Similar to how it was done with the "potions" series, in order to distinguish between them - maybe a small unobtrusive symbol in one corner, or a watermark style symbol overlaid on the image.

I still have some trouble distinguishing between Divinity/Sacrifice/Void when they come up in spins.

Sacrifice is Purple. Void is Black with a blue background. Divinity is white with a light greyish background.

IMHO, I dislike this suggestion because it ruins the Shards' theme of being "Other" (any Elemental can use them) vs. Alchemy's "Element=specific" theme ('potions', which are specific to an element.) I also feel it kind of detracts from the simple design when it's easy enough to tell from the color of the shard/background (Readiness/Time=Yellow, Gratitude/Life=Green,Sacrifice/Death=Purple, Void/Darkness=Black, Divinity/Light=White/Silver, Patience/Water=Blue) and if you managed to win it on the spin or not, unless you're playing in very dim light.

I agree with Z. I'm sure with time you'll know them as well as you know your favorite element.

maybe he's thinking of actually making the shards cost quanta of the type?  :)

I think they're well enough color coordinated. Would you appreciate the fact that having a certain element in the corner just wouldn't look right?

Nah. Having a symbol on it implies that it is almost exclusive to one element like the alchemy spells. And besides, the color that each one gives off is already a big clue on what element it belongs to.
Divinity is white, Sacrifice is grey/purple, and void is black. Just like :light, :death, and :darkness
