I'm not opposed to re-doing the logo Joe, even if it's just to print them out in greater resolution. But my thinking was the figures I make from the old AT:

wear the original logo, while the members of the new AT, which is a product of EXCAL, should probably wear something different bu similar:

I went with different colors while adding a shield which I thought would complement the theme. If it doesn't say AT, I'm fine tweaking it. should the symbol be larger? Traditional colors? Is placing it in the shield something that works?

Thanks for the comments on the rest everyone

Ok
Blown up I can see it but not when it's small.
I have a weird kind of color blindness and or night vision. I'm not totally color blind but, when something is mainly orange I can't see it, the orange covers or blurs everything. Road cones are a [LASER BLAST] for me to comprehend. It's like looking a a light at night and seeing the glow aura (spears) that surround it. So red with Black is easy, orange with green that small looks like a picture of an orange tree in reverse. Even with the larger picture you provided I have to look through my fingers to see it without getting eye pains.
I have too many rods and not enough cones in my eyes. So I can see really well in the dark, provided there isn't too much unnatural light. When that happens it looks like an open shutter photo at night. Put me in the woods at night and it's heaven.
Another reason to Hate Vegas.

So yes the shield with the symbol is cool and just diffrent enough but I think a darker shield with the red and black symbol would stand out more. Even if you reversed the red and black.
And I could see it better. :shifty: ;-)

Ok, I've made some small updates to the team here, starting with the new logo. Joe, I agree with you that what I started with wasn't executed that well. And I think I can make this still look like a new EXCAL version of the team by simply adding the shield while keeping the old logo intact. I touched before on the new AT's role, and I really am starting to see them as being more intertwined with the regular EXCAL teams as well. Science sends them in to investigate some new threat or development, or some new artificact that needs to be saved. If it's up their alley, they finish the job, and case closed. If they discover the threat to be more in the Knights' jurisdiction, then they call someone in, and continue to aid the Knight's team by serving as intel on the ground, guides when needed, and of course back up. I think it creates more fun interaction that way.

Anyway, here are the minor updates. New logo for each. detailed the goggles on Dozer (and providing a reference shot for the head that is his base (admittedly his skin tone is not my smoothest paint job ever, but it was done a long time ago). Touched up a rough spot on Cleo's left arm, and new gear for Flint (including a beret I'm not sold on, but he's usually going to be without it anyway).
