Sort of going along with the site ideas, I was woondering if any artists wanted to make a Jedi Academy insignia. The current one is just some Screenshot of Kyle. I'm thinking like a JA Crest, etc.

Think of some cool JA isignia that would look sweet as an insignia. I'm also thinking of having the crest/insigia support looking slightly different for each rank.

But have a main one we can use, instead of the back of Kyle's head, like we currently have.

If you want e-mail them to me. I'll post what ones come out best.

Just to note, I'm ahead of you guys in terms of representinf principles and the Jedi code.

Expect to see some post of the insignia after the weekend.

And, since I have the Jedi Code as my wallpaper, here it is:

There is no emotion, only peace.
There is no ignorance, only knowledge.
There is no passion, only serenity.
There is no death, there is the Force.

Of course, it helps if you truly understand what all that means. But don't worry, I'll be writing a primer on all that.

we should represnt something in the logo.
a circle that is cut horizontal in three pieces, biggest lowest part are the students, upper part for istructors and peak small one is the council. surround it with hands protecting it, an olive thing or whatever...
oh, and it helps if you do it in 3d. u can add cool stuff like golden look, lightning etc very easy.

generaly we should express the main jedi acdemy guidelines.
-diciplin
-friendship
-open for everyone
-balance/harmony

dunno how to do it though ;)

Well Vaughn...the quote...

Your profile picture is of Kenshin.
The quote is from Master Hiko, Kenshin's master.

Hiko is the bomb. Basic equivalent of Yoda, only he uses good grammar. I suugest to all that you watch the Kenshin series. Seriously.

ioshee I like how the same bars vaguely resemble the different letters :)
Very thematic.

Charon I remember seeing the sigil, or reading about it... I can't remember what it looks like, I only remember not liking it very much :D

I like a lot of the designs that we have so far (one sent to me, ones posted, and ones described.)

I'll take some time later to pull some of the best parts together, and make some significant insignia. I'll also take some SS during classes for our background.

Thanks, keep the ideas and submissions coming! Each one has some part that I truly like, so each one of you will have some influence on the final design.

I was thinking something along the lines of a UN type olive branch going in a half circle at the bottom (if u don't know what I mean search for UN and have a look at their insignia) And sitting in the olive branch could be a pair of scales, representing balance of the force.

I can't seem to find it right off hand, unfortunately, but there is a sigil of the Jedi order on www.theforce.net somewhere. Looks something like a disc with three handles projecting from it... Perhaps somone can blend that with banner like Fighter squadron patches? Or maybe use one of the force symbols from the game and do something similar?

I agree with the lightsabers being predictable. I also have the notion that a Jedi is a far lot more than their lightsaber and skills therein.

As we see, best in RotJ, the Jedi uses the lightsaber as a last resort. HOW MANY things did Luke try to do to release Han and others? He even gave Jabba a last chance. Only THEN did we see him use a lightsaber.

So yes. Something that may represent this balance.

To quote a sword master:

"When all is said, a sword is a tool of destruction, not salvation. The only way I can maintain my humanity is to bury its victims."

I think the same applies to sabers. Try to capture the Jedi spirit in something other than a saber.

Also,
Whoever sent me their one image for the insignia (intials KF), that didn't download right. Contact me on IRC, and I will give you my school address for non-junk.

Actually, here it is...BUT NO JUNK!!!

I haven't really read any of the extended universe books, and I don't think the movies really show anything in this regard, so I have no clue what a symbol for jedi's should look like. All I hope is that there aren't any lightsabers in it, as that would be BEYOND clichèd =) I'm thinking something showing balance, but it seems like the Jedis like to supress the dark side. I think it'll be interesting to see what the BioWare people come up with for Knights of the Old Republic.

it's a simple (usually) symbol/logo to represent a group or organization or something. usually military or combat units. like a pair of wings as the air force insignia for example. ;)

Those were cool, but the "Emperor's hand" one was a bit over the top. You can have that, dj:)
but to stay on topic for a bit, I've actually begun drawing some sketches. I'll send something in when I get it done.

Hmm anyone have any ideas on rank images then? They would make the comments pages look snazzier. Something unconventional would be cool.. kinda like the order tatoos from the tie fighter game if you remember those. :)

The ScreenShot idea seems good, and a viable answer. I was looking for something more as a symbol, you know, if you look in the RPG books and stuff, everyone has their own insignia. Rogue Squadron, Wraith squadron, Page's Commandos, etc.

I just thought if we have a similar insignia, it would look nice. Sort of a unity thing.

Really, if people just SAID what the design would look like, someone can draw it and scan it in, or something like that.

ohh that.. :)

Hows about this.. I've been wanting to do a big ol site update like that for a while. (Seeing as how I at times consider myself a graphic artist :)) When I first made the site I wanted to get all of the guts working 1st and have something that wasnt completely pug fugly on the outside to look at. Hows about this. You guys find or make me some cool game screenshots in game.. preferably within the academy map.. They can be poses or duels or whatever, but what I'd like best is a scene where there are a few students sitting in front of a trainer who is teaching or demonstrating something.

edit: The update I have in mind will change not just the front page, but the whole site (to work with new color schemes): the menu, link color, header images. The works. :)

Ulic is talking about the background picture of the academy website of Kyle and the Reborn, and all we can see of Kyle is the back of his head.
