Amacuse's Tuk'ata fits a lot better, since the bottom edge is curved rather than straight- as Will pointed out. Also, the clear background just looks bad...for example, try the green comnet skin. It looks like a Christmas ornament. I say no to clear backgrounds anywhere.

Alrighty Tuk'ata... it is, time to vote!

alright, alright... I'll wait...

I don't think I said anything about putting it behind the symbol, just about cleaning up the bottom edge. Also, the crest will appear on the wiki and in several other places- it makes a lot more sense to have a consistent background.

You may disagree about the importance of this part, but the crest will likely be referenced from time to time ICly. A clear background will promote a lot of confusion about the true colors of the patch. And who ever heard of a military unit whose patch's background varies depending on what it's put on?

Btw, I thought you were the one who wasn't a big fan of all the red?

That gives me an idea, though...Amacuse, think you could invert the red/black on yours to give the squadron another choice to pick from?

-Drac

I think that, once cleaned up, could be the best of both worlds. It's consistent, but the red's no longer so dominant.

-Drac

I like the fixed head.... but the black background took away the border which looked good... So i'd suggest another color, perhaps dark gray for border or background.

Back to black, man. That color scheme doesn't look good at all. Besides, the squadron colors are red and black/dark grey aren't they? Better to keep those represented.

This version of the Tuk'ata head is amazing, though. Very easily the best yet.

-Drac

I'd suggest using a darker grey... yes, now I'm helping the competition... I'm also still working on my next one... but anyway, darker grey... even on the first one, it still looks brown to me

That best not be garnet :P

But the squadron is Nazgul's heir if it's the heir of any specific squadron. As we've been saying on IRC: "And they cried out with the voices of (Loyal Beyond) Death."

There may be some Kaph influence, since Hunter used to be a Kaph, but it's not much. The colors just work well with the squadron's name and the crest was designed by a Nazzie (I actually had to go take a look on the wiki when you first said that, Will. I'd never seen Kaph's crest before.). If anything, both squadrons took inspiration for their crests from Rogue Squadron's.

-Drac

I have no clue what that damned rebel squadron's insignia looks like. :P

But I know i didn't look at it a single time when i made Kaph's.

Didn't know we were that good to have Rogue Squadron sent after us I'd be quite honored.

But in all honesty, I know who they are, just don't remember their emblem.

I should be getting the new story up . . . soon. Dunno when

Stewart is right... once we... meaning, once Stewart makes a story post so it can get moving again... finish the Rhen Var story, it should pick back up.

Again I'm gonna say
Take a look at your image quality.
If it was sharp and clear, it might be pleasant to look at your design.

You have some good ideas, but using bad image qualities in them ruins the design.
