Im kind of thinking the same thing, it has too much for a logo, anyway

Er... you realize that at 256 x 256 that's gonna look like a gray turd over a one-eyed skull with four somethings sprouting out its ears?

I agree with Venom. Too much detail for a squadron insignia, but it might work really well as a squadron coat of arms (the sort of thing you hang in the briefing room or the ready room).
This is a place where I would take a more stylized, 2d approach. Something, for example, that could be drawn on a ships hull.

It' like wow... no, i mean WOW!
And I'll ask this one again in the hopes...
In the FS2 opening movie you can see the squadron logo on the Herc. You know: the Burning Pheonix sitting on Earth surrounded by the GTA Coat of Arms.
Personally I think it is one of the best squad insignias alive. It just beams 'ELITENESS' of it.
Isn't anyone interested in making that one as beautifull as DeathAngel Logo?
-
Oh, that logo! Yeah. I thought it looked cool too.
But to do it in 3D....quite difficult.......
-
Yeh, don't do it in 3D. 3D rendered logos look like renders, and without a special filter lose that cool airbrushed look that the really good ones have. I did try making that one once, and actually did use a particle generator for the wings, but other than that, it's a rather simple composite and overdo in Photoshop. I think I lost the logo itself with the archive for the LB camapign, and if you look at some of the stuff I was doing back at that time, you'll see how little actual skill is involved (well, I guess I was pretty decent at Photoshop logos even then, after the whole E2150 clan thing which occurred before I came here and never bothered mention because it's really boring and has nothing to do with 3D, so never mind...)
And yes, I do know I was rambling on. That's why I never bother read my own posts. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Hey, Warlock, do you suppose you could whip me up a squad logo, just for fun? It's nothing too fancy, just a pair of human red eyes against a black disc (and whatever other cool embelishments you might want to throw in). I'm naming this squad the "91st Evil Eyes". I might use this logo for a mini-campaign I'm working on.
Let me know if you (or anyone else) is willing to volunteer for this. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Couldn't have said it better myself, but it's gotta be said, darn that's cool! That's like the best logo I've ever seen, but not convenient to stick on the side of the ship. Be a shame to lose all that detail. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Print it and stick it on. You never know, paper might be beam resistant but no one knew because they didnt try.

Capship: This is the GTD Atomic Bob, we've come under heavy fire! Sathanases are warping in all around!
Command: We're calling in support! Power up your emergency defences and hold the fort while they wait until you've been blown up to show up just a little too late! Who wrote this? That belongs in the actions script, not the dialogue script!
Capship: Engineering, this is it. Launch the documents!!
[huge cloud of paperwork spills out of ship and surrounds it]
Command: Support will be here any time now... who am I kidding? That stopped the invasion!
Capship: It's been nice knowing you, command. I think I'll stay and watch everything stop moving... yeah, really, who designed this campaign???

I'll toy round with it today and slap something up here for you ok? I'll do up a "poster" version as well as on ship version.

Its possible beams are totally ineffective against paper. Might have been some unknown property.

Those weren't ordinary documents! They were lawsuits!

Su,...here's a quick shot of the idea I'm toying with for ya.
Right now just working on something a bit more than red dots in space (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

And here we have Alpha One getting caught in the Sathanas forward beam. Not the particularly anguished expression.

yeah great (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
I would need squad logos too for the briefing anis, but I don't have the time and the skills to do them. Oh well (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)
-
Venom,..if you give me a squad list I'll see what I can do. Since I've got ALOT of time on my hands might as well.
-
The lazy man's guide to animated squad logos:
1. connect to Internet, bring up browser
2. Look for theme of squad (i.e. "explosion" "fighter" "hot raging mammas"
3. Spend all of 15 minutes looking at various fanpages, nerds' personal sites, etc. for GIF or QuickTime movie
4. Steal. If necessary, touch up (add squad #, etc.)
5. convert to .ani
Takes a little longer than making your own, but hey... if ya don't wanna make something, the internet is where you go. This has so far worked in about 2 cases for me, and I only rarely use other peoples' stuff because it is invariably not as good as mine.

That would be neat, but for now, apart from the Top squadron, I don't have think about squadrons yet. Mmh, something to talk about in the private forum (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
-
I wonder why no one use's the 181st. Its famous in the Star Wars Books.
-
Probably did, made an abysmal campaign, and it died with the campaign.
