(8-41) Sweden Icon

[hokath]

In the next version of VP Sweden will have a new Unique Building,
(UNW) - Nobel Committee (replaces Foreign Bureau)

In the proposal I showed a proposed icon. However apparently everyone hates it. Hates me. Wants me to stop. Etc.
So I had to process that with my therapist BUT NOW I'm better so without further ado...
Which one of the following do you prefer for the icon?

a)

b)

c)

 

[rkkn]

guy on the left in b looks a lot like donald trump. Is it just me?

 

[Bysonte]

B conveys more what it's meant to be but also A is more faithful to the game style.....
I go with A.

What have been seen cannot be unseen now.

How is Nobel the "best Swede"?

 

[hokath]

GM hates civ featuring Alfred, that's the reason

 

[DanielSPoA]

I agree A fits the civ 5 style better than B, and C just doesn't represent a building to me. I don't think most people would have idea of what it represented.

 

[andersw]

A looks great and very Civ-esque.
Note A. is the picture of the Nobel Museum in Stockholm.

Nice! I couldn't place it. The mod from which it has been ripped calls the building a "War Academy" iirc.

Poll looks very conclusive.
I didn't think the handshake was that bad but clearly the election officials have been bought. I will appeal to the Supreme Court (foreshadowing)

Yes, my medal was lost but with an honorable score, I can't claim vote rigging .

Btw it is subject to change, a new Nobel Center is planned to start building 2025/2026.

You could go for an image of "Stockholms stadshus" were "Blå hallen" is located, the place where they have the dinner etc. Otherwise probably B, Alfred would probably be a better icon for dynamite. I don't know what building A is but it's not where they hand out the prize; that would be the Stockholm Concert Hall.

I think I actually like C the most. A is more consistent with the game by being a building, but I don't like how uncharacteristic it is to the idea of Nobel Committee - it is just a building with Swedish flags on it, could be anything. No Nobel, no dynamite, no fortune. Also, Nobel Committee for Peace Prize is located in Oslo, Norway.

First I liked C only because how it looks aesthetically: the golden colors of what looks to be a sunshine, the metallic texture, the expression on Nobel's face, and how volumetric and 3D the image looks - for some reason just looks gorgeous to me; but considering Nobel Committee is a more abstract thing than just a building, and that Sweden's new focus will be on Great People, I think it would be fitting for Sweden's new unique building which boosts Great People to be the Great Person himself. A big shiny golden button to press to enhance your civ's focus. I think it is fitting as an exception from general "buildable is a building" rule.

Thank you, that is exactly what I proposed it for.
