Runic stuff

I'm really sorry if this starting a new thread for this is a bad idea... please move this post somewhere else if it doesn't belong here.

Here's a some really cool pictures I found. Maybe they can be used in the ui graphics somehow:

This last one looks like a couple of horny dogs or something:

Again, sorry if I'm just being annoying. Maybe someone else has already posted the exact same pictures.

I considered posting something like that, I love runes (I can read the older futhark)!

I was about to recommend that we change the loading bar into a runestone with increasing colour, but it seemed a bit unnecessary and way too early.

I like that idea Athokas

I was also thinking of having behind Wrath of the Norsemen on the title page, a shadow in Runes

I was thinking something similar, too. I really liked the first picture I posted there.

Cool pics!! i will implement more runes in the graphics now.

a runestone loading bar would be cool, but it would be practically impossible as the loading bar can only be around 10-15 pixels tall (unless i find a way to change that). thats why i chose a sword (it's not tall and can be as long as needed)

Excellent page made by a norwegian guy living in Denmark.

By the way, if they are nordic runes i can tell you the names and what they signify.

I.E This

is the rune Algiz, which signifies Protection, sanctuary, prayer, freindship and trust.

I can write and read the old germanic runes and medieval runes.
The "viking" runes are a bit harder.

**GodlyAvatar** · March 05, 2007, 03:04 PM

I dont know about germanic and medieval ones, but i can do thhe viking ones well.

**Harðurāðaz** · March 08, 2007, 03:25 AM

Okey here I have writen down the name Svensk Viking in runes.
The upper runes are medieval
and the runes at the bottom are the older Futhark/Germanic
