When a player dies in Team Fortress 2, the event is logged briefly in the upper right-hand corner of the screen (occasionally referred to as a kill feed or death notice), displaying from left to right the name of the player (and, if applicable, an assisting player) responsible for the kill, an icon that reflects the nature of the death, and then the name of the player who died. The icon is referred to as the kill icon, or death notice icon. Additionally, all event logs involving the player are tinted pale yellow (in comparison to the normal brown) and remain on-screen for a longer period of time in order to assist the player in keeping track of their events. If the death was the result of critical damage, then the icon has a red glowing effect behind it; if the weapon used is one of the Australium weapons, it has a golden glowing effect instead behind it.
Most weapons have unique kill icons, but there are some that refer to multiple weapons.

Unused
See also: Unused content
There are several unused kill icons that can be found in the game files. Some of these icons are included for custom use by the community, others appear to have been replaced by the currently used kill icons or possibly had their accompanying concept scrapped.
| Name | Kill icon | Potential use | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Environmental death | 
|
Likely implemented early on in development for explosive weapons, this icon has been in the files since the game's release. |
|
Half-Zatoichi | 
|
An alternate kill icon for the Half-Zatoichi, assumedly designed for when a Half-Zatoichi wielder instantly kills another Half-Zatoichi wielder. |
|
Wrap Assassin | 
|
An alternate kill icon for killing a player with the alt-fire bauble. |
|
Third Degree | 
|
A kill icon for killing a player via the weapon's damage transfer effect. |
|
Holiday Punch | 
|
A kill icon for killing a player presumably while they are laughing. |
|
Deflected arrow headshot † | 
|
Scoring a headshot with a deflected arrow. |
| Deflected flaming arrow † | 
|
Scoring a kill with a deflected flaming arrow. | |
| Deflected flaming arrow headshot † | 
|
Scoring a headshot with a deflected flaming arrow. | |
| Deflected Sandman ball † | 
|
Scoring a kill with a deflected ball. | |
|
Level 1 Sentry Gun | 
|
This icon appears similar to the standard Level 1 Sentry kill icon with one clear difference: the Sentry appears to have some kind of laser attached to the top. The icon was introduced to the game files months before the Engineer Update. |
|
Flaming arrow headshot † | 
|
Kill icon added with the Engineer Update for scoring a kill with a flaming arrow headshot. |
|
Ambassador headshot | 
|
Two headshot icons for the Spy's Ambassador. The first was used in-game from the Sniper vs. Spy Update to the Engineer Update, but was changed to the Sniper Rifle headshot icon for unknown reasons. The second icon was included in the game files, but never used in-game, and is only assumed to be related to the Ambassador. |
| |||
|
Baleful Beacon | 
|
A kill icon from the VPK files for a weapon that does not exist in-game. |
| Stratonic Swatter | 
|
A kill icon from the VPK files for a weapon that does not exist in-game. | |

Shred Alert | 
|
A kill icon for the Shred Alert. |

Alien walker | 
|
A kill icon from the VPK files, likely meant to be used for the Alien walkers on 2Fort Invasion. |
| Paint Bomb | 
|
A kill icon from the VPK files for an unused "Paint Bomb" weapon. | |
| |||
|
Blutsauger Dart | 
|
A kill icon that was added to the game in the Gold Rush Update alongside the Blutsauger, intended to be used alongside the unused Blutsauger dart model also found in the game files. The icon was eventually entirely replaced in the kill icon VTF by the Axtinguisher's kill icon in the Pyro Update. |
†These unused kill icons were created and contributed by NeoDement.

- The headshot kill icon for the Ambassador is unaffected, despite being shared with the Sniper Rifle.
- The Tribalman's Shiv's kill icon is pictured upside down.
- Sniper Rifles cannot headshot within 0.2 seconds after zooming in; however, if the player is Crit-boosted and shoots on a head within 0.2s it shows up as the headshot icon.
- Deflected Sandman balls and Wrap Assassin baubles show that the enemy killed themselves with the ball/bleeding kill icon.
- Deflected flare kills show a different flare gun kill icon depending on the weapon equipped by the player getting the deflect kill:[1]
