Contest Brief

I'm currently working on a new board game which I need several game tokens and/or pieces. I'm looking for someone with more creativity than myself and hope that you can design something unique for the game. These pieces are relatively small but I would still like some good detail in the designs. The board game is a war game which uses 28mm miniatures and these miniatures are highly detailed. The tokens and pieces should be also. The game is played on a hexagonal grid 3 dimensional board. The pieces will be cast in plastic and will be poured as a single color. Multi-color designs are welcome but the final pieces will be a single color.

I've attached some simple drawings of the pieces. As you can see I really could use your creative skills.

The game pieces: (dimensions are provided only to give some idea as to size. Your illustration does not need to be to scale.)
1. A Peg (2mm diameter peg at base with minimum height of 15mm and maximum height of 25mm and maximum width at top of 8mm)
2. A Game Token (~15mm diameter and ~8mm deep)
3. A Move Marker (~20mm wide and ~25mm high and ~8mm deep) with stand
4. A Small Plaque (~50mm wide and ~25mm high and ~8mm deep) with stand

Requirements:
* Provide illustration design as a JPEG or PNG file.
* Design should include all four items in the same illustration.
* These game pieces need to look like they go together.
* You may theme the pieces such as Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Modern Military or Steampunk (or a generic design that goes with all of these genres).
* The Move Marker and Small Plaque should show front and rear designs
* The Move Marker and Small Plaque will need a place for numbers on one side of the piece.
* There is no logo at this time. If you feel the design needs a logo, please place "Logo Here" on the design.

If questions come in that would aid everyone, I'll be sure to post that information to the project description.

Thank you for your time and consideration for this project.

Hello, a couple of questions: what is the PEG used for? I mean, what is it its function? And also, do the tokens have to be hexagonal, or they can be of whatever basic shape? Thanks!

  The peg is used to track points. It get's placed in a stand that has many holes in it. As points are added, additional pegs are placed in the stand. Also, the tokens do not need to be hexagonal. I'm really looking for some options. If you have another shape in mind, I'm interested to see it. Thanks.

  FajkiOfficial, I like your idea for a centerless ring or hexagon for the Game Token. That's pretty cool. The Peg is also nice. However, I'm still looking for something unique for the Move Markers and Plaque. The ones you submitted are pretty much what I had on the sample sheet. If you have a unique idea or design, I'd love to see it. Thanks.

Hi, new here, but I'll try my best to help you... You mind me asking? I'm a game designer too, but I started out from being a traditional illustrator. So I know I might be able to help you sir.

here's my series of queries:
First, Is this game of yours needs to be animated? i mean, the entities in it, like a turning coin, or the same value. Or you just need something to be used as temporary entities for your game, cos I can create a series animation capable entities or you just need static ones?

  vjmallorca, No, the items are not going to be animated, they'll be static. Well, kind of static. There will be inserts for the different numbers. The piece will be static.
