Jyhad/V:TES Logo

Greetings :) Does anyone happen to know the origins of the triskele style 3-snakes symbol that is used for Jyhad/Vampire:TES? Am interested in such things and wondered if anyone knew...? Does it have a name btw? Whilst on the subject of where things come from... I was wondering if anyone could inform me where the card 'protected resources' comes from? I have it listed in my Elder Library Database program (bows to David M. Davila) and I see it listed on trading/selling lists but I couldn't locate it in any of the card lists so was sort of curious as to what its origins are?

Protected Resources was released in the V:TES set along with Archon Investigation to help against the "Stealth Bleed" deck. It is argueably the rarest card in the game.

From an old press release: Backing A New Look Wizards of the Coast to Alter Card Backs in Vampire Game Renton, Wash. (April 26, 1995)-After reviewing customer comments, Wizards of the Coast, Inc. has decided to change all card backs in the newly named Vampire: The Eternal Struggle (V:TES) Deckmaster game. When the game - formerly titled Jyhad - debuts this summer, the cards will have the game's snake "biohazard" symbol and the new name on a green marble background. ... > Whilst on the subject of where things come from...

It is a card that was introduced in the unlimited release of the base game (It's in V:TES boosters and starters, but not in Jyhad boosters or starters). -- LSJ (vte...@wizards.com) V:TES Net.Rep for Wizards of the Coast.

Nope, but it looks very much like the symbol for the Kyriotates choir of angels in In Nomine. This is wholly unimportant, but sort of interesting. ;-) ________________________________________________________ Martin Ralya -- Prince of Ann Arbor -- sky...@umich.edu Visit the compleat VEKN clan newsletter archive on XILE: http://www2.crosswinds.net/~slacker666/vekn.html

This is wholly unimportant, but sort of interesting. ;-) It certainly has a similar style :) Had never heard of the game but went surfing for the names and found some inetersting info about the game. Looks interesting. Meanwhile will try and find out the name for the logo and whether WoTC designed it or whether it has older origins than that... >________________________________________________________ >Martin Ralya -- Prince of Ann Arbor -- sky...@umich.edu >Visit the compleat VEKN clan newsletter archive on XILE: > http://www2.crosswinds.net/~slacker666/vekn.html Simidh: V:EKN Prince Of Adelaide [ quoted text not captured ]
