Lord Vader should not know this! its gonna take me some more time la to recontsruct everything from scratch... i shouldve saved it on my computer at home...sad..sad.. Ai, bad luck... but when such things happen the reconstructed results tend to be better than the original Chance to incorporate some feedback above too...

Hi, sorry if it's a bit off-thread (but not really off-topic)! 1. Now I've seen the "local" Stormtrooper (from the pix)! 2. When I checked www.rebellegion.com and www.501st.com I noticed that the Clone Trooper is appearing in both! I guess he's considered as good guy (As I mentioned ealier in my thread under "Introductions") as well as related (as a forerunner) to the Stormtrooper(60!) on www.501st.com. So another reason for me to keep eyeing/planning on (hopefully, dunno when) my CT armour! OK, you may continue with the logo thread Cheers!

My .02: 1. I'd go with the one on the right. The left one looks like a jumbo jet, while the middle one has too much red element as Vaderarjay pointed out earlier. 2. Take out the two small Imp logo, is it really necessary? 3. Can you make the moon/star BEHIND the white Imp logo, and then use the outer ring colour like your earlier design instead of blue? Or better still, take out red entirely, put the moon/star as the entire background, but with the full Imp logo in white to cover it so that the moon/star looks partially covered but noticeable... 4. Top n bottom Aurabesh says the same thing? Seems repetitive to me, what else can we say? 5. Does the single line from the word 501st LEGION serve any purpose? On another note, Also revise the domain name from malaysiaoutpost@yahoo.com to www.myscififan.com because that's our umbrella body which I'll be registering the whole lot of us under. I dont agree with this. Any domain name associated with 501st should have a unique and easily identifiable, such as 501st.my. I heard MYNIC will open up registration for the .my TLD that would allow organisations to put .my instead of the usual .com/net/org.my Sorry, but I don't think its appropriate to put myscififan as not all of us would be part of 501st, and I don't think its fair for the others as well. Also, I guess when designing logo, maybe we can think of what each element is supposed to represent, instead of just designing to make it look nice? The designs are very nice, but lets put our heads together to come up with ideas on what the elements are supposed to represent? What say you...?

thx 4 the comment Dplik,
i will try to come out with one example. The main objective here is to keep the dsign minimal, so in my opinion, the crescent n star is obvious enuff to represent Malaysia. The logo should be bold n clear enuff to be seen frm afar, and it should b easy to be made into stickers/embroidered label. Why dont we all take a look at the 501st Legion website n under 'Garrison' > garrison contact information, we can see all logos for each Garrison, Squad, Outpost, Detachment. We'll notice tht most logos incorporated a Stormtrooper in the design (even some mottos include the word 'Stormtrooper'). But here, as from other suggestions had stated earlier, we will try to remain 'neutral'. Id be happy to continue my logo designing volunteer work. If any of you have more ideas, maybe in a form of sketches? this would really help us a lot. We'll go for something bold n simple (in my opinion la).

the aurebesh simply means= serving the empire. im not good at copywriting, can someone please suggsst a more creative motto?
also, the logo should look good on your shining armor too la. U dont want to troop with a bad logo design do u?
i dont find any prob with the red color, i dont think theres too much of it, but its only my opinion. We can find red in many 501st logo. Ill wait for what others might say.

2. Take out the two small Imp logo, is it really necessary? The imperial logo seem to be in most, if not all 501st logos in one form or another. I suppose to make the logo less cluttered the 2 small imperial logos can be taken out if the large one behind the star and moon is made more prominent so that it’s immediately identified as the imperial logo.5. Does the single line from the word 501st LEGION serve any purpose? The line's purpose is to fill up the empty space, just like the 3 lines in the other logo.On another note, Also revise the domain name from malaysiaoutpost@yahoo.com to www.myscififan.com because that's our umbrella body which I'll be registering the whole lot of us under. I dont agree with this. Any domain name associated with 501st should have a unique and easily identifiable, such as 501st.my. I heard MYNIC will open up registration for the .my TLD that would allow organisations to put .my instead of the usual .com/net/org.my Sorry, but I don't think its appropriate to put myscififan as not all of us would be part of 501st, and I don't think its fair for the others as well. Since this initiative is made under MySciFiFan, and the CO(Commanding Officer) of the Malaysian Garrison will be a MySciFiFan Admin/founder, I see no reason why the Malaysian 501st Garrison can not come under MySciFiFan. It don’t make sense to register a website just for this purpose. Maybe the URL can be something like www.malaysian501st.myscififan.com. There’re examples of this in the current 501st legion: Japanese Garrison (www.thx1138.jp) Nordic Garrison (www.muftak.com/ng/) Pacific Outpost (www.pac501.com) Philippines Outpost (www.geocities.com/phil501st) celandic Outpost (www.simnet.is/mobius)Also, I guess when designing logo, maybe we can think of what each element is supposed to represent, instead of just designing to make it look nice? The designs are very nice, but lets put our heads together to come up with ideas on what the elements are supposed to represent? What say you...? Yes, that’s what’s usually required when designing a logo for a corporate entity, but we’re doing this for fun, so we shouldn't be so strict about these kinds of things. From my experience working as an account executive in several advertising firms, the ‘justification’ for all the elements are usually thought up after the logo have been designed…in other words, it’s all a bunch of bulls**t to make the client happy…
