Faction #2 - Symbol Thread

I think you nailed it.
Close this thread, ime we got a symbol!

The origin story reminded me of the short story Judas by John Brunner
http://will.tip.dhappy.org/blog/Com.../John Brunner/Judas/John Brunner - Judas.html

here are a few which I made

they're surprisingly readable when shrunk down, too

To be honest, I haven't found anything that klicked with me in this thread. I kinda like the power symbol idea, but not the combinations of it posted here. Can someone combine it with the sun instead of gear? I think that would make a lot of sense for religious robots...

Highly stylized power button idea:

I am really disliking the gear simply because it is already in the first clans symbol. Nice ideas but they end up being too alike.

Am I right in saying Cylons used the infinity symbol in their religion? Maybe simply turn a star or planet into a 3D power button with 'infinity' wrapped around it. Just an idea.

Another go:

I chose the name Inquisitor Zor(Zor, The Inquisitor)If I might suggest a change.

I would suggest a Gavel with an executioners ax. Since an inquisitor is judge, jury, and executioner.

I actually think the image you used for your profile icon is better than this image.

Without the wrench end it would look like a phallice. Probably not a good idea.

Although unsuited for this game, wouldn't it be pure distilled awesome?

One could make the top of the "1" something non-phallic?

"Biohazard" means a hazard that is biological in nature (ie a virus or a living pathogen), not the fact that's it's a hazard to biological entities.

Thats because its the latest version. Posted it on page 6.

First off, I regret not being able to whip up a symbol to 'splain it all but here's my idea:

-A simple triangle/pyramid as the base of the symbol. Giving an Egyptian feel, as the faction could be hierarchical as such.
-A single, centrally located symbol. I was thinking of a cog, trying to veer from an eye but that could work as well. The cog gives the robotic aspect as well as simple beginnings/similarities of all.
-Radiating "light" from the central image, in the case of a cog it would flow very nicely. This could symbolize enlightenment, knowledge, holy light ek cetera.

I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of the creation/brainstorming in any way.

Nice one like the cog onbutton if its not used for this faction maybe some other.

Keep up the good work.

Awesome stuff, guys. Locking this now while we deliberate!
