[ART][META] Sketchdump - it's astroball season!

[M Fnord]

Well, okay, not really. But the principle is the same.

Anyway, I was in a doodling mood, and in an otherwise unrelated email Rob asked me to put together a logo for the L5 All-Stations. And I did:


That got the ball rolling, and when the madness cleared, I had logos for the four founding teams of the astroball league. In order for the wiki page, we have the USAF Fighting Wings:


The Starfleet Academy Cadets:

(This one's based off of an ENT-era Starfleet flag I found at Memory Alpha.)

And last but not least, the Crystal Kyoto Knights:

(This one's kinda cheap, since I dug into my DVD of heraldry clipart to make it. But enh, it's nice just the same.)

..and that's all, for the moment. If any of the rest've you have got ideas for the other un-logoed teams, feel free to play art director.

An entrant in the logo competition for the Kandor Vigilantes. I apologize, as it seems all my .pngs wind up transparent:

Only because we're a year early. The astroball season starts the day after the Baseball All-Star Game, but the first season is in 2011.

Again, thank you.

Hey, it beats the "rainbow-coloured top hat" I was picturing...

Trying to think of a good name for 36 Atalante's team. Here's a few that I thought of:

Blackhawks

Ravens

Lone Stars

Hell Raisers

Barn Burners

Wild Cards

At this time, kinda leaning towards Wild Cards because it plays to the Roughriders' multi-factional nature.
EDIT: Also, if the US Navy fields a team, we can call them the USN Bubbleheads since they spin-off from the Silent Service anyhow.  Mascot can be a 'submariner' wearing a traditional 'bubble-head' space suit.

I do like that one. Nice and simple, like a good team logo should be.

Teddy Bears. And no, I'm not going to explain. You should know this one already.

Too bad I have almost no artistic ability this way. If I did, I'd be taking inspiration from http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1764071680/tt0046534]this movie for the Martian War Machine's logo, remembering their colours are red and black, not green.

(And it's pretty obvious what their astroball ships look like, right?)
