REQ......Help with a fictional boats emblem...???

gAiNiAc · 09-10-09, 12:21 PM

Anyone of you talented graphics folks can help with an idea I have?

I'd like my own emblem for a Balao. "U.S.S. Snakehead".

If you don't know a Snakehead is a voracious, nasty, fish. Eats everything. They're mighty tasty as well.

If I supplied some links to pictures and described what I was looking for would someone be able to draw it up?

I'd then like to have the Battleflags folks package it for me.....

PM me if you'd like not to advertise .......

Cool........

I was thinking more along the lines of keep it true to the fish, scales, colors, fins, but coil it like a snake rearing to strike, and at the tip of it's tail place counter-rotating torp props as if they were a rattlesnake rattle.

Have it tossing torpedoes from it's pectoral fins while smoking a cigar wearing a USN dixie cup! In the style of 40's Aircraft nose art......Stylized like a cartoon character, maybe with an anchor tatooed somewhere.....

Here's an example pose:

Here's some Snakehead's:

This one reminds me of an old Senior Chief:

What a great emblem Gunfighter! (He designed the Barbarinna's emblem, too, bless his soul!).

Stick with him, and he will probably help you out! As for snakes, how about a Sea Snake. I saw one once floating on the surface in the Persian Gulf!

The Barbarinna's is quite lovely! Good to hear that Mr. Gunfighter is the man. I'm kind of stuck on the Snakehead as a snake concept......
