Magic Symbol Generator
A downloadable toy for Windows
Sometimes, you just need a quick way to generate a cryptic symbol.
I wanted to make a neat little app that could quickly and easily create a bunch of uniform, but well designed emblems somewhere between an alchemic symbol and a magic circle.
Can be used to generate images randomly, but also includes some light editing tools for those of you who like a more curated experience. There is a small, but surprisingly versatile variety of shapes to choose from, and options to change the fill and line weight of all shapes. Incredibly simple or relatively complex results can be achieved.
If you end up making some, I'd love to see them! You can link them here on itch.io or find me over on tumblr (@funwalker) and twitter (@funambulilst)!
Most importantly, just have fun!
[Edit: Oop, fixed it so that they put out .pngs instead of .tiffs]

(Also, for Mac and Linux users: If you still want to play around with it, you can open the source files in Processing 3.)
I've also uploaded the source files for the curious, but they're not annotated. (I'm working on that as well.)

This is awesome, and right in line with what I was looking for. I have a template in Nandeck, for a card game with non-specific magic in it. This would work perfect for the artwork for the cards, to have something unique on them.
Cool! Glad you like it! :)
That's basically what I made it for. 👍
I'll make some mock-up cards and post them to you.
