I need a little help enhancing the Wiki so Japheth has approved my idea to make a little competition out of it.  You may enter in any or all  of the categories and the prizes for each category are listed.

Wiki Logos:
Each winning logo will earn the pilot 25,000ics.  All logo entries must be 200x240 pixels (double the size of a standard avatar).  I need the following logos:

A logo for Nazgul, Aegis, Kaph, Viper, and Venom squadrons.
A logo for Phoenix wing
A logo for VEN

The logo should obviously have the name of the unit and an imperial insignia.  What you add additionally is entirely up to you.  Use your creativity!

Writing Commendation:
This one requires a little more work.  Pilots who enter an award here must be able to make multiple versions of the same award (bronze, silver, gold, platinum, emerald, ruby, and diamond).  Therefore, the prize for the winner will be 125,00ics as once your winner entry has been approved you will be required to make all seven.

The size should be approximately 200x240 again but variations are acceptable.  I have a framework for this one as well.  I would like the medal to include a stylus designed in the category of award (for example a bronze stylus, emerald, diamond, etc.)  and a tablet with paper on it (the tablet should also signify the award so either be seen to be made of gold or have gold and lined with emeralds for the emerald award.).  Anything added is entirely up to you.  Make it easy enough to edit so that you can make all seven levels.

You need only enter one version of your design (no need to make all seven immediately).  The level of the commendation you choose to submit is entirely up to you although I would highly recommend entering a level that includes a gem (emerald, ruby, or diamond).

Good luck pilots!

"The way of war is a way of deception. When able, feign inability; when deploying troops, appear not to be. When near, appear far; when far, appear near. Lure with bait; strike with chaos. If the enemy is full, be prepared. If strong, avoid him. If he is angry, disconcert him. If he is weak, stir him to pride. If he is relaxed, harry him; if his men are harmonious, split them. Attack where he is unprepared; appear where you are unexpected. This is victory in warfare; it cannot be divulged in advance. Victory belongs to the side that scores most in the temple calculations before battle. Most spells victory; least spells defeat; none, surer defeat. I see it in this way, and the outcome is apparent." -- Sun Tzu

Ah ok.  Well I'm not sure if the other squadrons have colours; perhaps this is a good event through which to establish some

There is nothing wrong with fear. You need never be
ashamed of it, as long as it dosen't stop you functioning.
Fear is your natural warning system; it keeps you alive so
that you can can fight. Show me a man who isn't afraid,
and i'll show you a fool who is a danger to his entire ship.
