@Riot: Did the cloud and ocean drake symbols get swapped during development? Hurting clarity.

Cloud Drake symbol: What looks like blue waves Ocean Drake symbol: What looks like a green wisp

It was extremely confusing when they first got released, since the Ocean symbol reads as Air, and the Cloud symbol reads as Water.

I'm more concerned on why air is blue and water green.

I do get that the ocean drake is green, but then if that's the case, shouldn't air symbol be white if the cloud drake is white?

No, just they changed the air symbol from a feather to 'waves'/gusts of air and they swapped the colors since the in game water is on the greener side. Honestly, it gets me too, the feather symbol was fine.

The colors are what really get me. I can deal with them using some unusual symbols, but when the colors are swapped from almost every traditional element system (which puts water as blue and wind as green), it defies expectations in a bad way. If they wanted to make water more green, then they should at least make wind something less watery, like white or violet.

To everyone in this thread who thinks cloud drake should have a white symbol: Elder Dragon's symbol is white.

I feel like the cloud symbol is meant to look like wings.

Can't we just have the water dragon's insignia redesigned to that of a water droplet, it'll be easier to tell irregardless of its appearance/color by then.
