MSI Artwork

Well I've got some different artwork on the way, like logos, maps, and so on, for the MSI. I'll post them here.




For the moment, here's a logo idea for the old Minotaur Mercenary Force, sort of as a concept of what to make everything for the MSI to look like. I hope to make the actual MSI stuff cleaner and more professional-looking though.

I've got two versions, one with a shadow behind it to give some depth and the other without. Not sure which one I like better.

Then here's links to the full-res versions:

Wow, those are very nicely done, very imposing - excellent logos for a mercenary organization.

The Minotaur Mercenary Force logos look pretty good, and I look forward to seeing the final MSI results.

These are great! Much better than any of the logos I used at the time.

Like this one?

So, especially with the change in the MSI's name, I was wondering if anyone had any "official faction logo" ideas? I've got a work-in-progress Minotaur head logo like the one I made for the MMF, but since we seem to be dropping the Minotaur-related-ness for the MSI I assume we need something else.

I would have suggestions and examples if it wasn't finals week.
in all seriousness, something playing off the words in the name MAD came up with - or even just MSI - could be interesting. There's plenty of existing logos that use typography, however, so I'm not sure.

So I've got two more possible MSI logos.

Opinions?

Personally, I love the top one. It's fantastic! Very regal looking.

I agree; though is there any way the 6-pointed star in the second one could be incorporated into the first one? It would make a great symbol for the MSI (like the white star for the US) and could be used for the flag later.

Here's a variant with the star in place of the center circle. I think this is the best I can do as far as incorporating the star into the logo.

Also, any thoughts on the blocks of "stuff" surrounding the logo? They're meant to be an abstract/geometric representation of the MSI's territory, but I was wondering if I should get rid of it or have a variant without it.


And going off your idea of using the star for our flag, I had the thought of using the other logo for the MSI's Clandestine Operations and Intelligence divisions as a badge or something.

Spoiler:

Those look great. Dropping the "territory" stuff would make the design a bit more practical for patches and things, but it does look cool and it makes the logo more unique. Maybe putting it on a background? Also I love the idea of using the second design for COI. If we added a star or mark or something just above the diamond between the "prongs" we could use the same design for each division of COI- one mark for COI-1, two marks for COI-2, etc.

Wait, so if the abstract bits behind the centre of the logo are meant to be an abstract version of MSI territory, does that mean we finally have a general idea of what MSI space looks like? 'Cause I'll definitely get back to work on a map if that's the case.
