Blanks for your own creations.


Here are the card blanks.







Here are all of the symbols I have and the card blanks. If you want the photo shop files let me know.

Ok, so on the cards, I definitely think that the blank symbol is better. The color symbol is nice and all, but there is alot going on with that card and too much stuff on the card might become an eyesore. I would like to discuss whether if we use the blank symbols if we should make them a single color to differentiate between them.
On the glyph cards, do we really want to have them be two different shapes? I mean, it's an interesting design, but I think a little consistency in the cards is a necessary evil, you know? Round for all the cards, IMHO.
That's all I got for now.

Just something I was playing With. I think we might want to have the Gliff / special rules cards easily told apart. Do you want the text for the Gliff card in an arrow head or just make all of the cards round, but still have the extra text space in the big box? I think that would probably work as well.

Here are the symbols I have found so far.

If we do go with single color symbols. who should get what?

The Star Fleet arrow is already light gray.

IMO, let's put a little classic flavor in there and make them all the light grey/off white that is used for the generals' symbols. On the starfield, I think they'd have to be pretty light anyway to show up well.

Thats what I was thinking. on the colors.
Do we want the larger screen on the bottom big enough to hold a gliff?

If we go with the White for all of them are we ready on the basic card?

Do we want the Gliff card round with a rectangular text box? That just popping a new border in, and reorganizing the layers a tad.

Did we have anything planned for that area? I'm thinking if we end up with another ability represented by a symbol, we'll need more room if a figure has both. Either way, IMO, it would look great if it could be hex-shaped and glyph sized.

For the sample, we need some fogging or a fade out along the bottom edge of Sisko's image. Also, is there enough wiggle room in the starfield to get that quasar away from the name a little further? Do we want to have a different color border for the different factions? I'd love to have the abilities box be the symbol for each faction, but the shapes and sizes are too varied to work.

I don't remember who suggested it, but I think the glyph card should be the same shape and share some other elements like the starfield. I'd like to see a faction symbol when appropriate on the card somewhere (Starfleet Phaser Rifle, Romulan Disruptor, etc each with the faction symbol)

That'd be me, thank you very much.

And yes, I agree. If the glyph/equipment comes from a specific faction, it should have that faction's symbol on it.
