Simple art Suggestions

[First of the Tide He/him]

Im making a huge truncated dodecahedron, and want to decorate with cosmere, but I cannot paint for crap. Any ideas for simple iconography that represents the cosmere? There are 12 decagonal faces and 30 triangle faces. I'd rather not do anything that is rendered wrong by upcoming cosmere, else I'd just do some spore colors. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Glyphs of some kind for Roshar would be cool

Especially the Bridge 4 glyphs

The double eye of the almighty or the different symbols for the mistborn metals. You could also do simple flowers to represent nalthis or aons for elantris.

those were on the top of my mind, but there's 12 prominent faces, and nothing that's released really comes in twelves. I might could do one planet/ face, but I don't think there's that many?

thanks for the input though

There's the Bridge 4 glyphs, Kaladin's brand glyphs, the Kholin glyphs...those are the ones that first come to mind

yeah but which 12? I want to do that butt it feels terrible to cut out 4 what Gets cut?

P.S. Dont  you dare say Nicrosil

thanks for the input. this is my leading option rn, I just don't know which to omit

I also thought maybe 16 shards, but leave splintered ones on the small faces, which are split up. but I don't know how I'd draw that though.

Shards would be good, but you could do the Era 1 12

Base 10, Malatium and Electrum

I think I'm gonna go with @Ookla the Kansan's Idea, but I'm gonna do the 10 radiant glyphs + Roshar + Almighty. Not sure what I'm gonna do for the 30 corners yet, if y'all still have ideas.
