What do you think of this HUD icon?

What do you think of this HUD icon? It's meant to be a C key button. Obviously, a game played on PC would need a PC-related HUD rather than a HUD based on the console controllers.

There's something about it that I'm not happy with. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Try making it taper in a bit more from the outside edges,and move the letter into the upper left corner.

If you're wondering about the I'm Sorry, that's aimed at TFW2005, for all the good it does.

Collided Worlds on indefinite hiatus due to being in need of heavy rewrites. I am instead working on some smaller crossovers, such as a My Little Pony and Power Rangers crossover.

Save it as a PNG next time and upload it on www.tinypic.com - easily and fast.

The C is a bit edgy and could need some anti-aliasing. Maybe the whole button could need some contrast and some kind of shading, so it looks a bit more interesting.

Overall, you should have come with more when presenting a graphic. What you have is nice, but not one bit impressive. :x

Overly critical little--.
It doesn't HAVE to be anti-aliased.It's in your own style,right?And it's shaded pretty well.It probably won't
be a glorious hyper-realistic rendering,but you never intended that,right? ;)

It doesn't have to be, no. But it looks better.

And I don't think I overdid the critic. The Graphics-board is for people who want to exhibit their work and await feedback for it. That includes suggestions to make it better. If you want to show your stuff just so that people kiss your ass, you should at least announce it in the first post.

It's actually meant to be MC style...  :-\

I tried taking the minish cap HUD buttons and making them look a bit more like keyboard keys. I'll certainly try what has been suggested. You're right, I never intended for it to be hyper-realistic LOL.

Any other ideas? I'll post a new one after I have a go at modifying it myself.

Oh, and with the regard to the slight disagreement between FOX, INTERNET AND ETC and ZeldaTheSwordsman, I didn't post this for praise, I only wanted some constructive crits on how I could improve it (I'm not very artistic.) Fortunately, the crits I've got so far have been mostly constructive  :)

Not a problem.  Do you have the HUD of MC as a reference with you?

Dude why go you around complaining about people helping others? Seriously stop saying people to not give constructive criticism when he asks for help.

I'd suggest giving it some curvature. The squareness is a little bit awkward. Inward curvature might help the "keyboard key" look.

I'd say make it bigger, you need the C/B to be quite clearly visible. I don't really have trouble seeing it, but it still needs enlargement.
