It incorporates elements that reflect the group's mission, values, and heritage. The design is intended to be both visually striking and meaningful. + +Elements of the logo include: + +- The prominent subject is an armoured red right hand pointing to the left towards a vector representation of a star in the style of Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam". + - This represents the unit's role in acting as the Tribunal's private military force for carrying out the more covert, sensitive, and morally ambiguous operations that the Tribunal cannot officially sanction. + - The red hand is a symbol of power, authority, and the willingness to take decisive action when necessary even in morally complex situations. It also references how the hand (military) of god (the Tribunal) is often used to carry out controversial (and usually more bloody) actions on behalf of the Tribunal. + - It could also be interpreted as a reference to the "Red Hand of Lucifer", a symbol often associated with the darker aspects of power and authority, further emphasizing the unit's role in executing morally complex missions. + - The idea originally came from Nick Cave's song "Red Right Hand", which describes a mysterious and powerful figure who exerts influence and control over others, often in a morally ambiguous or sinister manner. This aligns with the unit's role as a covert force that operates in the shadows, carrying out actions that may not be publicly acknowledged or morally straightforward. +- The background is a UEE-inspired seal with three sections, representing the unit's allegiance to the United Empire of Earth (UEE) and its secretly authorized operations on behalf of the Tribunal. Each section of the seal contains symbolism that reflects each member of the Tribunal. + - The sections of the seal are designed to represent the three branches of the Tribunal: High Secretary, High Command, and High Advocate. Each branch has its own unique symbolism and color scheme, reflecting the distinct roles and responsibilities of each member of the Tribunal. + - The High Secretary's section features a stylized quill and scroll, symbolizing the administrative and legislative functions of the Tribunal. The color scheme is a deep blue, representing wisdom, stability, and authority. + - The High Command's section features a stylized sword and shield, symbolizing the military and strategic functions of the Tribunal. The color scheme is a rich red, representing courage, strength, and determination. + - The High Advocate's section features a stylized scales of justice, symbolizing the legal and judicial functions of the Tribunal. The color scheme is a balanced gold, representing fairness, integrity, and impartiality. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/174bg/media/logo/logo.png b/174bg/media/logo/logo.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..5027e01 Binary files /dev/null and b/174bg/media/logo/logo.png differ diff --git a/174bg/media/logo/logo.psd b/174bg/media/logo/logo.psd new file mode 100644 index 0000000..0c8a439 Binary files /dev/null and b/174bg/media/logo/logo.psd differ -- cgit v1.2.3
