I was looking at the squadron logos in my campaign (Procyon Insurgency) today and decided that they did not look too great and needed some work. I have become slightly more experienced with 2D graphics since the original ones were designed, so I decided to fire up PSP and try remaking them.

The first two were drawn from scratch, but I pretty much used the same concepts as in the old ones. The third one was completely redesigned, as I was not satisfied with the original at all. The green backgrounds, of course, show up as transparent in the game. Also, note that these are all Vasudan squadrons.

(the ones on the left are the old logos; the others are the newer versions)

92nd Squadron:
               

161st Squadron:
               

228th Squadron:
               

Which ones do you guys think are better? The old or new ones? Any suggestions?

The first one...with the 92nd on it.  That needs a little something.  Try a border...keep the raised surface.  Try and blur or blend the texture.

yea I was thinking about adding some kind of border on as well. (although you can't really tell in the game) I'm going to play around with that a bit and see if I can come up with something.
