Flight Rising Discussion

I want to know how people feel about our flight symbols! [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/layout/elemental_banners/earth_banner.png[/img] Pretty obvious symbol choice, standard 3-peak layout, but I guess that's not a bad thing for a banner. [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/layout/elemental_banners/fire_banner.png[/img] [s]fire flight best flight[/s] The top little peak is kinda inconsistent, it's more prominent and curved here than on most other fire flight symbol depictions. Sorta reminds me of a whale tail. Pretty solid symbol, though. (Also I scan/"read" this symbol from the top right and curling in, making it "feel" upside down to me. Anyone else?) [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/layout/elemental_banners/wind_banner.png[/img] Alright swoopy thing, Wind is hard to symbolize I suppose. Looks nice. [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/layout/elemental_banners/water_banner.png[/img] Not a unique idea, but presented in a very pretty, symmetric, pleasing way. I dig it. [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/layout/elemental_banners/shadow_banner.png[/img] Crescent moon swirly. Kinda reminds me of Fire, lots of curling. [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/layout/elemental_banners/light_banner.png[/img] I can't decide how I feel about this one. [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/layout/elemental_banners/ice_banner.png[/img] Ice crystal lookin' sharp. [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/layout/elemental_banners/lightning_banner.png[/img] On one hand I'm really glad they didn't go for the obvious cartoon lightning bolt, but it looks so out of place next to all the simplified and stylized banners? [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/layout/elemental_banners/nature_banner.png[/img] Related issues to the Lightning one- this one is stylized, obviously, but still super busy and complex compared to the other symbols! I feel like they could have had a simpler tree, some how, or maybe even just a fancy looking leaf? EDIT also lightning and nature are the only two whose symbols touch the edge of the banner?? [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/layout/elemental_banners/plague_banner.png[/img] Unique, looks cool, but can I ask what it.. is? [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/layout/elemental_banners/arcane_banner.png[/img] Is this your god's head on a flag They're also depicted some other places, like.. in dragon thumbnail bios and in dragon page backgrounds, the dominance board, the dominance flag, the elemental runes items, the runestones game, and a.. uh, tome apparel? Plus the festival sashes and emblems? ?? Small ones on crowns? I'm not going to dig them all up right now but feel free to reference any of those when talking. (But really, does anyone else see a whale tail in Fire's banner?)

@Burnout

1. Now I can't stop seeing the whale tail omg XD

2. What even Arcane

Arcane's is a comet pointed down ready to cause Another apocalypse at any time.

Leave magicdad's pope head alone

@Ichamo I'm not sure whether to be happy or sad that it doesn't carry over elsewhere! [img]http://flightrising.com/images/layout/dominanceduex/firstplace_fire.png[/img] We need like written standards or something tbh seriously though that was how I first saw Arcane's flag Edit @EmeraldMew OH that makes sense Arcanist's head looks like a meteor then (comets don't typically collide.. right?)

Plague's flag is a dividing cell!

@Burnout @Demonify

I always thought that the Plague symbol was to do with a strand of DNA (like the nucleic acid double helix). Is there word from the devs about it anywhere? (Didn't find a note about it on Plague's wiki page.)

@Stanzascale IIRC it's something like that, yeah. Can't find the post about it.

I do wish Nature's was a bit more simplified. It's not really a symbol when you're just drawing the whole damn tree.

We have no time to have a peasants simple banners. Also, it's completely normal that symbols in banners sometimes touch the edge.

Plague's Symbol: http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/help/1524994/1 Page 2 [quote name="acheronta" date=2015-07-30 20:22:17] @Vallantis I personally like it because it looks a bit like infinity and yinyang, like other said above. But if you want the official answer: [quote][i]Hi! I was just wondering what the Arcane and Plague Flights’ symbols are meant to look like. They were probably the hardest symbols to design, because they’re hard elements to represent, but they came out great. I was just wondering what they are. Thanks![/i] We’re glad you like them!
