And it's not intended by anyway to make it even close to the Thunder cats logo.

My mistake. It's been approximately 15 years or more since I saw an episode of Thundercats, so a misrecognition of the logo is not unreasonable, and several of the folks I asked agreed that it was close enough to the TC logo as to be recognized as such.

However, you didn't answer my question but focused on a tangent of it. As such, I'll rephrase: Why use an image that is not WoW related? Perhaps something that uses images that are actually related to the game, like:

Not trying to be fractious, but attempting to help you improve the style.

No worries Ulkesh, I do understand and I know that you are seeking improvements for the skin
The idea is that when I did that skin I didn't have much knowledge about WoW and the style of graphics that is being used in it, so I passed by their official website and made the skin according to my first view to their website.

Now things are different as I have been playing WoW for over ayear now and I have a level 70 tankadin there.

And what made me a bit sad today is that the rating of the skin is dropping and I'm receiving negative feedbacks here which I find it very strange because the older version of the skin has more than 3000 downloads web wide on all vbulletin sites and I didn't have the intention to upgrade this skin until i recieved tons of PMs and emails asking for the upgrade. And here we go I did the upgrade using the same graphics and the same everything and then I recieve low skin rating, low installs and high downloads (for less than one day, 21 downloads is fine).

Such things depressed me for a while for the effort done but it's not your fault I do understand now that you want to make it look better

As for the icons usage I will try to use more relative icons next time
