So just incase you missed it here is my little project for ATAG :D

As it is taking a but longer than I was hoping here is a snap shot....

I have only just started but as some of the symbols might be a cause for concern I thought it best to make sure everyone is happy with this :D

I love the middle symbol(s) but the wings could use some more detail.

Of course :D

I am debating whether to draw the wings by hand or steal them like so...

I am still working on the symbols and debating where to put the ATAG, atm I think either spread across the symbols or above them following the circle.

Would be great to have some feedback :thumbsup:

I like. :)

How about making the insignia look like embossed metal also, and having 'Air Tactical Assault Group' on a metal scroll crossing the very bottom of the insignia?

Obviously I've no idea whether that's possible. I'm rubbish at this stuff. :ind:

I did for a moment fear you were going for a Jaffa cake centre, phew.

If it's to represent more of a badge in metal I like the idea of an embossed surround to the roundel, is there any way to make it look enameled?

I have no Idea what you boffins can achieve with this stuff but appreciate all the effort.

Cheers,

Septic.

I am a n00b at this stuff, every now and again I fancy playing around with paint.

Yeah I am going to try and get the wings and roundel to merge and I have some other ideas too :salute:

I also plan on creating one winged gif where the centre roundel changes to a outline of a bomb or a fighter to show your perferance, personally given my past I think I will have to go for two aircraft colliding or a parachute :(

Nice that does look good, unfortunately when i try to emboss the roundel looses all colour :(

Anyway here is the next iteration, the colours need work as they currently don't blend in well but I can try and sort that out later :D

Across the top it will have ATAG and on the bottom scroll ICH DEIN, which is german for I serve a bit corny...

All you need to do is apply some lightning effects and a bump map.

Last night a certain person who I will not mention just incase the Man is Watching had a few thing to say about the ussr roundel and i wanted to know if anyone else would want it removed or any other part :stunned:

Maybe if it didn't have the little bit of the hammer and sickle poking up, the Russian star would look a bit neater, other than that, no worries. :)

I'm sure I replied to this but it's not here, shame, was a devastatingly accurate argument about something, which was presented with a biting wit and ironic humor, an absolutely brilliant, entertainingly funny comment.

Anyway, can't find it but it was all about there being no need to worry about the red under the bed nowadays and I'm happy to see the red flag flying high, in a very unpolitical way you understand.

That's cool Krupi. Wish I had anysort of understanding of the paintshop or graphics stuff.

So, if you can't find a maple leaf, how about incorporating a bottle of Molson Canadian? :devilish:

Well, maybe not. Your version looks better. :)

Yes that's true, we were technically not a sovereign nation until the Gov't repatriated the constitution from Britain in 1982.

You seem to me making a decent go of things over there but I'm sure we in the mother country would welcome you back anytime!

Rather like an adult son might return to his aged mother to see her settled in the nursing home because she's gone a bit senile and smells faintly of urine :)

No offense intended to old mums.

I'd love to see all of our descendants finally come back home. Trouble is we're a bit short of space. Like this nursing home is. I can't even go for a pee without someone posting it on youtube.:ind:

By the way, I got sacked from my job as a bingo caller today.

Apparently, 'A meal for two with a hairy view!' - isn't the way to call out the number 69.

LOL Dutch a mate sent me that the other day so you may have seen this too..

Thinking of writing my own filthy book like Fifty Shades, so far I have got... "I gently ran my hands down her front until I found the smoothness of her pussy, she was wetter than a spastics chin" What do you think?

Anyway thanks for disrupting my thread :PP

http://s5.postimage.org/cts1odho7/ATAG_Gif.gif (http://postimage.org/)

So what do you think, its only half giffed and not aligned, also I need some help with the ATAG lettering !

Also I open the floor to suggestions on the sentence to go on the scroll, so far I have "vitiosus Hunnam" or vicious bunnies :D

It's getting there Krupi, may I suggest "ILLEGITIMI NON CARBORUNDUM" or "Don't let the bastards grind you down".

Regarding the novel; "....she was wetter than a spastics chin [which accounted for the half-inch of marzipan in the gusset]"....I'll get me coat.

gn chaps.

You will all note, that as the various symbols rotate, there is one which appears unmoveable, resolute, indefatigable, unconcerned, as the other nations gyrate uncontrollably.

The epicentre of all that is stable, fair and equitable.

Very profound and also true and unquestionable.

Don't I talk shite?

See ya chaps. :D

Okay, how about this...

http://s5.postimage.org/p04oeuw8n/ATAG_Wings_SKY.jpg (http://postimage.org/)

The edges need some work of course.

Colander, I have uploaded the psd so its a bit easier to work on...

http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=22

Here's the link, so everyone feel free to download and modify :D

P.S. Colander I like how you connected the ATAG to the crest and changed the color of the crest it looks good, but I am not sure I like the texturing on the writing and the scroll.

Dutch
Aug-12-2012, 07:09
If the scroll could look a bit more 3D that's be perfect. Stunning work mates!

(Thx for the link, but I wouldn't know WTF to do with it..........)

Easiest way to clean up is to put a stroke effect around the wings etc which highlights the edges easier to erase...also as already mentioned a Bevel on the scrol would make it looks better imo :thumbsup:
