Title: Imperial and New Republic Insignias
Post by: Viper Aviator on January 04, 2011, 11:29:42 AM
Hello All, Hangarbay94 thought that you fine people would enjoy the custom Imperial and New Republic insignias that I designed. However, they are too big to be posted here, so I have included the links to my thread at Resin Illuminati and my gallery at Deviant Art. Please feel free to use them any way would like to, and as always, any comments are more than welcome! ENJOY!!!!

could you do beige squadron please ?!
Title: Re: Imperial and New Republic Insignias
Post by: Viper Aviator on January 04, 2011, 02:49:24 PM
Sure I could do a Beige Squadron, just some questions though. What do they fly?, what era do they operate in?  As a follow-up to the last question, who is their allegiance with?

In the mean time, I just re-designed the "Triangle Type" flight patch/insignia for the Incom T-65C X-Wing, since I was never really happy with the first version. It can be viewed here: http://viperaviator.deviantart.com/gallery/26112649#/d36f9u5

With the proper back-round story I could definitely make insignias for figures and vehicles. The last ones that I did were for Hangarbay94 for his X-Wing Alliance Web-Series. They were the insignias for Rancor Squadron and, most recently, the flight insignias for his modified ARC-170 Intruder and E/ARC-170 Prowler. As for Clone Units and Legions, I never really considered it, but I would be willing to try. Thanks for the great compliment!

Thank you my friend, funny you should ask about a poster, I currently am working on a WIP called the Squadrons of the New Republic Navy. I'll post a link later on today when I get some-more of it finished. I plan on following up that one with Squadrons of the Galactic Imperial Navy, Ships of the Galactic Imperial Navy, Rank Devices of the New Republic Navy and Rank Devices of the Galactic Imperial Navy. As for Walker Units, stand-by I have some in the works right now that I should have posted by next week.

This is the insignia for Nomad Squadron, they are currently deployed in the F/A-88 B-Wing. Along with Twin-Suns Squadron and Blackmoon Squadron they are charged with the defense of the Hyperspace Routes in the Arkanis sector from any Imperial Remnant Forces and Space Pirates. The three squadrons are based on the Quasar-Fire Class Carrier Independence, with a home port and support facilities on the planet Tattooine, in the city of Mos Estrella.

Thanks Tamer, here's another new one for all of you fine people.

Here is the insignia for Crusaders Squadron. They currently deployed in the F/A-88 B-Wing and based in the Outer Rim Territories near the boarder to the Unknown Regions. It is rumored that the Crusaders along with the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet, successfully engaged and destroyed a preliminary first strike force of the Yuuzhan Vong prior to the start of the war. Both the New Republic and Chiss Governments will neither confirm or deny this rumor.

One other thing about Crusader Squadron, is that they are rumored to be all Mandalorians. If you look at the helmet that the Crusader is wearing, you could see that I purposely made it to look like like the helmet of the Mandalorian Supercommandos. (a little Easter Egg, LOL)

Here is the insignia for Hawkbat Squadron. The unit is currently deployed in the F/A-88 B-Wing. They are currently based at a classified location in the Outer Rim Territories. It is rumored that the Squadron is attached to the Office of New Republic Intelligence performing clandestine missions.

Since I did a 25th Anniversary insignia for the X-Wing, I thought that it would only be fare to do a 50th Anniversary insignia for the Y-Wing. The Aurabesh translates as from top to bottom 50 Years, BTL Series Y-Wing. ENJOY.

Viper Aviators Insignia of the Week...

(http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv191/hangarbay94/Imperial%20Shipyards%20Stuff/9thJanforumver.jpg)

Presented by Viper Aviator


This is the insignia for the New Republic Starfighter Command Heritage Flight. Heritage Flight was formed three years after the Battle of Endor in response to the general public wanting to know more about the fighters, fighter squadrons and the brave beings who fought and were often victorious against an overwhelmingly superior enemy. Heritage Flight was a P.R. and recruitment success for the New Republic in a way that no one could have predicted. Heritage Flight can be seen at numerous aerospace shows throughout the Galaxy, performing the maneuvers that the Rebels flew against the fighter forces of the former First Galactic Empire, as well as give detailed tours of the fighters that they operate with detailed histories and provide question and answer sessions.

