I use either a correct GWX emblem (like I did for U-46) or flotilla emblem if there's no matching emblem. Also, when I'm good enough (say, first Iron Cross?) I'll put some other emblem on, for example my current boat uses a Schwarzes Drakkar, as there's no emblem for U-108 in GWX.
How did the whole emblem issue looked in real life? What conditions had to be met to be awarded (assigned?) an emblem? Who approved the design, colors? Also, some of them seem to be rather lively colored, how did this relate to low-vis requirements?

It's my understanding that there weren't any preconditions & that the choice of emblem was up to the individual commander. For example a number of boats wore the Olympic rings as their captains graduated as part of Crew 36. Another example would be U-505. At one point in time the boat's emblem was a lion swinging a battleaxe. Her first commander's name was Loewe (Lion in English).

Before the war U-boats wore large painted numbers on their bridge superstructures. When war broke out these numbers were removed & the boats were not supposed to display any kind of emblem/insignia at all. This regulation was widely disregarded & according to my information, never enforced.

Check the Subsim download page. I think that Evil Jester76's historical emblem pack is still available. It definately has U-108's emblem & you can use it to add a few other emblems that weren't included in GWX (ie. U-65, U-68, etc.)
