seriously? how. because of the white guy with the cross? because he is just a placeholder for now. i have only created the outline for the charecter but i will be adding color, clothes, hair etc. soon.

Agree with the other comments. Don't put writing on icons, it can't be read when zoomed out or on low res devices. Also the guy does look very KKK.

Maybe even just the background, a large sword and sheet of paper would be enough.

He doesn't LOOK paper. That's the problem. He just looks like a poorly drawn boy.

He looks paper to me, but i agree, get rid of the text. The eye needs to be focused on the images, not that text.
Looks good, though

Just my opinion.

I like the colors of the icon. I can't see the sword clearly, because of the text on it - and the text "crusaders" is difficult to read - so the only text I read is "Paper".

My two cents worth...

I think it's a good idea to get rid of the text, but it would be good if your icon could relate to the content of the game without the text. Just thinking...would it be too much of work to replace the background with paper, and add a colorful sword to it (if your game has people fighting with swords over a base of paper), or if you could show the icon of your "paper-warrior" (if your warriors are made of paper) on a dark background...so that whenever people come across your icon, they think of your game.

Best wishes.
