idanwin Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) .Latest version mirrors (v0.0.2):MediafirePreview (pdf): linkPreview (big jpg):For all of my design documents xDEDIT:I'm really starting to like this idea. Making an actual 0A.D. font that has all it's little icons and maybe even characters for the writings in the game (see: link)So I made this little thing here to show you what I mean:Every civ could have an icon, every resource, every building ... Not sure anyone will ever use this, but I'll put the file here once I've finished some stuff.If anyone wants to contribute some icons...ZeroAD.ttf.7z Edited April 11, 2013 by idanwin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MishFTW Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 If there is an ultra-modern UI mod, I can see this happening in-game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoot Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Nice civ glyphs you've got yourself there I suppose it could be used for sending declarations of war by postal mail in the absence of a lobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idanwin Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I was mainly thinking of using this for design documents / in-game documentation / campaign things etc.But I guess you can use them for whatever you like... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idanwin Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I've finished half of the civ icons (they need some cleaning up of course, size/placement ...)I've run into a problem with the Romans, they don't have a round icon, which may pose a problem to identify the icon as a civ icon. Do I just place the Roman icon inside a circle? Or do I leave it as it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idanwin Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) All that's left to do now is the roman civ icon:EDIT: Oh, well, I just added a circle to the Roman civ icon anyway. So, what do you guys think?(personally I want to tweak the britons middle circle and the carthaginian sign)EDIT2: ... Awaiting authorisation ...Oh, well xDHere it is:ZeroAD.ttf.7z Edited April 10, 2013 by idanwin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Falcão Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 IMHO, it is unique enough. People may not recognize it now, but with time they'll get used to it. Besides, it is the most historically accurate symbol for them, uh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idanwin Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) I finally realised what went wrong with the 0ad icon (and fixed it).I also tweaked the cart, brit and spart icons. Edited April 10, 2013 by idanwin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mythos_Ruler Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Nice. I think the "war" one should be gladii or xiphoi, instead of what appears to be medieval swords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idanwin Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) Oh, I already did that one (look at screenshot in spoiler in first post), thanks for the ptolemies one!I did the swords already as well as a matter of fact xDIf you'd downloaded the font and taken a look at it we wouldn't have done the same work twice...I might still use your swords anyway.Could you send me the svg's for ptolemies and swords?

Ludo38 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 idanwin, thanks for this cool and interesting idea. You're making this with Inkscape ?I like how it looks so far.2 suggestions :-the swords provided by Lion.kanzen look more ancient. Yours were too medieval I think. Better then to keep Lion's ones.-the two hands shaking icon is clear and well done but again, doesn't feel as ancient as it could. I have no particular suggestion here, but by inspiration from some ancient paintings style, I think you can turn it to something really ancient-fashioned.Here is an Egyptian hand : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
