[game_preservation] SIG Icon - Joystick and Belljar Redone

[Devin Monnens]

The small one looks funny. The gray of the joystick is too thick and jaggy.
Those things can happen when an object that looks perfectly fine gets scaled

black smudge at the tip of the joystick handle? Did your mouse get caught in
it?

But yeah, big one looks good. Just when you turn it small...
