Why would the "Elite Trooper" sig have to be the same as the squad colours?

Because Blackjack is Elite, Corvin. We might as well show our squad pride wit h our own colors.
Anyway, I'll need my "Elite Assistant Squad Leader" tag, thank you very much

I see Corvins point. But I agree with Garryll. It's makes sense.
So does that mean Abbs should use Indigo and black now instead of purple?

Corving said: Quote:Meh. And Havock doesn't have a say in the matter.
I think she's got a right to protect Raider's colors as their SL. Sure, Raiders is grey and black or whatever(besides the point) but please don't flick Havock's say off in casualty especially when it does concern another squad's theme/color/whatever. Abalar, these are awesome signatures you've done, and original as well.  BJ is lucky to have you, hehe and congrats on the promotion. ^^ Peace

Except that Ron dear!
But the curve of the frame and those jazz really struck me, But you're right, I should have singled out the influence you now wield on signature history in the VE
If you take a look at those sigs had developed in the 10 years, it can be broken up as follows.
* Text
*Colored Text
*Fading coloured texts*
*Basic picture: 90px in withd. 10px in height (traditional size)
*Rectangular square with squad name and a picture breaking out of square
*Curved square and image and transparent layers effects
*Silhouettes -you come in here
*curviness gives way to actual oval shaped signature- Abalar.
(Well that's more or less it, switch and add some effects)
Well, this is how I'm seeing this, but my apologies, I was grabbing for words to quickly, but we all get the gist I'm sure

http://comnet.imperialnetwork.com/topic/8551/Hop there if you want to see the squad colors that Angel is working off of. Dark Dragoon used to have a different set of color than the ones there, which is what I picture your colors to be... Gonna take a moment to dig it up... And here we go: *DarkDragoons*

Aeos:
I'm not so sure.
Thing is, why should Havock have a monopoly on the colours red and black , especially when red's also the shade of BJ's armour ? Squad colours are just something that comes up in fan art, story descriptions, and fluff on the roster.
By that argument, Tanus could forbid all non-members of Blackjack to use indigo or black in their profiles. :P
Since RAIDERS already took the colour for its sigs, there's a problem: copying. Other than that, not really.

Quote:Squad colours are just something that comes up in fan art
Not true at all. In every squad I have seen, squad colors are quite important; they help to identify a squad. For instance: Jester was orange, Paladin was blue, Raiders is Red, Wraith is green. This has been around for a long time, and you just can't take another squad's color because you want it. If those squad banners were green, I'd ask you to change it too, because green is considered Wraith's color. Quote:By that argument, Tanus could forbid all non-members of Blackjack to use indigo or black in their profiles.
Wrong again. I can use whatever colors I want in my profile, but if I want to identify a squad using a color it's considered polite to use the correct colors identified with it.

Okay, so now we're going to refine the story:
Morning comes around, and when a few tanks and men don't answer radio calls back, the mercs send out a sizable force to check things out. Jager calls us about the force, and we ambush them, as Jager put it, "Red Dawn style." This means we make them think we have more men than we really do. Thinking its a large scale assault, the mercs send out all remaining tanks and a larger contingent of ground forces.
Meanwhile, the merc leaders have decided that things have finally come to a head and wish to retreat. Jager spots this, and calls in the airstrike. Bombers come in, decimate the base, and Jager and Abs go in to play Angel of Death to finish the dead and dying. We mop up or forces in the area, meet up with Jager, evac and that'll be the story.

So, for Garryll and Corvin, yours are done. PM me for your respective sig thingys. Loran, I did some colour adjustments to the thingy, so you'll need to PM me as well to get an updated version. Basically, the colours are darker for the wording, as shown below.

I agree. The compact design of Abbs' is better. And I will use hers. And she was planning on doing a different one for each person. Each person would have a different silhouette of a character on theirs. So please give mine back  Just let her know you want one. But here are some smaller versions of mine.   I'm just gonna switch off and on Abbs. I hope you don't mind. I had actually been working on this for a while. I couldn't figure out the transparency. Seeing yours inspired me to finish mine.

Orobos and Hassar, you can get a customized one from me, as I'm trying to choose silhouettes that match your character, and that one is technically Loran's. Since you guys obviously want one, I'll make you each one, just PM me for the code/image.
