I need an idea

[Argentin]

I'm making a card game and there are 3 different monster types
meller
flying
and ranged

I need to make a small symbol for each class to put in the cards corner so the player will know the monster's class

I made the melee and fly symbols but I don't know what symbol to do for the ranged class
can you give me an idea?
(the symbols are in the bottom right corner)

How about a crosshair?

[Argentin]

I did that but it doesn't look that good

[RadioactiveRabies]

Bow and arrow?

[Argentin]

It still doesn't look right

[RadioactiveRabies]

try looking at the paladin game skill icons, maybe one of the ranged spell icons could trigger an idea?

[LobsterJohnson]

I think maybe the positioning is off.Maybe try it in the top left corner?That little nook you have cut off the corner of the picture.

Second that..

Make the cards a little bigger, then put that symbol on the newly created area at the bottom.

You could also put a bold "RANGED" in some strong font.

Sorry for the double post.

I just played around with you card on photoshop, and I would say that the best area to put the symbol, is the top left corner along with some text.

I've tried "RANGED O" (O being a crosshair), and it looked really good.

I thought making the cards bigger too and now that you told me to do it too I'll do it
I also thought of writing the monster type somewhere on the card but a visual symbol is much more effective then a written text
With just a quick glimpse you can see whether it's melee or ranged instead of having to read it :D

And I also tried putting the symbol up in the top left corner but since the card's top is so darkened the symbol is harder to see....

So I guess I'll just make the card a little bigger and leave the symbol where it is

And as for the ranged symbol I'll either use a Target or 2 arrows in an X shape
I'll do it tomorrow and show you guys how it looks like

Ok I made the card a little bigger and made a bullseye symbol for the ranged class
Thanks a lot for your help guy
