Creating the Steem Marines' Insignia and Logo
Welcome back to probably one of the coolest things that's going to be happening on steemit.
Now, If you guys are new here, I'll go ahead and give you a TLDR on what the Steem Marine content is. Basically, it's all about bringing Steem to warhammer40k.
Lore, Army, Units and Characters will influenced by supporters and pledgees.

One of the advantages that I have in this project is my experience with design and print.
When making a custom army, things you have to account for is custom heraldry and motifs.
We're starting this off by creating our Imperium of Mankind forces. Which means we're going to be starting by collecting Space Marines, Astra Militarum and any other human forces. I'll get more in-depth with this in another post.
Behold Steem Marines, The symbol of our Faction!
This is a completely vectorized design. You actually won't find this design anywhere else, although obviously, it is based on the Palatine Aquila, which is extremely prominent in the lore of WH40k.
Still, it is my unique take on the symbol, and we have made it our own for the Steem Marines.
Most canon space marine chapters actually have variations and use the Palatine Aquila as heraldry for their chapters.
Here's another variation based on the Palatine Aquila that will be used for our models.
I will be working with @pbock to create some physical emblems based on the Steem Marines' logo.
@pbock creates all kinds of unique 3d printable objects, mostly to due with cryptocurrency, if you guys want to check him out, hit content is pretty sick.
We're definitely going to have to be getting our early supporters some emblems.
This is extremely awesome, as it is one of the 1st steps we have to take to make Heraldry for our Chapter of the Space Marines.
In the next post, we'll be talking more about the ranking sytem, lore, and what is actually required to get things started on the Space Marine production side.
One thing is for sure, I'm going to be coming up with really cool things for Early supporters for this content.

This is very much a work in progress, but I have a very general idea of what it will all look like. Everyday I'm hard at work laying the foundation of what could possibly be one of the coolest things that steemit has ever seen.

Dialogue is completely open, share your opinions, what you think should happen, what I could do, anything. I promise I will reply to your comments. The is one thing that I'm really looking for feedback on, so any feedback is gold to me.
Glory to the Steem Marines !
I'm going to have to read up on the lore of Warhammer 40K now, to see how what other interesting things I can design :)
I'll be alittle distracted for a while though... The beta of Age of Rust has just launched. Retro interactive science fiction story with riddles, and counterparty tokens. there's 4 BTC hidden at the end of the main riddle/enigma trail XD
I like this logo very much, but there is a note: Are you the one who left the other head of the eagle without an eye or is this the logo?
Yeah it's based on the Palatine Aquila, which has one eye. Thanks for your support!
okey ! wonderful symbol .. i like it
Check my last post is a funny video 😃
The Logo is great, i love the first design than the second! But dont know why the eagle sign on the right doesnt have an eye! But generally the design was well worked on.
Thank you very much! Yeah the 1 eye is actually symbolic and has a bit of lore behind it, which is why I kinda went for just going with 1 eye haha. Much love and appreciation!
Ok! Great, since its deliberate. So the first logo wins it☺
great projet dear. i'll join in this discord server let's grow up together

It is interesting how the newer Steemit logo has not gained that much traction. Inside the bird I see how you have used the the old steemit steemy thing as opposed to that new, er green chat bubble thingy. I am guessing that people think more of the steem motif. Great design.
