Sharing needles, a logo suggestion.

[AwesomeDude]

It came to my attention that (at least to my knowledge) there is no logo for Test Squadron's medical division/subdivision. So I decided to throw an idea out there. I thought of doing a modified Rod of Asclepius (The proper medicine staff logo with one snake. The two snake one you see in a lot of in TV news and the sort is more a symbol of commerce). I tried to do a sort of test syringe thing that has a snake wrapped around like a Rod of Asclepius. Off topic but i am interested in how many people read what I type and what i may need to do to make people read it. So if you read this paragraph choose answer 3 in the "Did you read" question no matter what anything else in the thread says. Anyway I'm not only looking for praise to cope with my narcissism but i would like some feedback with anything you have to add or suggest. Also there are a few things I want an idea of what people prefer between options.

Question 1: Down syringe or up syringe?

Spoiler: Full sized (Don't download Imgur reduces quality)

Question 2: Poorly illustrated beer or tongue?

Spoiler: Full sized (Don't download Imgur reduces quality)

Question 3: Did you read the thread?


also here is all the full size images but i will give a download link at the end so you don't get any down-scaling.

Question 4: What do you think of the logos?

• I like them as is.

• I have some suggestions on how to make it better

• I'm not a big fan of the idea. I will say why so AwesomeDude can know why he's crying himself to sleep.

Here is a dropbox link if you want to download. It includes full sized PNGs and PNDs for PaintDotNet users.

Edit: Soggestions was not a typo. Don't you dare soggest that is was.

What if the snake was wrapped around a beer bottle?

hmmmm, I might try that.

LOL looks like we are at an impasse.

Also Suggestion: I voted for beer instead of tongue, but a great compromise is to to add some carbonated bubbles to the yellow liquid and make that part beer. A syringe full of beer is what every TEST member needs!

Wrap that snake around a beer and all will be well with the world. If nothing else that syringe NEEDS carbonation, right now it looks a bit like pisswater (AKA budweiser).

Three quick shots at a beer inside. (Full sized versions added to the Dropbox file). The bubble one looks a bit off so i will take another crack at it later today.

Looking pretty awesome - Is it worth trying it with a head on the beer?

 

[Callahad]

needle pointing down with head on the beer at the top inside syringe?

 

[Callahad]

just pulled that off google images. a beer bottle syringe maybe?

 

[Snakey]

suggestion: MOAR SNAKES!

Plus, Made a more cleaned up version for referance ( - beer)

 

[Snakey]

or maybe this?

I dunno, i was trying to keep it as a more vector kinda style like the rest of our logos. That is a pretty good photoshop of the snake off my thing onto that though.

 

[Snakey]

what about this?

 

[Printimus]

Ok, i just had the best idea, but im terrible at photoshop....hopefully someone can make my idea come true.

So have the beer bottle be the staff, have the snakes go around it as in the picture above, and then have the TEST logo wings where the wings are at in the pic above.

Does this make sense?

In my constant struggle to decide on a SC career to pursue, this discussion has tilted me a bit more towards Medic-ing.

NO!!!!!! THAT SYMBOL IS WRONG!!!!! *rages*

The paragraph in my original thread post explains why.
