Excellent, more entries.
Keep them coming.

Well, here's my modest contribution, quickly done and brazilian-friendly .

Hum, with more contrast and "shiny gold" maybe.

That's a nice one Ilanthar. Confused though, what makes it brazilian-friendly? What does that mean?

Seen here the badges i made look a bit different from photoshop and did not totaly like them so much, so I changed the contrast and those are the results, a lot of blue sea !!

Gold lands and framework are more visible this way !!

The graticules show better but I'm not as much a fan of the blue.
Golden globe/golden compass. But others may feel differently.

Thanks to a fabulous suggestion by Azelor, I think I've been able to combine the prettiest aspects of the original with much better visibility at small size.

That looks great Chick. Definitely reads well small.

Hey everyone! After seeing the awesome pieces that everyone has submitted I thought that I should go ahead and post my idea. My concept is that as cartographers we have a lot of power, it might seem insignificant but I think it's amazing. We get to create worlds that become the image that people think of when they're exploring a new world, whether in a book or game or other. It's similar to being a writer but we convey our story through a picture. So in a way we hold the world in our hands.

Glad you joined in Domino. The globe looks great.
I like the hand holding it and your concept. I agree with that sentiment.
It also made me think of a light bulb, an idea bulb like inspiration, which of course works well too.
