    What icon should the new jobs have?

    So it goes without saying that any new jobs added will need an icon to distinguish them from their peers. But what should any new jobs have as their icon, their face for XIV. Currently we have,

    Paladin: Shield
    Warrior: Axe Head
    Dark Knight: I dunno, a star shaped thing? DARKNESS!
    Monk: Claw Scratches
    Dragoon: Dragon Head
    Ninja: Shuriken
    Bard: Harp
    Machinist: Gun
    Summoner: Summoner's Horn
    Black Mage: Meteor
    White Mage: Cane
    Scholar: Glasses
    Astrologian: Cards

    But what about any potential new jobs. I gusss we can start with the 3 top contenders and work from there. Samurai, Red Mage, Dancer. Here are my thoughts

    Red Mage: Hat with a Feather
    Samurai: Helm
    Dancer: Fan or Ribbon

    What are everyones elses thoughts?

    I like helping people with their Job ideas, it's fun to help them visuallize and create the job they'd like to play most. Plus I make my own too, I'll post them eventually.

    I was actually thinking of a sword, in scabbard, resting against the outline of a shoulder or against the outline of a robe for Samurai, at least if we get a dressed-down DPS version rather than a tank. Red Mage does seem a given, though I can't help but wish there was a pure physical Fencer class sourcing it that could remain viable even at endgame, in which case the Fencer would likely carry a rapier and the Red Mage might instead be a rapier across a staff.

    I think it's supposed to hearken back to a bit of their flavor text. That "Their Greatswords are as beacons to light the way for the downtrodden" or something to that effect.

    See something familiar?

    This is what I think off when I see the DRK symbol.
