I am making a fun game with my brother, we are both trash at UI design and art, however we have 2 differing opinions on which image should be used for a paid currency in the game.
For context the free currency you get each kills looks like this:
Image:
And these are the differing images for the paid currency
Paid Currency #1:
Paid Currency #2:
The skull is because of kills, right? Is the paid currency like… fancy kills? (are you paying to kill a thing?)
If the paid currency has nothing to do with kills, perhaps it should have a different icon. one more similar to its indeed function or purpose.
To answer your question: I like #1. It’s got a diamond feel and diamonds are luxury so it makes a good paid currency. However, Its got this white outline that the first currency doesn’t have. If you wanted it to share some resemblance to the first one, perhaps you could get rid of the outline. Also, the glow is fine but seeing in #2 how it looks without the outlines makes me wonder if the glow would look better if it was only on the outside of the skull, instead of also being inside the eyes and noes.
(bonus: add a shine or two to emphasize its rarity)
I would say it depend on how your game looks …
Also are they going to be tiny small ?
