Seleucia_ Elephant or Anchor??

Which one do you prefer to be the symbol? Do you even want either as an symbol?

Here they are:

I voted for the elephant because it would be unique for Roma Surrectum, and the more we can make the mod unique the better. I also think the elephant is a better symbol to represent the Seleucids -- their empire really was an elephant, enormous and incredibly powerful, but slow and cumbersome and tough to control. It's the perfect symbol for them.

I do think though that the anchor symbol you created is the best yet done for any mod, so if we don't use it I think you should offer it to other mods, it would be a shame if it didn't get used somewhere.

I voted for the elephant, because it's different, and it's got 'class' written all over it!

Wasn't the elephant the RTR symbol for Bactria? I may be mistaken.

**aja5191** · May 06, 2007, 04:53 PM

Yeah, it was, but it was silver on a pink/orange background, not gold on blue.

Also, it was facing the other direction, smaller, and not as detailed.

yeah, what he said

im in love with the elephant, maybe you could increase the contrast between the two colours? so a very slightly brighter elephant?

**cherryfunk** · May 07, 2007, 08:06 AM

Yes, the elephant should be brighter -- the Seleucids loved bright colors and displays of wealth.

But it is now consistant with the 'burnished' look of the other symbols. I think it's fine the way it is. If you brighten it up, then it sticks out like a sore thumb.

It needs to be a bit brighter, so does the owl, in fact I think several of them should be brightened a bit, they look too dour. Not a lot brighter, but just a touch.
