stop is generally a red color... white S makes me think of surrender.

Every true warrior knows that to stop is to surrender!

They look very nice and clean icons.
However, they don't really seem to be consistent, and I couldn't tell what any of them were supposed to be (except for the first one... hurr durr)

Yellow is hard to see with some backgrounds, and I personally prefer the darker yellow.

Please elaborate.
And about not knowing what they're supposed to all be, supcom's icons are more confusing.

I tried to color the 'switch' buttons like fire state and move state differently than the other buttons. That's why we have a whit stop.

that doesn't make a white stop button any less fail.

posting them scattered across multiple posts and 10x larger than they need to be makes in kind of hard to guage how they'd look together in game.
so in conclusion:
- you failed completely at presenting your new icons
- the icons' suitability is uncertain
