Show us your Conning Tower Emblems

[TarJak]

I've just finished a Custom Emblems pack of about 280 images including historic german heraldry for most of the top scoring UBoat aces of WWII as well as some that I think just look good. As far as I am aware none of them were actually used on a uboat during the war so it's not an attempt to do anything historical, just some nice graphics to have some fun with.

I'm in the process of attempting to upload it to UBRS without much luck. So now I've uploaded to Filefront. I will add it at UBRS when I can get the technology working properly.

The archive runs to about 4.27Mb and all you need to do is drop them into your Ubisoft/SilentHunterIII/data/Emblems/SubEmblems folder. They will then be available once you have enough renown to get custom emblems on your sub. Enjoy.

Special thanks to GIMP for making Emblems easy to make.

Just downloaded your pack and had a look TarJak and I must say they look great I was very impressed (not meaning my opinion bears any weight)

I'm sure there will be a use for them by some of the kaleuns out there

Nope. Well, Americans had a lot of similar type of nose art in their bombers.
I think I will add my U-boat number to it... :hmm:

The history freak in me says "AARRRGGGHHH!!!". The rest of me says "It's cute. I like it!"

Thanks Jimbuna everyone's opinion matters. I enjoyed making them and learning a bit about both Gimp and Photoshop along the way. I just hope people enjoy them if they choose to use them.

Sailor Steven None of them are really historical but I don't really think that matters too much. To me it's a bit like wearing a wild looking tie and shirt with an Armani suit. (Not that I can afford one of those).
I quite like the manga cartoon theme and the nose art theme. I might even do up some of these genre packas as well if I can find time.

Is there a one of the devil's head? That is one I'm looking for.

Rob,

I can't remember if there is one. I'll have a look through and see what I can find. If not I'll have a go at making one for you if you like.

EDIT: Here you go mate: http://files.filefront.com/devilhead.../fileinfo.html

Rob,

here is another slightly more retro look: http://files.filefront.com/devil2tga.../fileinfo.html



Enjoy

@Tarjak

Both samples are excellent. However, if I was using a sub skin which was not black for the purpose of concealment, those would be excellent for a sub with a summer or winter skin. However, my IXB has a black skin, so I think a white outline or gray outline of a devil's head may be more appropriate. What do you think?

Rob,

Do you just want a white outline or a full white background? I can do both on both if you like.

TarJak

Just the outline of the Devil's head, dull colour, perhaps gray so that it cannot be seen that well by the enemy. On a black background so that it will fit on the black conning tower.

Edit: Here is what it looks like.

I was sorta hoping for something shown in post 343. But I assume I would lose many of the features of the Devil2's features. Thanks for doing it for me.
