Stylized LetterEmblems

Something common in super hero motifs are chest emblems that are just a single letter usually of the hero's name. So super man or Robin come to mind right off the bat.



We already have letters for chest emblems, but they fall a bit flat. I think a more stylized version would be easy enough to implement and quite versatile.

    Emblems in general need a massive update and more costume sources to be used at

    Are you crazy? Do you think this is a superhero game or something?

    It would probably be a big undertaking but I'd love if alphanumeric emblems have several fonts to choose from, something more than just comic sans

    also it could be nice if they sat a little lower on the chest so you could use them to make personalize tank-tops without them spilling over onto the chest

    chess pieces would also make good emblems

    smaller emblems, with a placement on the upper right breast, would also be cool.......

    But yeah, I'd throw my wallet at the screen if they brought out an emblems pack with a whole load of new emblems. Especially if they fixed the colouring issue on emblems that makes them slightly darker. That way I could match them up to tights colours better........ right now this issue damages the appeal of using these emblems.

    I agree that Comic Sans isn't really a very heroic font. I'd love to just have a selection of 3-4 other fonts. It's not like we need all the fonts that a word document has.

    They have a thing about emblems...like you’ll literally never see any back emblems for whatever reason.

    Probably some reason like it should have never been a section....ya know...like ears

    Isn't it called that because it's used for actual comic books?

    Comic Sans isn't used for comic books. Traditionally, they were hand-lettered by an artist who specialized in customizing scripts for each comic, in a variety of styles.

    Now that digital lettering is now more widespread, letterers use specialised custom fonts made specifically for their industry. There’s no one font, there are dozens. For examples, check out http://www.blambot.com/

    Comic Sans was released in 1994 by Microsoft Corporation. It is a casual, non-connecting script *inspired by* traditional comic book lettering, intended for use in informal documents and children's materials. It wasn't made for comics.

    Comic book artist Dave Gibbons, whose work was one of the inspirations for the font, said that it was "a shame they couldn't have used just the original font, because [Comic Sans] is a real mess".

    It's a knock-off comic book font.

    With all that being said, comic sans has even less of a place for emblems and insignias in comic books. That's the job of the artist, not the letterer. Not to disparage comic book letterers though, it's an important and integral part of any comic, and most of them are true artists.

    Yes. yes, and yes. You know from a guy that used to require emblems as lottery themes, of course I'd love this.
