Have you tried reinstalling?

lol.. I remember how the icons were saved in a font file, I guess you're missing that font file now..

Anyway, try this: steam://validate/220

okay, tried both, but it hasn't fixed it.

to reinstall it u just go to the properties and click the delete local game content, right?

Moved to correct area. Someone a while back had the same issue but I cant quite remember how he fixed it but it had to do with Window's Font folder. Go to your window's font folder(C:\WINDOWS\Fonts) and see if halflife2.tff is there, if it isn't there then add it, if it is there try removing em.

EDIT: Found it

Go to "fonts" in control panel (windows) and delete any Half-Life2 fonts there, just did that and now my crosshairs and weapons hub are correct.
