Proposal 1
My suggestions for new icons (mostly in the same order with the addition of a temp power and costume recipe added):
The only icon that might need a bit of explanation is that of the Mission Drop symbol. Since I didn't want to use a badge and there is no concise symbol that means mission to everyone, I went with a symbol whose color scheme is influenced by the current symbol in use (the Hero accomplishment badge) and added the 8-pointed star as used on the Villain Accomplishment badges... plus, it sorta kinda looks like the little explosion symbol that is used on the in-game map to represent a mission door.
Proposal 2
In addition to the above (which I really do like the PvP, Mission and Temp/Costume images above), are these:
Proposal 3
I went back to exclusively using symbols, and the rings. I really feel like the rings add to the aesthetic and make them look "finished," especially the PvP one. I included lettering that is angled to add a bit of visual interest on the "simple" rarity pools only. Another notable change, is the use of the Merit Reward token salvage piece to denote the former TF Drop pool. I think that fits better than the salvage bag, and the old TF icon and/or lettering. Might I suggest using RM as the internal code for Reward Merit Pool? I also intesified the use of color on the Temp Power symbols... because adding a superimposed letter OVER the symbol was too busy and looked horrendous at a small scale (even with an opacity adjustment). Of all the suggestions I have done so far, this one is by FAR my favorite.
Final Version!
Hopefully, these are the final versions for this little project!
Recipe Table
The following is a suggestion for a replacement layout for the {{DropRecipeHead}} layout...

This recipe may be sold to a store for 200 inf per level. However, other players may be willing to pay more for it through the Consignment House.
The following tables show the requirements for crafting this enhancement:
{{Req X}} Templates

Finally unified to share the same size characteristics!