Heritage Flight currently operates four ARC-170 Intruders, six Z-95 Headhunters, six BTL-A4 Y-Wings and 4 T-65C X-Wings.

A friend of mine told me that the Rebel Legion once did a run of patches for what they referred to as Starfighter Command. After someone complained about the design, the Rebel Legion dropped the design. My friend sent me a link to a discussion thread on the subject and I found a picture of the patch sewn on a leather flight jacket. I liked the design so much, that I decided to re-create it with some differences. Now instead of saying Rebel Legion Starfighter Command in English, it now reads New Republic Starfighter Command in Aurabesh. I also redid the center insignia and the representation of the "spiral" type galaxy found at the bottom. I have attached a link to the thread that explains the controversy over the original patch and the picture that I worked from.

http://www.rebellegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16836&sid=3b7b908f33375b17852c2178a4628d3d

I don't know who designed the original patch. If anyone out there does know who the designer was, please let me know so that I could give either him or her the proper credit that they deserve.

Here is the version that I did: http://viperaviator.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d36vbmb

this is gonna sound  cheeky but any chance we could see  army badges for the 292nd "SandWolves"  ,  224th "MudJumpers"   &  99th  Airbourne Assault Brigade "Death From Above"     and   if i may be so bold as to push my luck ...     the CW  Y-wing Squadron :  PoleAxe Squadron(red Y-wings )    ;D

Hey there wriathnine, I have some ideas in the works, I think you'll like them
Ah, VA, you are a victim of your own success!  In fact, I also have a request, for my 818th Feartroopers Squadron.  I have an insignia that Fiala did for me before, so I'd like to see if you could incorporate that in with it.  I love your work, so keep it coming!

Hi Phatty, I have some ideas for this project as well. I have no problem at all with incorporating Fiala's design as long as Fiala does not mind.

Wow, I just read some of the controversy over the patch. Being former military myself I would have considered anything like that a great compliment to my unit or division if I had seen someone customize it for Star Wars use. I think some folks either have way too much time on thier hands or spend way too much time trying to legitamize fun.

That being said, I love the new design and was thinking to myself some of these would just make excellent patches. Have you ever considered submitting some of your great unit designs into making patches? I could easily see myself having an entire jacket of these given the chance.

I would also like to apologize for myself for asking for an insignia for some type of ground walker unit. I am enjoying your work immensely and hope you see it as a compliment with no committment at all on your end. As someone so elegantly said earlier this week, you can't rush an artist and this is great art. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Hello all,

Please don't worry about the requests, they get me inspired to make these insignias, and I really enjoy doing them (it keeps me sane LOL). Just please be patient with me it might take a while to complete them. I still have some WIPs I'm currently in the process of finishing along with some commissions from Pocket Books. After I'm done with those items I'll begin working on the requests. Thank you for all of the kind words and support. This is one of the best groups that I belong to!

Hi Tammer, As it so happens, I'm working on a couple of "Walker" themed insignias right now. The first is going to represent the Imperial Armored Divisions and the second that I'm working on is for Blizzard Force on Hoth. I'm thinking about giving Blizzard Force the motto, "Freezing our Anoat's Off". Let me know what you think of the motto.

Hi Tammer,

I finished up a couple of Imperial Walker insignias, I thought you might get a kick out of them.

Here is the insignia for the Imperial Army's 3rd BGE, 1st INF Armored Division The Landkillers. Currently, The Landkillers are utilizing Kuat Drive Yards All Terrain Armored Transport (AT-AT) Mk.I.

http://viperaviator.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d370ur3

And the second:

This is the insignia utilized by the Imperial Army's Rothana Heavy Engineering All Terrain Scout Transport (AT-ST) Drivers and Gunners. This insignia is usually seen in a modified format with a banner on the bottom indicating the unit that the crews are assigned to.

Hi Tammer,

Here's another Walker insignia that you might like!

