I was just playing around with different fonts in Visio, but yeah, if I can figure out how to cut all the elements seperately, we'll have a League Logo kit (some assembly will be required)

I remember this from a n early discussion, a little tampering with the software if my memory serves me correctly you should market that thing for the hobby world you know LOL

I don't know, but it only scores .040" (1mm) sheet styrene, it doesn't cut all the way through it to be "popped out" like it does with really thin .010 styrene or paper or card.

Dave how big are those Aquila's if you don't mind me asking. I was just thinking about airbrushing my thunderbolt, I was thinking of doing the Aquila look on the wings
I can cut them as big as you can print them on paper with that font. You have to think in flat layers. Just change the size of the font, like you do in Word.
The machine will cut any Vector Graphic, but it has to simplify the path in the drawing...it's hard to explain...google it for more info. it's a PITA sometimes.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Yes, normally, you have to buy Cricut's propriatary cartridge ROM's for different fonts, graphics, etc... But alas, the hacked part

hey dave... i like the idea of making a good looking league icon.... tho could i ask a favor?... could we have one without the dreaded warhammer skull? that is something the league is not standing for...after all we create things...we build them... to make them last for ever^^ death and decay...seems very unlikley for me to get involved and i think the skull is standing for that...i hope i am not spoiling things here...
^vik is making complete sense.. and besides.. the =][_,= is a society not just military, if there are different symbols we use to signify different obligations.. why shouldnt the League have different L's and symbols for different purposes

I think there should be a league chapter affililiation emblem. Like, mine would be large walkers (for the most part) or a flyer. Vik could have a robot., dave some cool guns crossed over each other or better yet his =]_,= could be emblazened over a really cool mini base........
Stuff like that.
LDD's could be blank..... LOL

Just a quick sketch of possible symbols. Some are cheeky, like the chicken leg, for food service rivets, but you get the idea. (well, someone did make a rivet cake...so there you go.)
I think we could have a standardized walker for Max, Vik and myself, is there a need to differentiate between walker sizes? Maybe, who knows.
I think it would good on my walker when I get it done.
