Does anyone know of a Portal 2 indicator glyph (like the kind say, around Faith Plates) that would help identify a flip plate or an angular plate? I can't find one in the texture browser.

Or, (if someone wants to be totally awesome) could someone who's good at graphic design try their hand at making a indication glyph for the plates?

What image does valve use to represent it in the editor? Perhaps a version on that could be useful.

I like that idea. Would anyone be willing to try making this look like a legitimate P2 indicator glyph?

This is the one my friend Vanessa made for my mod (ofc it has the look of the rest of signage we have made... wouldn't fit too much in any of the actual Portal2 themes...):

It's not difficult to make yourself one drawing and follow up one of the numerous tutorials for converting the image to an usable texture for any source game... once you have the idea for that symbol, the rest is easy.

Yeah but Chosen One chronically likes asking other people to do all of his work for him.

I'd just grab the PTI png's, convert the background color to white, possibly go for a grey-tinted image and convert it to a usable texture. Shouldn't be too much of a hassle.
