Description
I've seen some ideas of SCP Class icons floating around that were based on the Foundation's logo in general, and wanted to create my own variants of the five main containment levels.EDIT: Changed the Apollyon icon, seeing as I felt it was just too empty. It still carries the connotation of no longer being within a "box." Image is now larger, too. If for whatever reasons, you would like one of this icons at a larger size, contact me and we'll talk. If you use these for whatever reasons, be sure to credit me for them. Thanks!
EDIT 2: Added Explained and Neutralized.
EDIT 3: 3/28/2024 - Holy crap! These were featured in the first episode of "There Is No Antimemetics Division" over on YouTube! (www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-IiVe… ) Go check it out! I feel so honored!
Safe is obviously based on the fact that this type of SCP can be firmly locked away and is fine to be left alone.
Euclid is based on the idea that the classification is amorphous, and needs to meet certain criteria to be contained.
Keter is based on the idea that there is a high possibility of breaches. I based the idea off of the top of the Sephiroth, as well as a general shape of a "crown" (Keter meaning crown.) I chose to use the top three tiers as a basis, Keter (Crown), Chochmah (Wisdom), and Binah (Understanding).
Thamuiel is the inverse of Keter, and can contain it. It is the shadow of Keter in the Tree of Life, so the top three tiers are Thaumiel (Duality (of God)), Chaigidel (Confusion of the Power (of God)), and Sathariel (Concealment (of God)). I imagined the "crown" as a three-dimensional shape, and this is the inverse of the icon for Keter.
Apollyon is based on the idea that there is no containment whatsoever of this class of SCP, thus there is nothing to stop it, the icon's "boundary" is now missing. Apollyon is known as "The Destroyer," and it is sometimes linked to the idea of Satan, so why not use an inverted pentagram to represent that?
I'm curious to see what others think of these as symbolism, so comment your thoughts!
By request, here are the icons individually:
SCP Class: Safe • SCP Class: Euclid • SCP Class: Keter • SCP Class: Thaumiel • SCP Class: Apollyon
SCP Class: Explained • SCP Class: Neutralized
If you use these, please give me credit, and if possible, I'd like to see what you've used them in!

Hey There, I love what you have done. I was wondering if I could get a more HD Copy to use for a Minecraft SCP Modpack Please? Thanks!

What size would you need them in?

Sorry for the late response, I was wondering if I could get them at 2048x2048? Thanks!

Not at that size, no. That's overkill, even for a HD texture, and especially for a supposed Minecraft texture map. Sorry, I don't feel comfortable with releasing them at that size.

These are awesome. If it's okay, I plan on using these in something I'm working on for scp, crediting you of course. When it's finished, I'll share it with you if you'd like. Keep up the great work!

Greetings! I am ThePencilwriter, one of the Administrators of the German SCP-Wiki. According to one of our writing-projects (A book - The SCP Foundation in Germany), I would like to ask if we can use your art, the visualization of the safe, euclid, keter, thaumiel and apollyon class in our book. Of cause we will give you credit in the credits of the book. Of cause we will translate the classes into german for the book. Would be awesome if you allow us to use your picture!

Sure! Would you like larger versions of them to use for printing? I wished I could afford a copy, I'd love to have that on my shelf, even if I don't exactly understand German, it'd be neat to know that my work was published in a book.

Greetings again,
Thank you a lot! The size is no problem for us, the quality won't take any damages in the paperback version of the book. As soon we are finished and started printing, I'll contact you. When I am contacting you again, there is more information for getting your own copy

Those are really good! They're not too complex, nor too simple, the symbolism is nice, and it'd definitly fit the SCP Foundation's style. Really well made, cheers!
The only thing small problem I've got with these is Apollyon's pentagram: Since it's already a symbol of something else (Satan and satanism or occult as a whole), I'd suggest you use something else but related to the usual pentagram, such as an enneagram (9 pointed star). Not only would it drop the religious connotation, but it would also fit more the SCP foundation logo's trimetric symmetry.
But other than that, everything's pretty fine! The Thaumiel icon's duality with Keter is a nice idea. Now, there's only Explained and Neutralised icons left to do.
I'd like to know what software(s) you used to make these. I plan to try my hand at a few SCP hazards signs: Cognitohazards, dangerously low or high Humes levels, etc.

Sorry for the late reply. Yeah, I may actually try using a enneagram and show it to you to see what you think. I know the wiki has recently suggested using a color system on top of the main three levels to show the severity of each, and figured I might change the inner circle to a different color depending on each. Apollyon's would be the only one without one seeing as it exists outside of those levels entirely. It's basically just "you're screwed, deal with it." I used Photoshop to create these myself using vector shapes, since you were curious.
