Aug / Sept 15 Lite Challenge: War Banner Icon Set

[Abu Lafia]

I played around in gimp today, to figure out an easy way to do banners. I thought, a set of them might fit into this month's lite challenge. So here we go:

I started with a rather simple one in two different colours. Others will follow...
I used the symbol of House Kharoun/ I.A.S.A as a placeholder for now . I think i will make them blank in the end and maybe add a .xcf (gimp) or .psd file (with a mini-tut) for download after the challenge, so they can be customized with emblems later...
I guess there are already similiar things around in the web (or even here?), but i think there can't be enough war banners for a horde of (fantasy) cartographers!
Comments, critique, suggestions, etc. are as always welcome!
Cheers,
AL

Hey! Cool!!

For battlemaps it would be cool to have banners like this in an almost top town view, just slightly tilted so you can see the banner.

Nice! Blank ones for adding your own icon, glyph or sigil would be great

[Abu Lafia]

@ Bogie: yeah, that's a good idea! I'll give it a try, although i think other types of banners i have in mind (where the flag is only fixed on one cross beam(?)) might be better for a top-down view...

@ Thanks chick, good to hear, customizeable ones might be of some use

These look great! Looking forward to seeing what else you come up with.

These would look great in a heraldry legend or as part of the border of a map, too. Nice work! Have some rep.

Thanks a lot for the comments and the rep! Very much appreciated And ofc welcome to the challenge Coriolis!

So i made another banner, this time more antique / exotic looking , and only one version for now... though i think i have to tweak it later
