OK.

Look here is a project with its actual size.It looks quite good.But if it is resised all effects used for that become unvisible. What is more the Gif format is not nice for such projects.

You are quite right. When you resize it there is little that actually can be seen. Have you experimented with different pic formats other then .Gif?

I'm sure Jan likes that you have chosen Bf 109 "black 13" for this icon... :D
Once again I apologize for any misunderstanding.

Yes I have. But not all systems can display the kind of files correctly . There is PNG type

But back to the shields.As you can see there is not enought of space in the pic.So that's way it's difficult to set them at a position that could be optimal. ( Added another pic above)

Difficult choice... hard to find optimal solution. Although this last icon you posted looks really good to me. Only problem is where to put the shield...

I guess, if you put the shield completely by the side... I mean next to the profile and ribbon so that it actually doesn't cover anything, that wouldn't be good solution since icon would be too large? Besides it probably would look funny... Basically it always comes down to choosing between two proposals you posted in #321.

You are right Wojtek, MiG-15 really has a large vertical tail... Maybe some other type of aircraft could be considered? MiG-21? It too has quite a large tail but its considerably longer, so it might look better...

I'm still feeling underestimated. .... Of course I did it. But this time I had to make a decision what is better a small - bigger icon that can be better seen or a very small one quite "unreadable." So I gave up the idea according to Less' suggestion.

Concerning the MiG-21.I can make you sure the aircraft fin and rudder are big too.Initially I used Sabre but the effect is the same.

I like the way u got things now Wojtek... U have exceeded everyone expectations on how prefectly they fit what we were looking for....

Top fu*kin notch Brother......

For the last one, which is a split build, we need 2 more....

Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep OCT NOV DEC
-----8-------------- Commonwealth / VVS Forces ***SPLIT BUILD*** ARMOR Stalingrad till Kursk

Since we already have a Soviet/Russian profile in the mix, how bout an Aussie or Kiwi crate for the Commonwealth Icon.... As foir the Armor Build, Im not sure what we should use.... I would say either a Tiger/Panther tank or a T-34....

Lets see u work em up...
 
And just to show off the hard work of my friend Wojtek, here are all of our Icons, in order.....

Wojtek, would u do me a favor and crate a new Icon, a Defense of The Reich Members Choice with 1st place gold shield???

I'm very happy you like my work.Thank you so much for that Friends.:D

And Dan, certainly I can do that.But do you want me to add the gold shield to the Member's Choice only or it has to be something new?
 
In that way My Brother?....
