vcczar Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Hey everyone. I thought of another thing you all could help me with -- symbols. Anthony said he wants symbols for: Each faction - basically to save space on the screen. So @MrPotatoTed's symbol next to a politician might be a duck or something. Each phase group...here are the phase groups below Faction Realignment Leaders Emerge Appointments Random Events Internal Affairs Foreign Affairs Congress in Session Executive Office Elections Retirement & End of Half-term Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faction realignment- Arrow Leaders emerge- Crown Appoitments- Person sitting behind a desk Random events- ? Internal affairs- American flag Foreign affairs- Eagle Congress in session- Congress building Exectuive office- white house building Elections- ballot Retirement- Skull 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ich_bin_Tyler Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Faction Realignment - two arrows one on top point left and the other on bottom pointing right. Leaders Emerge- a sunrise or crown Appointments- bust of a person in a frame like a portrait Random Events- 6 sided die Internal Affairs- map of US or a pen and paper Foreign Affairs- globe Congress in Session- gavel Executive Office- person seated behind a desk Elections- ballot box with ballot being placed into it Retirement & End of Half-term- rocking chair or person bent over walking on a cane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeP47 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Some of these are just additional idea so you have plenty to pick from, we've had some good ones already. Faction realignment - Compass Leaders emerge - Star Appointments - Tall person with a hand on a smaller person (I'm imaging the stickman infographic style) Random events - Stylized newspaper Internal affairs - Outline of DC Foreign affairs - Globe (my vote) Congress in session - Capitol Building (obvious) Executive office- White House (obvious) Elections - ballot going into a ballot box (my vote) Retirement - Person waving goodbye I also want to say for faction icons, could take inspiration from the monopoly tokens, as long as you don't blatantly plagiarize, heh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cup and saucer for the Tea Party... A group in outline for the Squad... A bulldog for the Blue Dogs...

pman Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I feel like you already have some great ideas here. Hard to improve on them. Maybe a card being turned over for random events. Every other suggestion is pretty solid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pman Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) Is it possible to have party symbols change as they evolve? It’s hard to believe in our world of rebranding we still go by an elephant and a donkey, lol. Edited March 17, 2022 by pman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewyoung123 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Faction Realignment- Red & Blue Horizontal arrows Leaders Emerge- Red and Blue Vertical arrow pointing up Appointments- A clock Random Events- A pair of dice, or maybe a playing card Internal Affairs- Justice Scales Foreign Affairs- An Eagle Congress in Session- Outline of the Capital Building Executive Office- Outline of the White House Elections- Ballot with a check mark on it Retirement & End of Half-term- A door (showing the door or exiting the door) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pman Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Faction Realignment- An intersection of two roads Leaders Emerge-A Baby Appointments- Random Events- A card being drawn by a hand Internal Affairs- The Prairies Foreign Affairs- The Eiffel Tower Congress in Session- Agree with the Capital Building or to keep it simple, a dollar sign (I kid) Executive Office-Mount Rushmore or a dollar sign (I kid) Elections- A voting booth or a dollar sign (I kid) Retirement & End of Half-term- A sign that says K-Street ---- I decided to have some fun with this because like I said earlier, all the previous suggestions are great 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPotatoTed Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Lots of great ideas. I’ll just add I love the icons, because it’s colorblind friendly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A man from Colorado Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 For the executive order, a piece of paper with the words 'EXECUTIVE ORDER' on it might work. With some unreadable words under it of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