This is the insignia for the Imperial Army's 22 BDE 77th INF Blizzard Force. This was the Armored Division that led the assault on Echo Base on the planet Hoth in the Anoat System.

This is considered to be an unofficial insignia by the Imperial Army, it was designed by the Officers and Enlisted personnel assigned to the unit when Hoth was their permanent base of operations.

The Aurabesh translates from top to bottom as 22nd BDE 77th INF Blizzard Force, "Freezing Our Anoats Off"

Here is the insignia for the 24th IAG 82nd BDE. This is the Imperial Army Garrison and Brigade that was stationed at Bespin's Cloud City in the Anoat System when it was annexed and occupied by the Galactic Empire for harboring Rebel Fugitives after the Battle of Hoth.

Hello Guys and Girls,

While trying to get some inspiration for more insignias, a friend of mine who belongs to the 501st Legion passed along a link to me that includes a complete list of the fan made patches that the did for their Garrisons and Divisions, as well as a complete list of insignias and patches done by the Rebel Legion and other Star Wars fans. Take a look at the link, i don't think that you'll be disappointed.

Just finished up 2 more insignias

First Up is the insignia for Wolfpack Squadron. I was blackmailed into doing this insignia for my wife's Star Wars RPG group. According to the back-story, The Wolfpack was formed at the very beginning of the formation of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, originally flying Incom Z-95 Headhunters in front line combat operations. As more advanced fighters were aquired and more squadrons with these fighters were added to the Order of Battle, The Wolfpack was reassigned to the Moon of Folor as a Basic Flight Instruction Squadron, still operating their original Z-95 Headhunters. 10 years after the Battle of Endor, the Wolfpack was assigned to operate the brand new Feri-Tek T-72A E-Wing, and was re-designated as a front line combat squadron, seeing their first combat action at the Battle of Mon Calamari against the re-born Emperors World Devastators.

http://viperaviator.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d37k3yr

Second up is the insignia for Wampa Squadron, Like Wolfpack Squadron, I was blackmailed into doing this one for my wife's Star Wars RPG group. As of this time, their back-story is still being written, when it's finalized, I'll post it up here for all of you.

If you would like! Let's just say that my wife's Star Wars RPG group has a killer back-story concerning the Mandalorian Mercs during the Galactic Civil War, that just SCREAMS insignias. In the mean time, here's one for all of the Clone Wars fans out there.

Here is the insignia for the 4th BTN 88th RGT Air Assault DIV who operated the LAAT-i Assassin during the Clone Wars.

The Aurabesh translates as from top to bottom as LAAT-i Assassin, "Feet First, Into HELL!!!" and 4th BTN 88th RGT Air Assault DIV

ENJOY!

This is a little unusual as it's more a company crest rather than a military one. I need a logo design for Viraxo Industries for the X-Wing project I'm working on.

Here is a link to their information on Wookipedia http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Viraxo_Industries (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Viraxo_Industries)

and here is a link to the K'Armyn Viraxo, the boss of the organisation: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/K'armyn_Viraxo (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/K'armyn_Viraxo)

Never really thought about doing nose art, I've seen the one used in the Clone Wars animated series and thought they were pretty good but could use some improvement, let me see what I can come up with after doing a little research into it and talking to some of the bomber jocks on the base (the USAF is letting them paint nose art again, so long as it meets the current standards of decorum and is non-offensive)

Hello All,

I just wanted to give everyone a quick "heads up", I won't be posting images as frequently as I have been for at least the next 4 weeks. Myself and my Squadron are now in the process of transitioning from the F-16C Viper (please forget that "Fighting Falcon" crap LOL) to the new F-35A Lightning II. So that involves a lot of classroom time, simulator time and actual "stick" time. Once the transition operation is completed, and I get certified for the F-35A I will be back with some new and great ideas.

In the mean time, here is the latest insignia for fighter/attack fighter/spacecraft insignias. This one is for the Koensayer BTL-S8 K-Wing Thunderbolt. The design of the insignia was inspired from the current flight insignia for the A-10 Thunderbolt (AKA Wharthog) currently in use by the USAF. Any comments are, as always welcome!

