Elementum design system
Inspired by ancient symbolism, the main symbol represents the classical elements; Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. There are four symbolic mystical ‘entities’ contained within the symbol, each depict a character / creature.
Viewed individually, each sub-symbol reveals two abstract visual cues; a semantic symbol, and the character’s form. Example, Earth: symbol = flora, character = Tree Giant.
