==Overview==
 
−
Many video games which give the player a variety of abilities will use icons or symbols to allow players to identify individual powers at a glance, City of Heroes included. However, unlike many of these games, City of Heroes not only uses these icons to quickly denote individual powers, but also to convey the effects and usage of the powers.
 
  
−
A power icon in City of Heroes has three important components: the inner symbol, the border, and the color.  The inner symbol indicates one or more of the powers' effects.  The border indicates whether the power requires a target to use and whether it affects an area or a single target.  Most powers' borders do not, unfortunately, indicate whether the power affects teammates or enemies; this information must be extrapolated by looking at the inner symbol (i.e. if the inner symbol denotes a positive effect, the power most likely affects allies or the caster) The color of an icon indicates the power set that the power belongs to; every power set has its own unique combination of background and foreground colors, although some colors are shared between primary or secondary power sets and [[Ancillary Power Pools]] with similar themes, though never within the same [[archetype]].  This is done to reduce the footprint of the City of Heroes installation; for example, by having Frozen Armor use the exact same icon in the [[Ice Armor]], [[Cold Mastery]], and [[Ice Mastery]] sets, one icon file provides the art for 3 powers, reducing the size of the City of Heroes install.

== Inaccuracies ==
 
−
Many of the power icons in this game do not follow the guidelines described in this article. Forum-goer [http://boards.cityofheroes.com/member.php?u=364189 Vanden] has created an "add on" (data files that replace in-game images or information) that fixes most of the inaccurate icons.
