Along with the outfit revamp, skywatch is getting some work done. I've created 3 specialties and I'd like to have distinctive badges for each of the three. They are Fighter, Gunship, and Air Lift.
Our original badge (My avatar to the left) was created by Nomad and is the basis for our current TS3 badge for Skywatch members.
I'm thinking I'm going to leave that as the Fighter Badge for simplicity sake and because it is cool.
That leaves gunship and airlift. I have some ideas for these, but am having trouble with the execution since I'm all thumbs when it comes to graphic design and art in general.
For the gunship badge I'm looking at something similar to this:
My idea here is to keep the right wing from the Skywatch badge and put ae skull center to create a Single-winged skull. Give the whole thing a counter-clockwise tilt similar to above (indicating ground attack). Underneath I'd like a single lightning bolt striking parallel to the winged skull. The thought was to have the winged skull clutching the bolt, but that might be too busy when it gets scaled down for TS3.
Something along the lines of the two center bolts would be preferred to avoid any similarity to SS lightning bolts.
For the Air Lift badge, I like this:
Keep the skywatch wings and add the three arrows in the center.
All three badges would be tied together by using the same wing design, but be visually distinctive at a glance and simple enough to stay clean when scaled down for teamspeak.
I'd love them on a transparent background if at all possible.
I'm going to keep working on these myself, but I know we've got some really talented people in the outfit who might be interested in putting something together for us.
