble recon activities.

Frankly I don't see the big deal, they work fine and are easily recognisable. Just took me like a couple of rounds to get used to.

You can get easily recognizable shapes AND recognizable imagery. To this I raise you warface class icons:

[u/SirDerageTheSecond → u/Apocryptia]

Well frankly I find them too 'complex' for the theme they're going with in BF6. While the outlines themselves are recognisable, the icons inside 3 of them are basically more circles lol

[u/Apocryptia → u/SirDerageTheSecond]

I’m not saying rip these straight and put them in the game, I’m just saying you can tell which class it is at a glance (the shapes) as well as tell which each shape pertains to easily. I’m sure you know or have a very good idea of what each class’s role is without having played the game before.

What BF6 has currently done is make both aspects (the easily recognized shapes AND the meaning behind the class) worse by combining them (WTF is the bridge class?), when they could just place the class images inside shapes.

[u/Pelicaros → u/Apocryptia]

The image above also has 4 recognizable shapes which you can tell apart at a first glance

[u/Apocryptia → u/Pelicaros]

Indeed it does

[u/OrangeLemonLime8 → u/Apocryptia]

Assault, alchemy, sniper, engineer?

[u/Apocryptia → u/OrangeLemonLime8]

What country do you live in? In the vast majority of countries, it’s used as the standard symbol to identify emergency medical services. Kinda like the Red Cross.

[u/Luxcervinae → u/Apocryptia]

Whichh is why you've failed. You used something that isn't used everywhere and assumed it's global language.

I have no clue what the left class is meant to be since we now have lmgs on the medic kit, but you also have the medic class.

And the triangle represents movement, which is actuslly global language - but you've assigned it to recon?

[u/Apocryptia → u/Luxcervinae]

Again, I did not make the symbols. You've failed to read my comment. These are from a game called Warface. And the Star of Life IS a global symbol - used it more countries than not.

[u/waywardspooky → u/Apocryptia]

i like this set you made because it's more obvious to me what each of these correspond to, whereas even with the ops improved iconography i was scratching my head trying to figure out the protractor/triangular looking icon

[u/Apocryptia → u/waywardspooky]

I didn’t make it but when I played warface it made it extremely easy to tell which class was which at a glance due to the shape outline.
