My first thought on those set icon ideas is that we're pulling on the Art trope a lot flavourfully, I'd be worried that people mistakes our set for an Art set instead of a Renaissance set if we have an art-related set icon. That's just my first impression though.
Here are other ideas:
- A butterfly or a flower, to represent rebirth + the spring aspect
- Using the Psy greek letter as a reference to psylian life (in this case, I think we really need to work on incoroporating the Psy into the flavour of the set, it needs to represent something, even if it's just another name for aether. Having stories about "the Psylian Church" for instance.)
- A heart, to represent both the life-matters aspect and the Art coming to life aspect
Like instead of that, we have something a little more like this?
It's really crude (and oversized), but an idea.
@ningyounk thank you
I feel like the heart feels sorta out of place even though I do understand the intention....I think @brcien
Could be neat. Oh, MS Paint, lol.
How about a paintbrush painting a stroke or symbol.
Harps are renaissance instruments that symbolize art/music.
I think they're planning to make the cards using MSE simultanesously, so the set symbol being pre-made helps a lot for posting purposes.
I think they'll post a link to the set here, when ready.
Probably when the set starts to have some cards cemented.
Ah, not sure. You'd have to ask @ningyounk when they determine the exact version.
Depends on how they design it using MSE and if they know how to extract it from the set file.
The harp has been used as a set symbol by another custom set called Aenyr (an Art set) which is also why I'd like to drift away from an art-related set symbol if possible. I guess something subtle like having a set symbol that looks like it's brush-painted couldn't hurt though ^^ (Click on the image below to access the Aenyr set.)

Since it's Dominaria pre-release this week-end, I figured instead of doing commons I would dig out some of the most crazy life-matters cards that exist to get some inspiration for the set. There are a few in Dominaria itself if you haven't noticed!
It's not an exhaustive list, I just took the ones from Dominaria an then the ones that I think are the most emblematic:
If anyone has any idea for this kind of cards that we could add to the set, it will definitely be useful at some point ^^
I don't know that it will be possible to avoid resemblance to every custom set symbol (in addition to actual ones), but ok.
There are not a ton of other custom sets we need to avoid, actually Aenyr is probably *THE* one because it's the closest to what we're doing. I literally can't think of another one that would be a problem right now, so it shouldn't be that much of a problem ^^
That looks amazing!
