Show some of your favorite symbols/emblems from games

This reminded me, but I'd also like to mention the noise symbols from TWEWY.
The green pig noise is a particular favourite of mine.

These are pretty cool, I could see them as clan emblems in some multiplayer game.

I really love the icons from the Monster Hunter games used to represent the monsters. The way the outlines (or lack thereof) make give them this prehistoric art feel, which is fitting since Monster Hunter has that sort of industrial caveman fantasy vibe going for it. And how they all fit inside a square real neatly.
This one is obviously Rathalos, but there are lots more.

Another I really like are the icons representing the Jobs in Final Fantasy 14. I think most of them do a really good job at illustrating what Job they're meant to represent. There are many more than in this image now, but it getsthe point across.

That's true. I would have mentioned it myself but then people would go "this guy is a Monster Hunter nut, run!"

Seriously though, it's cool that the iconography not only characterizes monsters rather well, the style tends to vary from game to game, too. I believe in universe they are artistical impressions from either the village elder or guild scriveners/artists, and that's the in universe explanation for the variance.

Yeah definitely.
I wasn't too keen on the sketches from Rise because I thought they were harder to read, and I wasn't super into the whole NotJapan look of that game in general, but for worldbuilding purposes it's real cool that they do that.

How could I forget Homeworld? The Hiigaran emblem is the most recognizable, but the Kiith Somtaaw's emblem (furthest left, bottom row) post-Cataclysm is my favorite. Hmm, maybe that'd make a good tattoo...

I don't remember any symbols, and I didn't know most of these had any meaning, I thought they are just decoration
