Well, you can imagine that the red star is stabbing it from behind

I thought you said you didn't play in this one....

I did not play in this one, so I cannot really relate to its events or spirit, but here is a quick idea for starters.... to get it going.     

I honestly really like the sample you set here. It's growing on me rapidly. Shades of Gray.... Bleak...like the weather.....without showing any strength or weakness.....maybe changing the lettering colors for "Red Storm" to the same Red as the Star and maybe even make the Krupp Steel White like the Axis Iron Cross depicted.... just saying

I like it!

Thanks, BlauK!

Anyone object to me going foward with this design?  Looks great to me.

The perimeter font wont handle well at its current setting for the patch makers...

The inner circle would need to shrink in so that the font size on the outer band could be increased/handled....

Of course the patch makers can do that....but what does it do to the balance and design?

You know they are going to do that...in an attempt to preserve the nuance of the font chosen....

if the star doesn't lay over the cross...then the compromise is that they are interlaced...at the least the lower part of the cross leg that imposes on the star should be tucked under....

The russians whipped tail...sticking the star behind the cross seems to be a slap in the face to the commies..

I didn't fly in it but I like the changes that were made here in oneway's post with the interaction between the star and cross symbol.

I already submitted the one based on the original.

The reason is that, while folks recognize a star if it is behind the cross, they might not understand the cross if it is behind the star.  It was an executive decision (and also because I wanted to get it going so that we have them before the next scenario starts).

I also submitted the Coral Sea patch, so I hope to have that one as well before next scenario starts.

We do need some donations into the patch fund, though, if folks are willing.

Glad to hear Patches got going, looking forward to it.

I'm going to see if we have any spare money to help with any patches to be done/to come, but money is tight as usual.
