    i would've thought a wheel/hubcap image would've been the go to image. Barring that maybe a tread?

    It should be a flaming skull.

    I think it looks awesome here and different enough visually from most of the other icons even when knocked down to 1-color. But this is a good point: some icons are way more readable and distinct than others (even if this does look like a syringe in the wrong light). I'm kind of worried that icon_hulkcho.png is going to be one of those '**** am I matching' icons.

    Overall Ghost Rider's animations/design/cover art looks wicked cool --

    At least it isn't another lightning bolt.

    Or another X.

    Or a face/helmet looking right at you.

    Or maybe slightly away from you.

    Looks like a pogo stick to me, or a jack hammer.

    I think a sideways skull on fire would have been pretty easy to do and self explanatory.

    Don't even think it needed to be a wheelie, I mean the kinda bike he rides isn't that suited for that stunt.

    But I do agree, why it was a motorbike from the front I don't know.

    Star Lord's icon also creeps me out because they didn't fill in the eyes. *shudders*

    A sideways skull with flames similar in layout to this image, just simplified:

    I was gonna post that too but...they need to be symetrical, don't they? So you don't get confused as to the effect of the tile...or something.

    Looks dang good to me, and that's just a vector mockup. Looks great in black too icon_twisted.gif

    D3 can be on the cutting edge of a new business model: crowdsourcing their UI!

    Can we stop suggesting the Offspring logo now? Ghost Rider is cool. Offspring are not. Never the two shall meet.

    Obviously, Ghost Rider's icon should be a chain. That could get confused with Luke Cage's icon, though, so we also need to change Cage's icon to a Christmas tree. Problem solved, living in a better world, etc.

    I can see that.

    What I have never seen, however, is Ghost Rider on a pogo stick.

    Now you have!
