I drafted three variants of the icon, happy to recieve improvement suggestions :)

The top looks far too dense in each iteration (there should be a 2px gap between all distinct elements), I think we'll have to stick with a single vertical line in the middle like in the first similar icon, maybe something like this: image image

(The bottom rounding is also something that we probably shouldn't go with, as it makes it look too much like it's a detached piece of equipment, like some kind of steampunk-ish medieval torch).

You're totally right about density, I forgot about the 2px distance, sorry.😅

What do you think of this more "zoomed in" approach? image My personal favourite would be the right variant. I think one could omit the bottom of the tower and get more detailed at the top for better recognition.

Not bad, although these parts do go against our guidelines I think: image

Under what circumstances could one deviate from the rules? Because I personally think that it looks better with that extra element: image

Any updates on this? :)

As I said, I think that it looks slightly better with the extra element on the left, but the right version would also fullfill all rules and does not go against the guidelines.

@jis3r Sorry for late reply. Can you post a 100%(24x24px) scale comparison? I think you probably won't see the little line. Or the average person won't see it.

What do you mean by scale comparison? The images I posted should both be 24x24px.

By 100% we mean an image where the icons actually take up a 24 by 24 pixel space, e.g.: tower control

The third one is an alternate suggestion (the line at the bottom suggests that the tower ends there making it look comically short and the overall weight of the icon is maybe a bit too small).

I think the third option looks more like a tower
