(OOC) Dauntless Logo

[Adele Mundy]

I like the arrows, both with (a little more) and without the trails; the spears, without trails.

[Blaze Strife]

Commander Verok, captain of TSN Dauntless, raises his hand. CAG sees the movement, as prepares to relay the order. Then the Commander says: “______”

• Launch the Fighters!
• Launch the Arrows!
• Launch the Spears!
• Release the Fighters!
• Release the Arrows!
• Release the Spears!
• Release the Kraken!
• Unleash the Fighters!
• Unleash the Arrows!
• Unleash the Spears!
• Unleash hell!

Which one do you think is the best? Anything else? If the Fighters are represented as Spears or Arrows, they (in a way) become the spears or arrows of the Division, and can be called as such.

//P.S. I’ve added two lines from movies in there, couldn’t resist…

[John van Leigh]

//I won’t resist the temptation to go with “Release the Kraken”.

Arrows without trails look great, I think.

[Udae]

For logo: arrows with trails.

[Verok]

I vote for the one with arrows and trails. I think the trails show more depth to the image, and shows that the arrows are in motion.

And, to reply to Blaze – I have said “Unleash Hell” on more than one occasion, but I most often say “Launch Fighters”. Although, I’m starting to really like, “Release the Kraken!”.

Hey – maybe we should call the fighters Kraken-class fighters. Then we could really say, “Release the Kraken!”

@matsiyan I hear the Kraliens claim Shakespeare was one of their own…

[Verok]

You’ve never experienced Shakespeare until you’ve read it in the original Kralien.

[Adele Mundy]

Sigh, how wonderful to bask in the general SF geekery of everyone!

[Aramond]

If “Release the Kraken” is not said at least once a shift, I will be disappointed.

[Blaze Strife]

How come noone thinks this is great, as well? At my signal, unleash hell

It might be more memorable to me because it’s a start of a song.

[Draeco]

I like the arrows with trails myself, but have no strong feelings on the logo shape (if I had to, I’d pick the non over hep, but I do like both). And yes, we clearly should have a Kraken-class fighter. But what analogous “release the” name would go with the (anticipated) bomber? Sharks? Hounds?

[Blaze Strife]

Sharks and hounds works well for bombers, I think. But there what are the fighters? The fishes? The eels? The chiwawas? The pekingese?

[Matsiyan]

“Cry ‘Havoc!’ And let loose the dogs of war!” – Marc Antony

Havoc class fighters?

Phobos and Deimos, the hounds of Mars, Fear and Panic.

So Phobos and Deimos class fighters with the launch code “Havoc!”

Actually, “Cry Havoc! and let _slip_ the dogs of war!” (Your resident librarian)
I like Phobos and Deimos, btw. Appropriate!
