====== Wargame Standards ======

===== Considerations for the standards =====

Each standard should differ in the following points:

  * Colour of the animal
  * The animal
  * Shape of the standard
  * Epoch of the animal
  * Location of the animal depicted

Two backgrounds should match to symbolise the affiliation of two groups to each other. 

  * The names of the animals should be easy to call out in German and English.
  * The names of the animal colours should be easy to call out in German and English.
  * The resulting animal names should be easy to call out.
  * The name of the colour red is not used as it can easily be confused with dead.
  * The colours should be easy to distinguish for people with colour blindness.
  * The colours should have a good black/white contrast on the flag so that they are also easily perceived in the peri ferry view.
  * They should be colours that were also used in the Viking Age.
  * The animals should be identified with strength today and in the past.
  * They should be standard shapes from the Viking Age.
  * The standard shapes should be clearly different so that they can be easily distinguished even at a great distance.
  * They should be animal symbols that were used in the Viking Age. (Not successful)
  * The standards should look good so that the groups can easily identify with them.


Furthermore 

  * the standards should be large enough to be easily recognisable 
  * have a tunnel so that they can be placed on a spear.