Hey beige-4, it means that we are transitioning to a new fighter, that is more advanced than the current planes that we're flying right now. When you look at our current Vipers and the new Lightnings that we're going into, it's a whole new set of rules. I wish I could go into it further, but unfortunately, aside from mentioning the transition, all else is classified for right now.

Well, I got a couple of days off from training so I thought I would finish up a concept that I have been working on and off on.

Here is the insignia for the 501st Legion, 1st BN, 1st Infantry. The division was formed near the end on the Clone Wars and based on Courscant. One of their first missions was to assist Lord Darth Vader in carrying out Order 66 at the Jedi Temple. Since then, the 501st Legion 1st BN 1st INF has been detached to Lord Vader as his "personal" Infantry division under his direct command.

This insignia was adopted for the unit just after the formation of the 1st Galactic Empire and the formation of the Imperial Army, replacing the GAR at the end of the Clone Wars.

http://viperaviator.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d383860

After several unsuccessful attempts, I finally decided to utilize the distinctive blue helmet triangles seen in ROTS as the basis for the insignia, just like I did for the 501st Imperial Navy Fighter Group. The answer was staring me in the face this whole time and I never saw it until now DoH (LOL). Any comments are always welcome!

This insignia was inspired by Art-deWhill's very impressive painting of a Mandalorian Warrior. I did this based on the backround and armor that Art-deWhill utilized and the name (CloneSniper78) who commissioned the work.

So with that combination, I did the insignia for the Mandalorian Mercenaries Scout/Snipers. The Mandalorian translates as One Shot, One Kill.

Art-deWhill's work can be seen here, http://my.deviantart.com/messages/#/d397hpp

And here is the insignia, http://viperaviator.deviantart.com/art/Mandalorian-Scout-Sniper-Logo-196896628

Here is the insignia for Delta Squad, and this is the description of the unit:

Delta Squad was an elite clone commando squad that carried out demanding missions for the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Comprised of four clones of the Mandalorian bounty hunter, Jango Fett, Delta Squad included RC-1138, RC-1140, RC-1207, and RC-1262—informally known as "Boss", "Fixer", "Sev", and "Scorch", respectively. One of the twenty-five squads that comprised Arca Company of the Commando Group Zero Five Commando in the Grand Army's Special Operations Brigade, Delta Squad took their orders from the Director of Special Forces, Jedi General Arligan Zey, along with Zey's former Padawan, Bardan Jusik for the much of the war, and then from Jusik's replacement, Jedi Knight Etain Tur-Mukan. During several missions, the unit was also overseen in the field by clone advisor CC-01/425.
First deployed on Geonosis at the start of the Clone Wars, Delta Squad would go on play an instrumental role in the recapture of the RAS Prosecutor, as well as the rescue of fellow commando unit, Omega Squad. In conjunction with Omega, and working with two of the Null-class Advanced Recon Commandos under the direction of former Cuy'val Dar training sergeant Kal Skirata, Delta would take part in the shut down of a Separatist terror cell operating on Coruscant. The squad would be tasked with locating the Kaminoan defector Ko Sai, though their search would turn up nothing but the scientist's severed head. Delta Squad would again prove invaluable to the Republic in the lead up to the Battle of Kashyyyk, where they were able to rescue the Wookiee chieftain Tarfful from his Trandoshan slaver captors, defend Wookiee villages from Separatist battle droids, and even destroy a Recusant-class light destroyer. However, it was on Kashyyyk that Delta Squad would be forced to abandon one of their own, the commando known as Sev, when he came under fire and the squad received orders from Jedi Grand Master Yoda himself to immediately pull out. Delta Squad would go on to serve the newly-formed Galactic Empire as part of the 501st Legion's Imperial Commando Special Unit, where they were given a replacement for Sev, and tasked with hunting down Jedi who had escaped Order 66, along with clone deserters, Jedi sympathizers, and other Imperial dissidents.

This insignia was inspired from the United States Army's Delta Force insignia. ENJOY!!!!

