That is beautiful. Just an observation, though, that looks almost more like an Air Force unit patch; there's nothing wrong with that, and may actually fit more based on what you described, above, hehe.

Well actually the first thing I found was the lounging Leopard / Jaguar on a tree, so then I was going to put it lounging on a Dropship but I couldn't find an image I liked, so I used a globe and since it was the 22nd Freebirth Cluster, I had to put a 22 on there. I was going to use the standard growling Jaguar or leaping but that is done all the time, and these are Freebirths after all, and we all know they are lazy shiftless good for nothings, so I thought the lounging cat would better convey how they embraced the derision from the Trueborns and made it part of their logo.
Thanks for the kind words, obviously this is not a cannon logo but there is nothing documented about them and I don't normally like the SJ's but a Freebirth unit sounded like a fun idea. I'm sure they are not the most fervent Jaguars, since I'm sure they are treated like crap.

I am currently in the Desert Rats and I think my unit would LOVE having a better unit insignia.

Thanks!

Your take on the Blue Star Irregular Insignia would be cool to see if your willing :). it's pretty simple though so I understand if there's not much to do.

that was quick! I was just interested to see what you came up with!

A little less pastel though if you're asking. And the background should be white or "silver"

Something that would be at home with the resistance badges would be cool. if that makes sense....

Because you enjoy the Chesterton Reserves so much Hayden, how about the individual units within the larger unit.

Love to see your take on Hamilton's Highlanders, even though, again, by this time...they're destroyed. :-(

OP, are these images something that comes from the BT universe or something that you've made yourself?

I am not Hayden, but I'll answer... nearly all of these are faithful rebuilds of original artwork, converted to more modern, and much larger I might add, versions of old insignia and art, lovingly restored and modified for finer detail work. To the best of my knowledge, there has never been such a vast repository of fantastic images from the BattleTech universe.

Nice BSI logos!! I do like the first since it would be useful if we used any sort of low-vis paint scheme.

Thanks for that! (even if I am a little late to the party).

Yes, Kay Wolf's description is accurate. My intention was to create a repository of BT unit insignia that were true both to the canon (while allowing for the occasional use of artistic licence) and to a kind of simplified iconography seen in real world military insignia (namely the use of few colors, no gradients, and no special effects, all of these things being easier for someone to add in later than to take out after the fact).

Anyway, for the rest of us,I've been doing a little stuff here and there.

Northwind Highlanders (old CCAF insignia, reimagined)

Crescent Hawks Insignia (I think someone else did one of these, but I wanted to do one of my own)

Generic Insignia, I did this for another art piece.
