Not going to swing at the hanging curve you just threw.  It was just a bit outside! :)

I don't feel they capture the essence of BoG. I can't use gimp enough to make it look like a patch, but what about something like a counter patch to BoB perhaps? Sure someone could do better than I.

I saw the other thread bumping this one. I had hoped there'd be some improvement over the ideas put forth as time went by, but I see they are still the same. I think they are somewhat uninspired and a little boring. Further, you can't get the fine detail on the hawk as mentioned.

I didn't have the time (at the time) to whip anything up, but now I have.


It shows the bombs raining down upon Germany as a mighty spearhead, with a red shield in place to stop them from harming the fertile green fatherland. The shield is held up by the fighters of the Luftwaffe, scrambling to altitude as fast as possible to intercept the enemy. The point where both meet erupts in lightning bolts symbolizing fierce battle of explosive nature.

The subtle use of red white and blue is reference to the US national colors, while the red white and black are subtle references to the German national colors. The text is on a ribbon scroll along the top and bottom, giving the patch a vertical nature. I wanted to get away from the round designs that are so common.

I put a lot of thought into it, and tried to load in several different meanings and references on multiple layers, but overall it's only as good as my execution.

So here's my patch idea, on 2 different backgrounds like I used to do when submitting patch ideas.

   


The bombs are easy enough. I think the planes might just be possible, due to simplified shapes I gave them. The lightning and shield/spear ought to be doable. Overall I think it's technically possible, and it only has 7 colors.

Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

lol I noticed that.

Aside from the little date error, I do like the patch idea. Looks good without massive detail and it gives the impression he was seeking.