Title: Re: Imperial and New Republic Insignias
Post by: Viper Aviator on February 16, 2011, 09:24:20 AM
Thanks Art, continuing with the Delta Squad story, I redid the insignia to reflect what it would look like when the unit became part of the Imperial Army after the end of the Clone Wars.

Here is the history:


"I hate this. And we've got some new guy taking Sev's place. It's temporary, though. He'd better understand that."
?Scorch, on his new life as an Imperial Commando.
Not long after the conclusion of Republic action on Kashyyyk and the issuing of Order 66, which branded the Jedi traitors to the Republic who were to be shot on sight, the Clone Wars would come to an end when the old Republic was transformed into the new Galactic Empire, under the leadership of the now Emperor Palpatine. Nearly eleven-hundred days after the Battle of Geonosis, the three remaining members of Delta Squad found themselves stationed at the Imperial Army Training Center on Centax-2, one of the moons of Coruscant and the location of the secret Spaarti cloning cylinder-based second clone army that Palpatine had created. There, they would continue to lament the loss of Sev, especially in the face of the revelation that although Omega Squad members Atin and Corr had deserted the Grand Army, Darman and Niner had joined Delta in the new Imperial Army because Darman had refused to leave a badly wounded Niner behind on his own.[

Three weeks after the formation of the new Empire, Delta Squad—with a new replacement for Sev among their ranks—gathered at the 501st Legion headquarters on Coruscant with a number of other former Republic commandos and Advanced Recon Commandos for an audience with Darth Vader. There, Vader reformed the Republic's former special forces soldiers as the Imperial Commando Special Unit, an elite unit within the Imperial 501st Legion that would be tasked with hunting down Jedi who managed to escape Order 66, along with clone deserters, Jedi sympathizers, and other Imperial dissidents. Their serial numbers' "RC" prefix replaced with an "IC" to denote their new position as Imperial Commandos, the squad would also find themselves given a different and more numerically-based name, similar to the former Omega Squad being deemed "Squad 40". Although initially under the command of the Emperor's Hand, Sa Cuis, the Imperial Commando Special Unit would be taken over by Imperial Commander Roly Melusar—a native of the planet Dromund Kaas and a man with a firm hatred of all Force-users—following Cuis' death. Though Fixer was impressed by Melusar's earnest style of command, it would be Melusar's zealous hate for the Jedi and all other beings who could wield the Force that would lead Scorch to tag Melusar with the nickname of "Holy Roly", a name that would in fact stick among the ranks of the Imperial Commando Special Unit.

(From Wookieepedia)

The insignia was re-colored black and red to look more "Imperial" in nature, as well as replacing the Republic Roundell with the Roundell of the First Galactic Empire and replacing the green Light Saber with a red one. The "Delta lightning bolt triangle remains unchanged from the original insignia. ENJOY!!!!

OK, I got it for you. Can you click modify your post and see what I changed? You just had [ img ] [\ img ] in there twice. Our server automatically sets an image size if it is too big

I will have to give them a look too. The only thing I worry about is getting the background clear like you have it. I should be able to photoshop your image and erase the background myself, but if not I will let you know.

The only reason I say vistaprint is because I have used them before and they don't have  a minimum order, but this will be my next tshirt. Just awesome once again guy and thanks again.

Neither does customink.com, and the black version has a transparent background the white one does not, if you need me to send you the transparent .png images, I will be more than happy to do so

Well now I will really look at them then.

As for sending me the images, and you might know more about this than I, but I think when you send them it puts some type of background in them anyway.

Thats a good point Clint. If we could get that logo I have on the back bigger I would get one with it on front so I could use it in some youtube vids. I know how graphics are though and sometimes bigger isn't always easier so we will see what VA says.  I wish you could make things larger without pixelating like you can make big images smaller. What a great design though.

