Skywind Logo (Robbinsoth)

I'm creating this piece for personal use mainly (for my portfolio and what-not), but i do feel like this project needs a proper logo! I figure that maybe with the communities help i can get something accurate for myself, and something cool for you guys.

So i'm making two versions: One being like a woodcut print on paper, and one being 3D. Im trying to incorporate the Nerevarine Prophesy around the outside, with the moon and star being in the middle. I also have the red mountain and the blight in the inner circle, and space to include symbols of both Keening and Sunder around the outside.

Im trying to keep it medieval in aesthetic, ambiguous yet 'fantasy'. Something that feels believable etc etc.

With all this in mind, can i grab anyones brain to help brainstorm some symbols for the 7 trials? And if anyone has any pointers or possible fixes (my morrowind lore is nil) chirp up -lets not offend anyone here ;)

well it kicks the shit out of

well it kicks the shit out of mine, i just did a gold star in zbrush. The lore masters will be along shortly, with their lore wangs

Love me some lore wang. Any

Love me some lore wang. Any day, Anytime.

I did some more and fleshed out some of the empty areas. Not sure about the cloud things on the outside though - i feel like theres a better aesthetical way of incorporating the 7 trials.

Just ideas.

I will add a bit different symbols here, connected with trials like you mentioned. I will start form empty space in left bottom corner with next one with clockwise direction.

first trial
On a certain day to uncertain parents
Incarnate moon and star reborn.

Maybe some fetus with some halo?

second trial
Neither blight nor age can harm him.
The Curse-of-Flesh before him flies.

standing dude with rising hands and some "powerfield" around him

third trial
In caverns dark Azura's eye sees
And makes to shine the moon and star.

Eyes symbol sounds for more the most reasonable

fourth trial
A stranger's voice unites the Houses.
Three Halls call him Hortator.

Three houses symbols

fifth trial
A stranger's hand unites the Velothi.
Four Tribes call him Nerevarine.

4 yurts?

sixth trial
He honors blood of the tribe unmourned.
He eats their sin, and is reborn.

Sunder and Keening

seventh trial
His mercy frees the cursed false gods,
Binds the broken, redeems the mad.

Broken tribunal symbol?

Of course simplified=better

-----------------

Instead of clouds I will add decorations in styles:

1.Hlaalu

2.Redoran

3.Telvanni

4.Ashlanders

5.Imperial

6.Nords

7.Dwemer

How do you want to depict these styles is up to you.

It would be cool to see it whole animated too

Needs more cliffracers

I will actually put a

I will actually put a cliffracer in. No jokes.

@Lukkar: Cheers for the suggestions! Your a very helpful bastard.

First Trial: This is the center moon and star.

Second Trial: Perfect. I'll abstract this idea a bit to fit the space.

Third Trial: I thought about a cavern with the eye illuminating it.

Fourth Trial: Houses for sure.

Fifth Trial: Yurts will fit well

Sixth Trial: Sunder and Keening

Seventh Trial: I had the three triangles from Dagoth Urs Helmet. Tribunal symbol works better tho.

I am thinking of animating it, This version at least. Something of an ink reveal with the 7 trials being revealed first before the moon and star reveal in a finale. Would be cool to get a music track composed for it, aaaaaand maybe a voice over speaking the seven trials - but thats a very long shot haha.

To work then!

Maybe for second, open hand

Maybe for second, open hand with some power field, I think it is easier to depict. About animation I was thinking of rotating circles, but your idea could be good too. Good to know you are eager to work [External image]

I was actually drawing a hand

I was actually drawing a hand when i read your comment - super weird.

More fiddling around:

About hand I think it's

About hand I think it's better to show open palm directly to viewer. Sth like sign stop in western culture. Now it reminds me of one meme (1,2) I have to admit that would be interesting trial for nerevarine [External image]

I don't understand indicators in great houses, for me it looks like question marks. Maybe just add instead of it I will add simplified: weight (Hlaalu), bug (Redoran) and floral element (Telvanni). The last one would be hard but I belive that you are skilled beast.

Looks like sex on a page.

Looks like sex on a page. Moon and star right? Amazing. That in a 3D steel-like texture for the representation of Skyrim on the amazing parchment background of Morrowind would simply top it off.

I know this is an old thread,

I know this is an old thread, but I'm actually considering getting part of this as a tattoo (my first), and wasn't sure if I should ask for permission to use it. I figure it's better to ask at least. Would you mind if I used this logo for a tattoo? I'm still not 100% decided, but this is one of the only things I've seen that I would consider getting. It's vague enough that people won't say "That's dumb. Why'd you get a video game tattoo?" but it means a lot to me, as Morrowind has been my favorite game for more than half of my life. :P I know, I'm off topic, but just wanted to check and make sure it's ok to use this for that.

I can't imagine that Robbin

I can't imagine that Robbin would mind, he's a cool guy. I'll try to get him to give his approval.
