ISDII WARRIOR REPORT #23

TIE CORPS 'BIG GAME' LOGOS
TIE Corps Big Game

I'm not a big fan of American football or the 'Big Game' that's taking place tonight. However, I have a soft spot for sports team logos, and I thought it might be fun to try my hand at some football-style logos for the Hammer and the Warrior, depicted above.

The logo for New England's team inspired me to replace 'Flying Elvis' with our favorite vulpinoid commodore (complete with two 'tails'). The team from Los Angeles is mostly known for their helmet stripes that form the shape of ram horns. I wondered what those stripes would look like on a TIE bucket.

I'm primarily a 2D designer (if you'd even call it that), and I couldn't find great source images to make 'flat' helmets like you might see on a bumper sticker. Instead, I used the TIE pilot helmet from LEGO Digital Designer to mock up these images. Yep, those are LEGO helmets. It's not perfect, but then again, the main logo for the TC is based on a toy from the 1990s.

NEWS

Welcome to this week's ISDII Warrior report. The first exciting bit of news is that Sin Squadron's Rando has been promoted to Major. Congratulations on a well-deserved promotion, Rando. I'm told that Sinners prefer a drink called 'Sinfire,' so be sure to try that out, pilots (on Rando's tab, of course).

It's eval time again, and I already have Sin's MSE on my desk. Last month, I was able to submit the Warrior eval in record time, thanks to the efforts of your CMDRs. I'd like to see that trend continue in 2019, so send me those MSEs, CMDRs.

The first month of the 2019 Commodore and Wing Commander's Escort Flight competitions is in the books, and I've made my medal recommendations. It's nice to see so many Warriors ranking on the SP Kill Board, but there's still an empty slot on my MP-based flight. A nice way to earn some LoSs is to join the COMs in our weekly MP event on the admittedly US-centric Thursday night/Friday morning MP events (starting at 4:30pm Pacific).
