Conclave Dice

[greenstuff_gav]

so, on the old 'clave, before it died, precinctomega raised the question of customised Conclave Dice.
i'm resurrecting the idea 

so, looking at EM4's prices / availability (i used 'em for my Cake Dice ), we can get 18mm black D6, with a logo (either the 1 or the 6) in Red (white spots) for 35p each (+postage) if we order 100 (i'm assuming people would want a set of 6!).

i vote for the logo in the place of the 1

so, logo ideas? ... need to be single colour and fairly simple for the laser cutter


thoughts?

I vote for the logo in the place of the 1

Agreed. I find using a single symbol to represent 6 somewhat counter intuitive.
Yeah, I can see the appeal in it being the "big roll", but it takes me longer to recognise a symbol as a 6 rather than a one.

I recall PO's own suggestion being like this:



And that works well enough for me. Any suggestions for tweaks, I've got the .psd file - but I suspect someone else can do it a rather more snazzily than I can.

Of those two designs, I much prefer the first one.

[Heroka Vendile]

two roughs that I came up with during the original discussion but never got posted:

Design 1


Design 2


(Yes they were bothdone in MSPaint - my Adobe suite had killed itself at that time)

[Simeon Blackstar]

I'd vote Heroka's design 1 or if not, the skull-I in Gav's post.  Both are characterful and register as a 1 easily.

def gav`s, speaking personally.

just ordered dice but i`ll have half a dozen.

Why black and red/white? Surely black and green would be better (in memory of the old Conclave)...

'cause the old 'clave is dead, long live the new 'clave! 
but if its the Will of The Community, black / green can be done

i'm sure Heroka's second design isn't doable, but i can email to see if the first one is?

[Kaled]

I like Heroka's first design, but it's already a little difficult to read what it says and I imagine will be even harder to read when reduced to fit onto dice.

[Morcus]

I like the C with the skull inside, ans I vote for Green in honour of bother the old Conclave and of the Holy tomb itself.

[precinctomega]

I don't care.  I'll order a bucketful of whatever design people agree on.  They all look cool to me.

Interested in a dozen or more, All the designs are kool.

[Heroka Vendile]

I'll do a slight redesign of my first idea once this week of extreme madness has passed. (uni project presentation, two reports and I'm assistant stage manager for a local amateur musical production all this week.) bleh.

[The_fire_cleans]

if we were to a big enough order, could we conclave D10?
We could use a simple =I= logo for the one, perhaps?

[MarcoSkoll]

We could use a simple =I= logo for the one, perhaps?

The =][= logo is copyrighted, so we can't directly use it.

Bit of a shame, as I still have the set of the =][= logo D6 I have are pretty nice, but they're an actual GW product that was done early in the game's run (the downside is that a set is only five dice).
