alright so here are some color schemes i've thought of (feed back and other options of use would be helpful)

blue and black
green and black
green and white
blue and white
red and black

alot of these are already in use
we use a dead tree as our emblem, so we've been trying to find a color scheme that sortof goes with the whole deadwood concept unfortunately black and green are taken :finger: so then while sitting here i was thinking maybeeee brown black and white could work maybe lets ask the rest of the founders and see what we agree on

The Hakuturi Clan uses green and brown with purple trim

Desert Wind is Yellow Blue and white

Hope this helps.

You know, there are only a very few possible two-color combinations that use normal or heraldic colors. Why not pick whatever colors you want, then use them in a way no one else does? If you want to do Black and Gold, go for it, just don't cut your stuff so you look like a wannabe Hellhammer or Golden Lion. If you wanna do red and black, go for it, just don't end up looking like the EBF.

A unique symbol (or, in heraldic terms, device) helps with this, too.

A specific dead tree symbol in black standing on a black base on a field of green sounds perfectly workable to me.

Check out event pictures to see popular color schemes. There are only so many colors that look cool together. Don't show up looking like another unit. Be careful about symbol choice. No one likes feeling like they have been ripped off.

Ummm, no if you were to see the symbol it has nothing to do with Twilight. Although i suppose, a big fan of Twilight would be able to make the connection :fingers:

I think Angmarth has a post about Heraldry- many have theirs on there- from unit, realm and individual.

Blade wouldn't use a spike, though, he'd use a carbon fiber-shafted arrow with a head made out of hand-sharpened African ironwood launched from a crossbow with a laser rangefinder, ACOG sight, Ti-N finish, and carbon nanotube string.

And then they'd all explode.
