what about rank insignia???? what should we use something like Posted Image


Maybe just hashmarks?
For example:
/ =1st rank
// =2nd rank
///=3rd rank

and so on...we dont have too many ranks...and these would be the simplest of rank insignias (simple to make too)...they might look good too if they are stylized or in an interesting font...Id have to play around with it in photshop but Im not home right now...they might also look good on banners because as simple as they are they wouldnt take up much room and infringe on the banner design or its spacing...

again, just an idea though...

Wow. I didn't check the board for like 6 hours and there are 50 new posts, this is awesome guys, I love that there is this much interest in the group.

for rank insignias, I think we should go with something more Greek, I was thinking about a Corinthian style helm, and the higher rank the more embellished it is, for example it starts as just a helm, then add a crest and maybe stars around it or something like that.

I'm not the photoshop artist that Juicer is... but here's a rough idea of what I'm thinking

Hoplite

Spariatite

Posted Image

Hippei

Posted Image

Ephor

Posted Image

Basileus

i like it! can we do a different type of star like an eight point or something not 5 or 6 point... i'm a weirdo i know but i really do like this idea with some different stars. maybe four point... something less modern looking, other than that this has my vote hands down so far

Yeah, that looks good. but I was also thinking, we dont even need the stars if we can come up with some better symbols, maybe a lambda, since we are going eith the spartan theme. but that would look odd floating around the helm, so maybe in the background.

Just purely as a side note here, I thinkit's kinda funny how we have a Greek theme to the ranking symbols, Norse runes for the name, and somewhat tribal design for the insignia. We should throwin some asian influence somewhere. :D
