Neon HUD Frames

Neon HUD Frames is a set of 10 heads-up display frames drawn in the low-poly style, where the silhouette is an angular polygon and the face is split into flat triangles. It contains a minimap frame with a north marker, a character portrait frame, a compass strip, three crosshair reticles, an objective waypoint marker and a quest tracker plate.

These are the pieces that stay on screen the whole time a game is being played, which makes them the hardest to get right: every one of them has to be readable over arbitrary game art without covering the middle of the screen.

Four triangles meet off-centre and each carries its own flat tone, which is exactly how a faceted mesh shades. There are no curves anywhere in the kit and no gradient on any facet.

Inside that style this is the Neon reading of it: a dark interface on a deep space blue palette with cyan accents, built around four corner brackets in place of a closed border, chamfered buttons at 144x36, hollow-cored bars divided into 12 segments, and two-tone icons on a 32px grid. Those measurements are why two families can share an art style without being interchangeable: the style decides how an edge is drawn, the numbers decide what the interface is for.

The quest plate marks a completed objective with a filled box and a struck-through line rather than by dimming it, so the tracker stays legible against a bright sky. The compass ticks alternate major and minor so a heading can be read at a glance rather than counted.

Every sprite ships as an editable SVG and as transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x, so you can drop the PNGs straight into an engine or open the vector and change a colour. Built to the same measurements as the rest of the Neon family, which means this kit and the Neon panel kit line up without either being resized. A good fit for low-poly games.
