Redline Map Markers
===================

12 cyberpunk map markers and world indicators for dark interfaces — blood
black with warning amber accents. SVG plus transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x.

Redline Map Markers is a set of 12 map markers and world indicators drawn in
the cyberpunk style, where every frame has its own asymmetric outline — a
notch on one corner, a rail down one edge. It contains five map pins — plain,
quest, shop, danger and home, waypoint chevrons, a player facing arrow, a
route node and a compass tick, an objective ring, ping rings and an area of
effect.

Interface kits cover the edges of the screen. These sit in the middle of it,
on top of the game, where the kit has no idea what is underneath — grass,
snow, night. A marker that relies on a background to read against will
disappear over half of your levels.

The silhouette is composed rather than scaled: each of the four corners and
four edges takes its own treatment, so no two frames in the set share an
outline. The neon glow is a stack of strokes at falling opacity, not a blur
filter — a filter is applied differently by some SVG rasterisers and turns the
halo into a smear at 4x.

Inside that style this is the Redline reading of it: a dark interface on a
blood black palette with warning amber accents, built around a single bordered
frame, chamfered buttons at 140x36, hollow-cored bars divided into 10
segments, and two-tone icons on a 32px grid. Those measurements are why two
families can share an art style without being interchangeable: the style
decides how an edge is drawn, the numbers decide what the interface is for.

Every marker carries its own outline and a single-colour body, so the
silhouette does the work rather than the fill. The anchor is named in each
sprite title and it is not the centre: a pin points at its target with the
tip, so its anchor is bottom centre, while a ring and a facing arrow anchor at
the middle. Placing a pin by its centre puts it half a pin above whatever it
was meant to mark. The area and objective rings are dashed rather than solid
because they describe a region rather than an edge — a solid ring reads as a
wall.

Every sprite ships as an editable SVG and as transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x,
so you can drop the PNGs straight into an engine or open the vector and change
a colour. Built to the same measurements as the rest of the Redline family,
which means this kit and the Redline panel kit line up without either being
resized. A good fit for cyberpunk, sci-fi and near-future interfaces.

HOW TO USE

  - Anchor each sprite by the point named in its title: bottom centre for
    pins, centre for rings and the facing arrow.
  - Keep markers at a fixed screen size rather than scaling them with
    distance; a pin that shrinks with the world stops being readable at
    exactly the distance you needed it.
  - Use the ping rings as three frames of one animation — draw them outward
    and fade — rather than as three separate markers.
  - Tint the pin body per faction but leave the outline alone; the outline is
    what keeps the marker readable over an unknown background.
