I'm not the most artistically inclined; I'm sure that other members here are much more talented than I.
Nevertheless I'll see if I can't throw something together and see if my idea is worth anything or not.
So I'll take a crack at it tomorrow... after exams.   >A<


This is the lettering you mentioned, right. Because if it is, I love it!

Spoiler: show

darn, spelled wrong! x3  but yes, that's the one ^-^
maybe a bit more stylized, like this:

Well, I already have an idea for the banner, I might have a sketch later this day.
I'm thinking something with horseshoes, saddlebags, and unicorns, likely silhouettes of the head only.

Oh, it would appear that I got some fancy title, Notable pony, now that's something that I had not expected to gain.
Thanks everypony, for this most brilliant thing.

I was thinking, since Travelers blessing is a old herd according to the backstory, the banner should have something to do with it, unicorns as you said. A really old banner since the founding of the herd.

look forward to seeing the sketch! I like something a bit rustic, less the thing asylum has and more the old traveller's map kind of thing, calligraphic ink on parchment stained by the dust of the road and rain, antique look and all

I shall look to it.
Likely I will not vector it for the reason to make it less detailed.
but the problem being that old banners are tall, this one have to be long surely, to be able to fit in the signature.

i can do real calligraphy, with the pen and all, if you want it on there.  In uncial too, if you like that font.

Umm, I do not know of the fonts, I'm afraid, and well, it's kinda hard to add something like that digitally, without having to resort to keeping the background cleanish, and then add it later with gimp or something.

the font that was mentioned earlier, in the spoiler.  And all right then, if you think so.  I would think maybe adjusting contrast and exposure and stuff, and using alpha to selection, and then crop, might work.  And idk if you vector, but if you want i can try in gimp.

Ahh that font, will have forgotten the name in an hour, I'm rather sure.
Well, I can vector, but I'm not the best at it, and might end up making a few slight changes to the font by accident.

well, if you're sure you don't need help.  Feel free to ask if you ever do!

Do you think a sort of "hand-inked" or "embroidered" effect would be good for the background, or a simple tapistry with ACTUAL shadows on it?  And raised gold leaf for the name?

Shall do, I might actually end needing the feedback anyway.
and well, if anything I want to keep to not too fancy, they are travellers, so I think the former might be what I look for. But what do I know about Calligraphy, I wish I could write fancy with a pen.

Exactly!

Pardon that I did not quote, but well, more rustic as you said.
Now I sound like somepony who have no idea of what I am doing, oh well.

I think I will end with making three things, a herd seal, a herd icon, and a banner.
The first one, small and only a silhouette of the icon, which will be a horseshoe with a unicorn in it and the herd's name written under it.
And the banner is more tricky, as it's kinda hard to make something look old and wide at the same.

Have the seal be the silhouette on a piece of wax!

And the icon/shield be like those medieval shields!

Banner, how about a faded, stained, slightly worn at the edges parchment with curled ends?

By the way, i noticed the other herds have ranks and titles and stuff, and i was wondering if we could try implementing them loosely here?

Trailmaster
The Watch
Guides
Scouts
Trailblazers
Trackers
Loremasters
Songmasters
Recruits

In some order?

Hmm. A horseshoe with a unicorn silhouette / cameo. That makes a lot of sense. Good one, there.

If I had anything to suggest, it would be that traveler's lanterns are cool, but then I'm just a Morrowind fan.

As far as titles go, would it not be best to figure out what the different roles are actually for first?
May you walk on warm sands.

I thought the titles were kind of obvious, but here's my idea:

Trailmaster - head of the herd
The Watch - fighters and tanks, main physical protection for travellers
Guides - know-it-all in terms of location.  Have the layout of the Everfree memorized, etc.
Scouts - fast fliers with stealth, scout out locations for dangers and also look for potential recruits
Trailblazers - scout out new locations, like the scout. Can be merged.
Trackers - search for lost ponies and items, seek out mobs, quests, etc.
Loremasters - know-it-all in terms of spells and abilities, buff and debuff experts, cc, etc
Songmasters - know-it-all in terms of stories and quests, roleplayers, etc
Recruits - new members who don't have a role yet
