Wargame Standards
Considerations for the standards
Each standard should differ in the following points:
- Colour of the animal
- The animal
- Shape of the standard
- Epoch of the animal
- Location of the animal depicted
Two backgrounds should match to symbolise the affiliation of two groups to each other.
- The names of the animals should be easy to call out in German and English.
- The names of the animal colours should be easy to call out in German and English.
- The resulting animal names should be easy to call out.
- The name of the colour red is not used as it can easily be confused with dead.
- The colours should be easy to distinguish for people with colour blindness.
- The colours should have a good black/white contrast on the flag so that they are also easily perceived in the peri ferry view.
- They should be colours that were also used in the Viking Age.
- The animals should be identified with strength today and in the past.
- They should be standard shapes from the Viking Age.
- The standard shapes should be clearly different so that they can be easily distinguished even at a great distance.
- They should be animal symbols that were used in the Viking Age. (Not successful)
- The standards should look good so that the groups can easily identify with them.
Furthermore
- the standards should be large enough to be easily recognisable
- have a tunnel so that they can be placed on a spear.
