Aqua Card Frames

Aqua Card Frames is a set of 11 card, currency and notification components drawn in the cartoon style, where a heavy clean outline wraps a glossy face with a single sparkle. It contains four rarity card frames, three currency counters, a notification badge and three toast banners.

Rarity is almost always encoded as a border colour, which fails twice: it disappears in greyscale, and it competes with the item art, which is itself coloured. This set encodes rarity as structure instead.

The gloss is a hard-edged split at 44% of the height, not a smooth gradient: a soft fade reads as glass, a hard split reads as drawn. The offset drop shadow is solid rather than blurred for the same reason.

Inside that style this is the Aqua reading of it: a dark interface on a deep teal palette with ice blue accents, built around a single bordered frame, square-cornered buttons at 128x40, glossy bars divided into 10 segments, and outlined icons on a 24px grid. Those measurements are why two families can share an art style without being interchangeable: the style decides how an edge is drawn, the numbers decide what the interface is for.

Each tier adds a countable feature — common has none, rare adds two corner brackets, epic adds an inner rule and four brackets, legendary adds a crown band. You can tell them apart at thumbnail size, in a screenshot, and with the colour removed. The toast banners keep colour to a 6px edge stripe so the message text sits at the same contrast in all three tones.

Every sprite ships as an editable SVG and as transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x, so you can drop the PNGs straight into an engine or open the vector and change a colour. Built to the same measurements as the rest of the Aqua family, which means this kit and the Aqua panel kit line up without either being resized. A good fit for anime and cartoon games.
