Encantadia 2016 Project: Title Card and other graphic elements
Years passed and there were plenty of talks of Encanadia getting its sequel. The first one was way back 2009 which was about the rise of a second exiled or cursed "bathala" or god, called Arde, seeking revenge for his beloved Ether following the events of Encantadia 2006. I've already completed the world building including characters and creatures, but the project was shelved. Another was in 2013, which was fated not to push through until finally in December of 2015, I received a facebook message from the director saying, "Guess, what.. We are on and we are doing a reboot and more."
The first pass for the TV show's tile card which features original fonts and a traditional looking map
Fifth pass
The most basic and scientific symbol for fire or heat is the triangle and the most familiar graphic art representation is with in the triangular space.
I think that the shape of the gem should carry a familiar characteristic that would identify with the air element. I figured that the paradigm should come from a powerful image. I think a twister or tornado is powerful enough.
The most under estimated element deserves a paradigm that is equally under estimated. The image of a ripple.
Since the Earth element in the TV series represents the soil and all things living, the shape of a seed or a shape close to it is appropriate.
The N'chan Syllabic Script for Encantadia
Making the scripts translatable wasn't required, but I went at it anyway since I thought it would be cool to have one that is functional and can be used creatively not only through out the project by the production but also by everybody.
The Hathorian Symbol features a rested dragon
The Lireo symbol features a silhouette of a pixie
The Sapiro emblem features a head of a bull-like animal
The Adamya emblem features a water deity.
