I’m hoping to design a logo that that is recognizable as both the archtype of healer from the context of gaming; but also as a symbol for the irl field of medicine.
I know I’ve seen some awesome examples in the past, but now that I’m actively looking for them, all I’m finding are a bunch of crosses, potion bottles, etc.
The one that stands out as a good example is Skyrim’s school of restoration logo:
^reminiscent of the Caduceus, which is universally recognized irl; but also uniquely Skyrim’s.
That said, Skyrim’s is kinda just a bird: hoping to find more intricate samples so that I can steal and combine the bits I like.
If you know of any cool healer logos from a videogame, please point me to it!
Thanks all!
Not the red cross on a white field. That’s the symbol of the Red Cross, and they get antsy if anyone else uses it. But you can use the white cross on a red field. Or a green cross. Or the rod of Asclepius. The caduceus isn’t really supposed to be for medicine.
Maybe to add to this:
Often times potions/flasks with some liquid inside (I’d say red or green) are used to symbolize “healing (potion)” in video games.
Maybe you could combine both, use a flask for the video-game part, a red/green cross inside it for the real-world connotation.
Just a thought :)
