Get Inspired
Not sure where to start? Here are some ideas to get your creative clutch power flowing:
- Retro Arcade: Craft a sign that looks like it belongs in a 1980s arcade, complete with pixel art and neon flare.
- Speed Runner: Design a high-energy sign with elements like golden rings, loops, and a sense of motion. Think about incorporating bold colors and a sense of speed into your build.
- Fantasy Quest: Use elements like wands, shields, and magical creatures to hint at your favorite RPG adventures.
- Battle Royale: Create an action-packed sign inspired by a game field filled with supply drops, high terrain, and tactical opportunities. Use bright colors, creative structures, and dynamic scenes to capture that intense, competitive spirit.
- Space Odyssey: Create a sign that looks like it's from a futuristic spaceship, using sleek lines and metallic colors.
- Block World: Design a sign that looks like it’s been built from colorful, blocky elements, featuring familiar landscapes such as grassy plains, pixelated trees, and maybe even a few blocky creatures. This concept is perfect for a playful and interactive feel.
- Nature Retreat: Design a BRB sign that incorporates natural elements like trees, waterfalls, and wildlife for a calming AFK break.
Add some more flair to get fans inspired by their favorite game.
