So I'm toying with the idea to put a (8x10 pixel) skull insignia on the lv5 of a new tower in the next version of Zombie TD. It also represents poison/curse/death.
I've done a bunch of variations and I have a few favorites (for the context)...but I wanna know which one(s) YOU think look best/right. Feel free to post your own varation(s), I'm always looking for inspiration. 
Update (#13 & 14 + Christoballs & A3um): 
Current selection, a #13 variation in place on the tower:  Edited by DawnBringer - 19 June 2012 at 2:13am |

I prefer 4,5 and 7. Having just the cranium (e.g. 4) might be the most readable at a glance.

#4 looks best to me, by far.

I'm hesitating between no.4 and no.7.
I've made my own skull, I hope it helps somehow:  Edited by Christoballs - 17 June 2012 at 3:56am |

Yeah, #7 is my fav as it looks grim on the weapon, but I guess #4 is a bit more readable.
@Christoballs: Yeah, that's a nice variation, putting highlights on the "eyebrows" is a neat option. |

I think #4 is the most readable, like the others said.

@a3um: Yeah, I like that one too: good balance between symbolism/clarity and realism.

Now that I look at it, 12 has a pretty cool feel to it.

Took some impressions from Christo & A3um versions and made another two skulls (#13 & 14)

14 is my favourite so far! I've made second version of my skull, trying to give more importance to the jaw and brow:

Heres an ok edit by me.
I think that number 13 is very nice. |

I like no. 4 because of the missing lower jaw and the teeth on it. I also like No. 14 and Christoball's 14.2 because they look great at 100%

Think I'm going with this slight variation of #13 as it looks a little grimmer than #14.
@Mr.Fahrenheit: Good try, but it doesn't read very well as a skull...more like the face of some strange and friendly creature. Edited by DawnBringer - 19 June 2012 at 2:13am |