Ok, VA was very accomodating and this is what I was able to get that larger graphic to do using Vistaprint.
(http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f115/CTtamer/Tamer%20continued/livepreview.jpg)
Now these in black ain't cheap by a long shot (34 bucks with shipping), but you do not have to have a minimum order. I have one ordered right now so I can make sure they will print ok, and if they do I plan on calling them and seeing if they can work out some type of deal (they do free one side printing and tshirts on occasion) to try and get these cheaper, but I am so excited by this great new tshirt design. VA, you have really outdone yourself this time and that new letterhead is great too. I love the lettering on the words too.

I think as long as we didn't try to make a profit we would be ok, but I will look into it. It is a lot of web work getting an estore in place (if you are talking shopping cart, shipping, etc.) though.

As for starting small that is definitely the way to go, and if someone wants to organize a poll that would be great. Your designs are just over the top guy. I am surprised someone hasn't grabbed you up just like Hangarbay94 and asked you to make sci-fi graphics all day long.

There is no emotion,
there is peace.
There is no ignorance,
there is knowledge.
There is no passion,
 there is serenity.
There is no death,
there is the Force.

I will give that site a look. Thirty four shipped for a front and back printed tshirt is a bit much for my tastes. I would love to start an estore selling some Shipyards merchandise, but once again using any type of Star Wars image (even the movie type lettering) would be considered fraud and ole George has taken on some folks that have done that. Copyright infringement and all that and figuring what is and what isn't allowed hurts my head. Still, it would be great just to give the Shipyarders a cost place to get some ISY stuff!

As for your latest Jedi one I like! That parchment feel to it with that lettering is just faded enough that you could still write on it and not get distracted by it imo. I know one thing I think I have your designs as wallpapers on almsot all of my computers and that is quite a few. I have one of Hangarbay94s on another and one of SithLord229s on the final. Counting work and home I have 8 puters.

I think it's more the actual names and logos that he owns. An image or shape can loose it's copyright if it's color changes or even if it is inverted, i believe.

Well for any of that I think we are ok as long as we don't make a profit, but the legalities get sticky real quick. I am even wondering if it had a "likeness" to a SW image or graphic if we would be ok.

I would also guess that George would probably have bigger fish to fry than us, but I believe SW Shop is the only exclusive place allowed to make and print SW shirts and clothing. It is worth looking into. I will add that to my list this week to check up on the legalities of it or see if there is a free blog or chat room or something I can find with a real lawyer where I can get some advice.

Do you offer those for sale on the web site?

No, it is illegal to use any SW graphic to make a profit so right now I just uploaded graphics from Viper Aviator on a site called Vistaprint.com which is a fairly easy to use put your graphic on anything. I will see today if you can get access to my tshirt design I uploaded and you could just order them the same as me, but this one was pretty pricey.

I aim to try and see if I can find someone to print these in a larger quantity for less per tshirt than this one, vistaprint lets you order just one shirt and I am gonna see if they will discount them in a larger order so stay tuned folks. The only gripe I have is that this black shirt is very lightweight, which for summer would be good for a black shirt, and seems kinda scratchy (I am gonna give it a wash) and see how it goes.

Viper Aviator suggest www.customink.com, but I could get their grahpics upload to work for me at all so I didn't see what their price was and they took all the white out of the lettering on the back decal, which I really like.

Shawn that shirt looks awesome! Now get some fertilizer on that fescue!

Adm. Strang In Oil

Prior to the Battle of Yavin, Strang was in command of a team of storm commandos, elite troopers of the Empire's Stormtrooper Corps. Later in the war, he was promoted to the rank of Admiral and placed in command of the Conqueror, an Imperial-class Star Destroyer equipped with a superlaser. He encountered the Rebel Alliance's Renegade Squadron led by Col Serra when they infiltrated the Conqueror in the Mustafar system. Strang and his storm commandos were defeated by the Renegades, who proceeded to place thermal detonators on ship's reactor core. The detonators were triggered and the ship was destroyed, but before the explosion an X4 Gunship was able to escape from the Conqueror. One of the Renegades speculated that this ship may have been carrying Strang

From the  Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game – Threat of the Conqueror (Light Side scenario campaign)

Yes they are all done in photoshop, some are left as is, while some are modified with custom backrounds, lighting etc. For example, the the Star Destroyer was a physical model with the backround custom rendered

Thanks JediMerc, I was trying out a new (well for me) technique that I saw on Youtube.
Tantive 4 looks great! Keep em coming!!

