The Windenburg oldtown hood symbol

Anyone feel like analyzing/explaining the hood symbol for Windenburg's Oldtown?

    I'll go with this
    if not I have absolutely no idea what it is

    oh wait maybe its the clock tower thing?
    but then why not just use actual clock...
    yeah still no idea maybe its trying to picture town square or something
  • I've never seen it before this thread --- unless it just didn't register with me.
  • idk looks like a long headed, one eyed SimBot/Servo to me lol but that doesn't meld with the neighborhood's name.
  • Thanks for your awesome input! Hmmm... great ideas but nobody knows for sure?

    I found this icon rather different from all the other hood icons, because normally they are quite obvious like animal, bridge or tower. The other icons in Windenburg are a mix, while the countryside hood has windmills, the modern harbor area has another cryptic icon looking like a portal, but I assume it is a reference to one of the sculptures... Oldtown is still in the mist, though... would expect something "old" or a bit of the fortress etc. My first impression was one of these security instalments where you would use a card to pass, but that would not make sense, lol.

    @GalacticGal these symbols can be seen on the world map only. They are round - in this case I added the blue background for reasons within my kingdom...

    @Gordy I so wish you were right! Windenburg's oldtown would be the perfect habitat for dragons!

  • Ahhh - could it be a canon pointing at us? The center circle is the canon ball ??? The two thin fields left and right are the wheels?

    In my game's history there was a terrifying attack in those days long gone, I thought I made it up but perhaps I based that story on something I read about canons destroying the oldtown and old fortress?
