Hey guys, I've been brainstorming a few ideas for a clan TA logo but my PS technical skills are limited to pretty simple designs. After a bit of meddling with some overly complicated versions I came up with this which seems quite popular. Considering some of the TA guys are interested in getting some shirts or posters for TA printed I'm keen to hear what everyone's opinion on the new logo is - whether you're in TA or not - or if you have better ideas or someone who can do a professional one for free (or even for mates rates), or make some improvements.

This one keeps the serpent theme we've used with previous, rushed logos while looking a bit neater in icon and t-shirt form, and looks good black or white:

Before it can be used for posters, etc. I probably have to increase the resolution and clean up some of the scrappy edges, but it was done basically from scratch so will be truly our own n_n

So classy! I'm a big fan of black and white simplicity and this design is just that.

Dunno if it was intentional, but the serpent kinda forms a T and the blank space forms an A so its even more cool!! If you could somehow accentuate that just abit more while keeping it subtle it would be super cool ^^

Uhhh sure let's say it was intentional ;)

really nice work del. probably the best logo i've seen on sea so far tbh. the gradient change on the white logo makes it look better but doesn't work so well on the black logo.

Yeah for sure some humorous quotes, mottos, etc. or player IDs could be added to shirts :P I imagine it's cheaper for a bundle if they aren't individualised though

Delraich · Thu, 26th-Jan-2012, 9:15 PM

Logo looks awesome. Love the serpent and the font etc - very kick ass and cool.

Possible ideas to try/ test could be:

Continue the curve of the circle in the logo so that it goes into the text (so it looks like the shape of a planet horizon behind) - might be worth trying.
I really like the clean-ness of the lines, but maybe a bevel on the circle of the logo and maybe around the writing could be nice?

deL · Thu, 26th-Jan-2012, 9:18 PM

Yah I might try those out delraich, sound like solid ideas.

x5_Potter · Thu, 26th-Jan-2012, 9:39 PM

Something that works on the pun of Terra vs Terror.
eg. Terror Australis, exploring your doom.
But less terrible :P

The logos look really sick but shouldn't it have some kind of australian animal? We are Terror Australis after all . . .
I guess the problem is most Australian annimals look cute and friendly. Maybe like a badass koala or a Tyrannosaurus Rex ?

Delraich · Thu, 26th-Jan-2012, 11:34 PM

I only just noticed that the black and white logo's are quite different.

I personally prefer the font of the logo with the black text (white background), but I like the little gap in the middle stick of the E in TERROR, like you have in the white font.

If I had to pick, I prefer the text layout of the white logo where it is the same height as the logo (lines up with the top and bottom of the circle), but the other way looks very cool as well. I'm not sure how the black text font will look if it lined up though, so not sure if lining it up to the top and bottom of the circle is the right way to go.

At the end of the day both are great, so you can't really go wrong with either one.

Caliber: 5.56x45mm NATO + 40mm
Action: Gas operated, rotating bolt + Metal Storm patented stacked-projectile caseless
Overall length: 738 mm
Barrel length: n/a
Weigth: 6.48 kg unloaded, w/o sight; 7.85 kg loaded w/o sight (30 5.56mm + 3 40mm rounds); 9.9-9.9 kg loaded w. electronic sight
Rate of fire: 650 rounds per minute (for 5.56mm barrel)
Capacity: 30 rounds (5.56mm) magazine plus 3 40mm rounds in the G/L barrel

The AICW (Advanced Infantry Combat Weapon) is a joint development of the Australian DSTO (Government operated Defence Science and Technology Organisation), and private companies Metal Storm and Tenix Defence. This development has been carried out since the turn of 21st century, closely following the concept of the American XM29 OICW system. Overall, AICW represents the modular weapon system that combines the 5.56mm rifle/carbine copmponent as a host (basic) platform with 40mm multi-shot grenade launcher (G/L) module and multi-purpose electro-optical sighting system, which can be used to fire either rifle or G/L component, and also can provide recon data to external "consumers" such as tactical computers.
The host rifle component of the AICW is the updated Australian-made F88 rifle, which is a license-built Steyr AUG.However, the basic F88 rifle has been extensively modified to accept other elements of the system - for example, receiver has been upgraded to receive the G/L module at the top, and the buttstock has been enlarged to accomodate G/L electronic fire contol module. Other changes include modification to the safety and trigger arrangements - AICW system has a single trigger for both weapon components (5.56 and 40mm), and a three position (safe - rifle - G/L) safety/selector switch at the side of the pistol grip.
The most interesting part of the AICW weapon is the multi-shot Metal Storm 40mm grenade launcher, which looks like a single 40mm G/L barrel but contains three 40mm projectiles stacked one behind the another. These projectiles are launched using the electric ignition impulses, provided by the fire control module built into the buttstock of the host rifle. Since the muzzle velocity of these projectiles is slightly more than usual for 40mm handheld G/L (95m/s instead of 75m/s), host rifle incorporates the recoil reduction buffer, that allows the Metal Storm G/L barrel to recoil against the spring, decreasing the peak recoil impulse.
The top of the receiver hosts the multi-role sights of various type and make. At the AICW VX3 live fire demonstartions that took place in the summer of 2005, AICW prototypes were displayed with ITL Viper multi-purpose rifle sight (that incorporates laser range-finder and digital compas), or with Vinghog Vingsight Fire Control System. At the present time (late 2005) AICW prototypes have not yet fired 40mm grenades with live warheads, nor incorporated an airburst facility. However, it is stated that it is possible to easily adapt most of the existing 40mm grenade warheads to the Metal Storm technology, including air-bursting grenades that are now in development in several countries.
At the present time AICW weapons are available only as the "3rd generation technology demonstartors", that completed first live-fire trials (as a complete system) in the summer of 2005. Current Australian MOD plans state that ADF may start to purchase AICW systems in around 2010-2012.

@Delraich
I was of the belief the F88 Aussteyr was not locally produced?
Fun side-note, the plastics for that weapon come from Tupperware.

On the plus side the Aussteyr is fun to do drill with... SOOOO much easier than 303 or SLR.
