Rusakov Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I had an idea to create a logo based on the "Corneria Defense Force" monkier that's given to us. Here's what I've got so far. Aside from centering the main text (which I'll do latter), I feel like it's missing something. If you want to suggest changes or additions to it, feel free to do so.

Rusakov Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 Maybe the text could go over an emblem of sorts, like these; I could do that! The one I use would depend on which one looks good enough when upscaled though. Edit: I think I'll draw my own instead. Less problematic that way.

True..., maybe a different set of larger, higher-res military-rank emblems would be a good idea; What about the rank symbol for corporals? - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could even add a few design alterations to it to make it more original (like adding stars inside of it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is getting good; originality is most definitely key, and judging by your previous thread, I'm sure you're more than capable! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusakov Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Here's a first try. If I color the emblem in I could put it behind the words. Does anyone have any specific colors they want? Edit: I just had an idea. How about animating the image so that one side has the words "Corneria Defense Force" and then have the image flip over to show the emblem on the other side?

Robert Monroe Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Advice: Try to make up your own design rather than just lift the US Army's rank insignias. Furthermore, the use of CORPORAL rank for an entire military is laughably silly. Look up other national militaries, compare their logos, take inspiration, create your own.

Psygonis Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I don't really get what you're trying to do... Is that meant to be a logo for the entire CDF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusakov Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 Is that meant to be a logo for the entire CDF? Yes, but I'm going to try to create a different emblem that would be more representative of the entirety of the military. I have a few ideas in mind. I'll post when I illustrate some of them.

Rusakov Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 Here's a try at a military insignia. The circles represent the two suns of the Lylat system. Coments/criticisms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psygonis Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 It's simple and conceptual, I kinda like it. However, it looks more like a banner flag than an actual army logo... Oh, and as far as I remember, either you consider Solar as a star, and Lylat is the system around it, either Lylat is the star of the system, not featured in any official game and Solar is a proto-planet (seen as a star by the current lylatians because they ever saw Solar as a big lava ball).

I'm afraid I don't understand. Are you saying that I should only consider Lylat as the star? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psygonis Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Well, in it's current state, Solar is a big shining ball, but it is not a star (and even less "a" Sun, since the Sun is our star! ). My point was only about words and terminology, I wasn't saying that Solar should not be on logos and insignias... Actually, I still think the CDF should have something centered on Corneria. That wouldn't be very distinctive though, since the whole Corneria Army logo is already centered on Corneria, but well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have more ideas for logos but they'll take some time (and maybe better software) to make. It could be a while before I have new icons ready. I'm also open to suggestions if anyone has any.

Robert Monroe Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Don't forget that in Starfox Assault, Corneria did have a logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psygonis Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 It would make sense for that logo to be CDF's logo instead of the whole Cornerian Army. I sketched this earlier, if it helps: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sketched this earlier, if it helps: That's a very good concept! I'll try coming up with something original first and if it doesn't turn out well then may I borrow some elements from your design?

Rusakov Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 I've decided to try something different. I'll make a flower (representing Corneria's fertility) with a sword at its center. I have the petals done but I need some time to get the center and the sword done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusakov Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 The flower is finished. It's a bit large though, so I'll just post a link to it. http://imgur.com/oDAgg Comments or criticisms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psygonis Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 That's odd for a defense force to feature a sword on its logo... A shield would suit better I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjrathbun812 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I agree. I mean, a flower for a military? It's interesting, but I don't think it's fitting. I encourage you to keep at it though! ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
