Battlestar Galactica 2004 My first attempt at designing a BSG symbol.

It's a symbol of the 12 colonies (Triangles) leaving Kobol (Circle)

(I drew it w/ the circle up top, but this looked better)

What do you think?

I'm working on more symbols (at least 2) that all have the number 13 incorporated into them.

I like the 1st better, but here is another idea.

12 smaller triangles around the 13th bigger one.

Gravitas,

Nice job.

One thought, though, wouldn't the circle, in the first symbol, represent Kobol?

I like this board, it has no edit limit.

It looks pretty neat.

I think you also may want to try a varient where the circle is on the other side, so it looks like all the arrows are all coming from Kobol.

Thanx.

Do you mean to make a version where the "ships" (Triangles) are returning to Kobol (Circle)?

I think visually the starting points of the triangles would be the smallest point. So to me it could be interpreted as all these ships explored space and two hit Kobol.

Same idea (12 colonies leaving Kobol), just a different configuration.

What do you think?
