That was kinda the point, that the King Flight logo was a parody of the Burger King logo. I deliberately sought out the Burger King logo and a font that matched theirs as closely as possible. I'm not using as a real world organisation, not even as group who play MWO, but purely as a fictional insignia used by a fictional group. In fiction. That I'm not getting paid for.

In other news, I was going to ask Hayden for Lyran Alliance and Lyran Commonwealth insignias, since between him and Ironhawk I've got access to beautiful redrawn versions of all the Successor Houses except those, as PGI snatched him away before that could happen. Then I realised that my own art skills have matured in that time enough that, heck, I could probably work some of my own from his Federated Commonwealth insignia. So I have.

The Lyran Commonwealth:

And the Lyran Alliance:

Just wanted to give you my blessing. When I uploaded the images they were for the use of the community for any non-commercial purpose, and I'm glad to see you putting them to good use. And that Oberon Confederation image kicks ass in liberal measure.

Thanks Hayden!

Continuing my tour of the Periphery, the Marian Hegemony.

Well, the insignia changes depending on the time period. In the 3050s it's a golden cyclops head in 3/4 profile, but following the Jade Falcon refusal war it is changed over to a rabid wolf leaping in mid air. Got a preference?

3050 version to fit in the MWO timeline

On it, boss.

[Sparks Murphey]

The Marian Legiones. Or at least the three easy ones.

I Legio


II Legio


V Legio

III Legio, IV Legio and VI Legio still to come.

[Sparks Murphey]

Alright, so according to Field Manual: The Periphery, III Legio's insignia is "a wolverine's skull set on a pike".

Still think it could use some work.

Non-joke version coming soon!

[Threat Doc]

Har-dee har-har. That's pretty funny, actually.

[Sparks Murphey]

Ah, here we go. Much better.

Marian Hegemony, III Legio

I need to get these. If you people just let me use them on my small projects. Some png format ''transparent'' maps of this 3050 era would be lovely.... wink.

You (and the community as a whole) certainly have permission to use my images, and Hayden mentioned earlier on this page that his images are free for non-commercial use. I think I recall that Ironhawk said something similar about his images here, too.

For complete clarity, I'll add that the "King Flight" logo contains some elements owned or partly owned by Burger King actually, scratch that, I've just had a look into the Burger King logo, and discovered that since it "only consists of simple geometric shapes and/or text", it can't be copyrighted. It is still a trademark, so you can't sell King Flight burgers, but it's perfectly fine to put it wherever you please.

Thanks for your patience, I hope this works. I'm also throwing in the cluster's command trinary insignia as well, since it's so similar to the main image.

So, newly free from my prior engagement, I'm looking to get back into doing some insignia work for the first time in a year and a half. Willing to do some free requests (mainly for my own sanity), here are the rules:
ht to cease work at any time without notice (I don't anticipate a need for this, but I'm throwing it in for my own sake).

I'd like to have an insignia done using this image as a base image (the tiger, mostly.)

I'm not married to the background arrow/circle it's on but can't think of anything atm to put behind it or a theme, so I'm open to whatever you'd like to do in that regard.

What would it be for in particular? Sub-unit, or?

Sub-unit no, more like a personal insignia. It's a logo from VP-8 and it's just something I've always liked, it has RL significance to me.

Hayden, if you wouldnt mind doing a 4th Tau Ceti Rangers (New) version logo, I'd be very happy. Your old logo is fantastic, but we in the 4TCR would love to see an updated modern version.

What do ya have in mind? Just want me to explore the space and see what I come up with?

Just like to see this one done in a larger scale and higher quality.




You did the Old one, a while ago (Years), which I love, but would like to see the new one done too, thank you.

Challenge accepted. But I reserve the right to exercise artistic licence.

My take on it. I wanted to preserve the general layout of the new insignia, while maintaining distinctive features of the old (namely the units trademark "4"). I hope this fits the bill. Also, make it super-large, for your convenience I'm willing to make a couple tweaks here and there, but only once
