5th Oriente Hussars: This is based off the official description in the FWLM Field Manual, instead of the image usually associated with the unit, a flashman in boots and a stetson. The stars represent the trinity worlds.

6th Oriente Hussars: the 6th hasn't earned the right to have a distinct insignia after being re-formed following the Andurien Succession.

Since you have done some Hussars, I had done the parent Regulan Hussars logo:
The only one I could take reference from was provided by sarna:

Then I revised it so it looks a bit more sharper and colorful:

Your particular(ly well made) insignia is from the 4th Regulan Hussars, rather than the parent formation. I had a whole rant about the parent's design earlier. Good job.

Basically, I wanted to create a roundel for the CCAF. However, it had to be more than just another rehash of the traditional arm-waiving-sword. So, I stepped it back, got as basic as I could, and came up with this symbol:

It is made up of a scant three shapes: an "arc" symbolizing a sword, an "L-shaped" polygon, symbolizing an arm, and a triangle symbolizing the confederation. And negative shapes throughout create more triangles. I'm pretty damn happy with it :)

EDIT: So i came up with an insignia design that I thought was pretty classy and original... and then as I lay in bed falling asleep, it occurred to me...

Darn it, House Imarra! Darn it.

Lol, excellent work nonetheless Hayden, we can use it as an Imarra camo-version decal.

Thankyou sooo much for doing the Battle Standards, those will come in handy.

Glad you like the stuff, Balls. That said, the Imarra insignia actually _is_ different, I just meant that mine wasn't as cool and original as I first thought <_<

I just encourage you to keep in mind that the Battle Standards are all conjectural (I.E. made up), aside from the big one on top of the page, so don't get too attached. Honestly, I don't even know if that ancient depiction is even canonical anymore.

Holy hell man. That's probably the best insignia I've ever seen you do, that's so inspired and well done! I'm damn near jealous of a drac, how bout that?

I'm interested in getting a remake or rather re-imagining of our current cluster's icon.
