Confronting the HUD (Patreon)

The idea of the whole game's HUD (Head-up-display) like the coin icon, reputation, zoom, etc. was 'the less, the better'.

People should enjoy animations without these symbols getting to much in the way. Which simply equals: Make them smaller. 

With fixed textfields and icons that was not a problem. But with symbols you need to interact with, like the zoom, there was one. I need to keep those symbols bigger, since they are easier to click then.

I also thought of bringing similiar icons together, like zoom, pause and fast-forward, and I wanted to get them on the same panel, another graphic, which may look like a remote control?

The problem again was, that this extra graphic takes space in any corner of the screen. But maybe it looks way better that way?

I agree with people say, that those symbols look random. I especially see this for the zoom, switch building, and start day button. Actually the whole right side of the screen. I need to find out what to do with them.

These are just some of my thoughts. I'll attend to this topic again in a few versions. I hope I find something till then, with which I am happy.
