    Default Religion symbols

    You've probably seen the small symbols for Christianity, Zoroastrianism and Paganism in the UI in RTW-BI. Now I need similar ones for the AOVAF relgions. There are three symbols per religion:

    pip_religion_RELIGIONNAME_positive.tga
    pip_religion_RELIGIONNAME_negative.tga
    pip_religion_RELIGIONNAME.tga

    My suggestions for how they could look (suggestions for the remaining ones needed):

    Catholics - use RTWBI Christian symbol (cross)
    Orthodox - use golden cross
    Judaism - david's star
    Sunni Islam - ? moon?
    Shia Islam - ? crescent moon?
    Steppe paganism - ?
    Viking paganism/Asatrú - thor's hammer

    - all "RELIGIONNAME.tga" symbols should be in color
    - all "RELIGIONNAME_positive.tga" symbols should be in color, imo same as the "RELIGIONNAME.tga" symbols
    - all "RELIGIONNAME_negative.tga" symbols should be in red
    (my opinion, not a necessity )

    keep in mind the symbols are so small that any detailed symbols won't be possible to use.

    Does Steppe Paganism include the religion of Great Moravia? If so, I think a "quadrifrons" (with three visible faces) statue of Svantevit would do.

    Sunni and Shi'a I would just give crescent moons in different colours. Green and Black?

    Steppe may or may not include Great Moravia, not sure yet. I like your other suggestions, but what is a quadrifons? Also the symbols are so tiny that very few ideas are possible, it mustn't be a too detailed symbol because it'll be impossible to see with the in-game sizing.

    A quadrifrons has four heads. In this case it would basically be two mirrorred profiles and possibly a frontal face in the middle, like this:
    <^O_O^>

    Or this:


    It's probably not something you can make that small. And it is Slavic. I don't know the first thing about other kinds of steppe paganism.

    An animal head or something like that might be a good symbol, but I don't know which animal head would be appropriate, if one is at all.