Say what program do you do your "unit patch/roundels" with?

It really depends on how complex the design is, for really complex designs I use Illustrator for easy ones I either use Illustrator or GIMP, and thanks for the compliment of the Tantive IV, I'm still trying to come up with a design for your Shrike that do it justice.

Sweet! Don't be in any hurry man, I'm just honored you're making one with the Shrike.

I have never used Gimp.. I have several versions of Paint and Paint Shop Pro 9. It's pretty good- though i switch between That and Paint.Net for image manipulation.

It's really been a while since I came up with an original insignia, and for that I apologize. But to make up for it, I submit this.

It is a possible center section for the insignia of the Imperial Navy TIE Fighter Advanced Combat School (The name is the center section is just a WIP) any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the feedback and the wonderful comments. Well this is a WIP and is still I WIP. I was looking at it for hours last night because I thought that something was missing and not quite right and then when I woke up this morning and it dawned on me, I NEED AN EXPLOSION IN THERE! So I went back and added one. I think it gives it more of a dramatic effect.

Now it's time to move onto the border for the insignia, and I think I'm going with The Galactic Imperial Navy Fighter Combat Academy. Any thoughts, suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated!

Now onto the next project.

Today, a friend of mine found a hand drawn insignia for the Imperial 181st Fighter Group and asked me to vectorize it. I kept the original design of the drawing made by decajun4513 over at www.omegawing.net with the only alterations being the orientation of the TIE Interceptor and the lettering in the bottom ribbon. I did it in both the "in-universe; Aurebesh and the "fan accepted "Engli-Besh".

I want to give the utmost credit to decajun4513 for coming up with original design. He or she has a great creative talent.

If anyone here knows decajun4513 please point him or her to this image, I would really like to know his or her thoughts on this image.

Here is a direct link to decajun4513's original hand drawn image: http://omegawing.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5722&sid=5aad2bc3ac99ae175a32a16e50150c25

Post by: Viper Aviator on December 02, 2011, 04:58:25 PM
Thanks Doc, the TIE Bomber has always been one of my favorites as well. Although, I think it was really underused in the Original Trilogy. I have always thought of it as a "multi roll" fighter along the same lines of the F-16C Viper (Fighting Falcon), F/A-18F Super Hornet or more accurately the F-15E Strike Eagle, Meaning that it could fight it's way into it's target zone, drop it's ordinance on the target and then fight it's way out.

NICE!!!  Who cares that he shot first?  Did they not think a scoundrel/smuggler would be capable of handling business like that?

Post by: Viper Aviator on January 27, 2012, 08:56:34 PM
I can do that for you, do you want it in the same "flag" style that I did for the Imperial Armed Forces, or in the style of the banner that I did for the First Galactic Empire?

It's been a while but I'm back. Sorry for the LOOOOONG delay in posting. Here is the latest one for you fine people, The Imperial Fighter Pilot Academy. I think it would look cool as a patch or on a t-shirt or sweatshit.

What do you guys think?

How much was that if you don't mind me asking? I would love to see what it looked like loaded up too.

I think it was 12.99 or 14.99.

My wife got one and my son got a hoody with the same thing on it..
I will see what I can do with getting a pic up of it....


Would love to turn it in to a tattoo!!1

That would rock in my opinion

Please understand that I'm not trying to be a jerk in any way, but Coruscant is spelled incorrectly.

Sorry about the misspelling of Courscant, I've always been hit or miss on that. My bad, I will correct it shortly. I got the inspiration to modify the logo based on the same t-shirt that I ordered from RIPT Apparel. But instead I wanted to make ir more fighter specific, that why I changed the header and footer to Imperial Fighter Pilot Academy Courscant, from the t-shirt version that read Imperial Academy Pilot Institute Courscant while still trying to keep the overall collegiate look and feel.

here is the original design from RIPT Apparel
