The Coloring was difficult, I wanted to keep the conventional, but decided to experiment and go sorta opposite. On ver.1 I kept the 19 black all the way through and the white highlight on all 4 C's. On ver. 2 I struggled with borders and in order to keep the black border on upper rarity, I flipped the traditional order of the colors.
Winners aren't decided yet, but I made @Corwinnn's sketches into set symbols, because I can! (This doesn't mean Corwinnn wins.) Premium members can now use these symbols. However, the rare and mythic symbols need to be unlocked!
@EnvyReaper So even though I'm sponsoring the contest, is it okay if I join and give the prizes to someone else. (If I do well enough.) I'm just learning how to do the color gradient for each rarity. As I'm confused how to do that with the vectr tool.
I need to come up with a design still, but that's just because I'm not used to minimalistic artwork for things like nation flags.
@murkletins Nation flags? You didn't by any chance play Nationstates did you?
Also, if you want designs you can take some ideas from people vying for the first challenge on page one, if you need help in certain parts of vectr you can always ask me

The mask from the famous musical The Phantom of the Opera is one of the most recognizable items from theatre. It is only natural as a disciple of theatrical arts, that I decided to make this one of my set symbols. (Also a mask is significant in my own mythos thing) The illustration shows where the borders would be and where the highlights would be. The common fill will be white (like the mask itself), but I would be curious to see what it would look like should the common be black with white highlights... The fill is silver, gold, and reddish bronze for uncommon, rare, and mythic rare, respectively. (Obviously)
1) Post an idea for a symbol: 1. "Breastplate" 2. "Trumpet" 3. "Mace-head"
2) Draw a sketch of your custom set symbol:
The mace handle should probably be at least twice as thick.
3) Make a complete set of your custom set symbols. If I do this at all, I'll probably just design two symbols that are shapes which don't represent any particular thing.
