Since we are very close to releasing the banners onto Blight, I started pondering what more we could do utilize them and make things a little more interesting than the 9 non-festival banners for year round use that we have now. And one of the things that I thought would be neat would be to create a banner (and lair mural) with symbolism for each race so that everyone can show pride in being saris or dwarf or dryad or etc. So what I'm interested in is what everyone thinks is a good symbol or group of symbols to represent each one.
We have some old artwork that was intended to be racial symbols, but they really don't fit well into Istaria as it is now and I really would not want to use them. So I ask each of you, what do you think represents best the race(s) that you play? I might even put a poll up later on if we get several good ideas for each. If you want to express it artistically, please attach it to your post on this thread. This is all informal at this point with no plans for an immediate release but it is definitely something that I would like to do in the near future.
BTW, the cloth sim is looking nice for the banners and I'm sure that everyone will have fun jumping up and setting them flapping. Dwarves, gnomes and dryads might have some trouble getting a good bounce out of them though, but the holiday banners and any new ones we make will hang down lower. I lined up about 10 of them and flew my Genesis dragon under and got them all going. Was quite humorous.
