I am trying to figure out the style for this world map that I am working on:

Not sure what to go with and haven't seen a lot of full world maps that were done really nicely. Any suggestions?

- I want to stay away from symbolic single mountain and single tree pics as they would not fit in the full world map and I'd like to have some colour in there so if you have suggestions or examples I'd love em.

Here is a map that I recently did and is actually a part of this world and done in an old style map which I want to stay away from for the whole world map.
