Gamebox icons for all!

Hi Åke here, if anyone need gamebox icons for age, playtime and number of players as vector graphics (svg), we’ve made ours freely available here!

The icons, simple but functional

While doing the layout for the Perilous Pond box we ran into some issues with the Open Source icons we were using. The format they were distributed varied and we couldn’t find all of them in vector format. To make all the icons usable we had to re-create them in Inkscape as svg’s. The icons were not just traced/converted but improved to make it easier to use in a printed product by separating the entire black areas from the white areas so overprint can be applied without issues.

The original icons were licensed under the very permissive CC0 license, and we’ve kept that license since it’s very hassle free and allows creators to use the images in any way they like without any considerations. But! we’ve created a github-repository for them so if any of you would like to improve on the design, correct some errors or discuss them there is a place for it.

We hope these will be of use to someone 🙂
