Designed Visual Information - Symbolic
Symbol of the Protoss alien race for the hit computer game StarCraft II.
The above form signifies for thousands of players the advanced alien life forms, the Protoss. The shape itself embodies concepts that hark to consistent motifs founds in Protoss artifacts, from golden clothing to building structure, to the lore of their ancient tribal ancestors who held high regard for life energy. Notably, the shape is not of any discernible item or the like, but borrows from the grace and perfectionism denoted in the Protoss themselves. Like many symbols, recognition relies on a required knowledge of the subject matter, and is only instantly recognizable to those who know that the ball of lightning means unobstructed energy, and the golden structure around it shows the structure that comes of it, a technology exclusive to the Protoss.
