I made 16 designs for icons on trajectories. Note that they're just supposed to represent roughly how it would look, it's not the actual look... For example, if you're looking for KSP1-style icons, you're probably looking for 1 - Above Full Arrow, even if it looks a bit different.

Made with GIMP, although the trajectory [blue line] was made in Inkscape, then converted to png. Images were firther converted to gif format using ImageMagick-ims6.q16's onvert command.

btw it seems that KSP and KSP2 -like icons are the most popular. I wonder why :)

For me personally, the icons with dots and the crosshairs were out because they don't indicate the exact location as well, and the belows were eliminated because they're above in KSP1 and I'm used to that (although now that I think about it I like the belows better). I thought that the pointers looked too elaborate, and that the text placement on the lines unavoidably looked kinda awkward. Lastly, I chose alpha just out of personal preference- I like things transparent usually. This gave an end result of above alpha arrow.

All of these nitpicks are just that- nitpicks, and I actually really like all of these.
