Terran units are relatively un-touched, so feel free to be creative xD

To begin, assume the following roles:

[for those who are impatient, u can skip here]_________
In your alter reality, you ride your favorite ride (Either a mutalisk, a wraith, a scout, or maybe a scourge or w/e) to a fantastic planet. On this planet, there are many different continents, each features a different tile set. There are a hot smoking continent of ashworld, the northern snow world tundras, the southern serene jungles and such...
You got off your ride and looked into the sky, and you see others are comming as well. One after another, the others touched down in their favorite rides and came to you.
Then there's a problem... You find out that neither of you can speak in a common language:
The ones who rode the zergs can only grunt and make oozy zergie sounds, the ones who rode the protoss can only visualize and see sounds, but not vocally, and the poor chaps from Earth can only speak english, the worst of all languages. To make matter worse, a poor chap who hitched a ride on the arbitor can only speak backwards... Each one jabberes at each other, talking animatingly in its own language
P: Entaro Adun, Kasirrah axexirlora ameniar?
Z: GoooKekek Gahah Larhahrrrrull~
T: Wtf are you guys talking about >_<
How will you comunicate?
Drawing upon all your past experiences, you concluded that visual symbols of a written language is the only way to go, for even the mytopia drones have eyeballs...
[Stop skipping here]------------------------

Your task:
1. Think deeply and draw symbols that would best visualize the common starcraft vocabulary (For instance, "Zergling", "Marine", "Flank", "Victory" etc). Since all people that inhabit this planet are avid starcraft nerds, they are only interested in talking about starcraft and nothing else.

Requirements:
To keep the consistency, all symbols should be drawn in MSpaint, with 32x32 pixels, using the "Brush" tool. The symbol must be black and white contour lines with no shadings, as it is used mainly for a language and not art.
Symbols should be explicit and clearly understood.

With all that said, we can make a new language for SC and maybe even print them out and tape it on your keyboard as letters ^_^. Even write an entire battle reports with those runes.

Anyhow happy drawing
