Phalanx Logo
Neonin:
Ok, fiddled around with the main logo a little based on feedback. First we have the "better spearheads" asked for:
Then we have a "modernist" take on the spears with stylized slashes in the place of actual spears, which I like very much but only works on a dark background with those particular colours:
I've had one or two ideas for rank images that aren't based on the logo, so once I've had a go I'll post some images.
Crystan:
I really like the modern version. But if we going to replace the logo, we need a seperate texture of the slashes/spears for the intro sequence.
Neonin:
I wasn't trying to step on anyone's toes and suggest replacing the current logo, this was just meant as fan art... though I am flattered at the suggestion. The logo image file I work from consists of the following layers, from top to bottom:
1 - PHALANX name.
2 - Shield ring/circle.
3 - Shield drop shadow.
4 - Continents.
5 - Sea.
6 - Shield background.
7 - Green spear.
8 - Blue spear.
This means providing any individual element for people to play with is no problem at all :) While I work in GIMP, it can save as PSD so compatibility shouldn't be an issue.
Funnily enough, looking at that made me wonder what would happen if you eliminated the shield background so the continents and sea become semi-transparent, and I ended up with this which I quite like too:
Neonin:
And in a flurry of creativity today, based on the previous one with semi-transparent background, I've added rivets to the outer ring to try and make it more shield-like:
EDIT: Realised I unintentionally made the outer ring brighter with the addition of the rivets, so edited in a new version with the ring roughly the same brightness as before.
Neonin:
Taking on Kildor's comment about not having the rank images based on the logo design, I've been working with various ideas and played around with this for the six noncom ranks:
The slashes use a similar colour and style as the spears in the logo to keep a little continuity in design, and the bars are reminiscent of current military ranks from various countries.
The officer ranks are a bit more elaborate but this time use a duplicate of the shield ring to keep the continuity instead:
