Fist of Poseidon

Here's my personal U-boat emblem. It was made to commemorate the patrol where I sank two destroyers that were hunting me after I raided a convoy and earned my boat the right to have an emblem.

Some of you have seen it already in another post. I wanted something unique and agressive, so I made it from scratch with pen and paper, scanned it, then touched it up using PSP X and making it into a .tga with background transparency (using a graphics tablet is murder).

I wanted it to be simple so it was easily recognized and also have the look of having been painted on by hand, by the proud crew in celebration of such a sucessful patrol.

It's currently being sported on the conning tower of my much beloved VIIB, U-47 (I really need to find a unique boat number, too.)
