A speculative drawing of a homin craft mark

Go here.

If it seems logical, I'll turn it into a vector graphic.

So, feedback please.

I can propose creating individual pictograms for zorai crafters :)

abosolutly amazing idea.

Personaly i would prefer something like

Outer Track:

Starting at the top and working clockwise (which is different to yours)

1 = Basic
2 = Fine
3 = Choice
4 = Exellent
5 = Supreme

Inner track
Starting at the top and working clockwise

The Q of the item (similir to yours) in Q10's

For example a Q9 wold have no inner filled, but a Q250 would have all filled.

Mainly becuase most crafters craft to a Q10 range.

however each block represents to the nearest Q10 so a Supreme Q250 would have everything colours in. A choice Q100 would have the 3 outer filled and 10 inner filled.

I really like your idea tho :D

Oooh, I love the idea! :)

No, it doesn't exactly seem logical. :p For one I'd put the circle end on the right side. For two I'd only color one outer segment (50+30=80) and not two (100+30=/=80). For three I'd make the inner icons represent either 1 or 5 or 10 Qlt, never 2. But such illogicalities do give the mark an appropriately exotic appearance. :D

Why would it only represent the 1-250 quality though? Why not the basic/fine/choice/exc/sup or the LQ/MQ/HQ?

I am intrigued by how variations of this mark could be made, as I'd fully expect every society to have their own slightly different version of it. For example, like this.

Ah, I'm liking how this thread is going now - critique and alternative ideas. :)

That design is very cool, Sidusar, as is the underlying concept of different societies having their own versions.

I don't understand why the circle end should be on the right side? I think of it as an arrow head. That said, "o------- Read me this way!" is really less lucid than "<------- Read me this way!" so maybe the "circle end" should be a trapezoid with the thin end leftmost.

Anatti's idea is more logical than mine, and the graphics Sidusar and I have drawn don't even need to be modified to implement it. So all I did is update the on-image documentation.

Because LQ/MQ/HQ is determined by looking at the item itself. :p

Well, upon looking at it I saw the circle as an end point, not as something pointing. Kinda like the little bulb at the end of a thermometer.
