I believe you already tried such, but wanted to show my suggestion anyway
Yes, it may be a bit "cartoony" compared to the rest of the counters, but personally I prefer a little bit of "cartoony" anyday before "hard to discern". But maybe that is because I orientate myself on board war games more so far (and/or more grognardy PC wargames).
Italian, Romanian and Hungarian armored units...
I like the way these look, but the colors are a little vivid for my taste, might look better under a lot of the overlay layers I have. I'll try throwing it together a little later.
I also was thinking of doing a colored outer border. I messed around with it a little while ago when I was first starting these and it came out pretty cool.
EDIT: Just took a couple minutes to whip up what I mean
I remember having some counters like this for some boardgame a long long time ago.....wish I could remember the name. I know it doesn't stand out that much, but it's pretty identifiable if every counter has it's nations flag.

It would be interesting to see also the german WWII symbols in the future, but the NATO symbols are very good in any case.
For the SS I did try black lines but it was a little hard to read. I'll see if I can make it work. I'm not that familiar with the little flag symbols, you have a link to anything about them? I have a pretty cool idea for some counters that utilize the little flags for when I finish up these counters.
I'm also going to release the .psd template I use if anyone wants to mess around with them once I'm done. I made it super easy to adjust so it's very little work to add new units. I have a lot of work to finish up tonight, but I might get around to doing a little bit here and there when I get the time. I have the day off of work tomorrow so I will probably spend a couple hours on these at some point.
