Garrison V1 logo update

Post by merkava74 » Sat Apr 01, 2023 3:10 pm

Our Garrison logo was inaugurated back in 2007 when we attained our garrison status. While we had 9 other variants featuring different characters, our official logo has never changed. The logo was designed by our member Des Tay, and has grown to be an easily recognised symbol of our Garrison both locally and internationally.

When the Command Team embarked on this update project, we wanted to retain all the elements of our logo, while giving it a modern and updated artistic feel. There was no need to change a good thing, merely to strengthen its message, and for our members to rally behind it. We chose a close friend of the garrison, Dave Liew as the artist for this revision.

The TK remains an icon of our affiliation to the Legion, the red and white colour scheme a reflection of our nationality, and the Lion, another national symbol, a reminder that we are Brave, Fearless and Regal.

To execute the update, we wanted to fully capture the realism of an actual TK replicating the original pose, so that we could vectorise it in the most authentic manner. So we got a trooper (prizes if you can guess who) to suit up for a photo and used that for Dave to vectorise.

We also stylised the imperial cog, lion and borders to give it more depth and weight. The fonts used were also updated for more body, and to differentiate the "5" from "S", as well as the "G" from "6".

The update was approved by the Legion logos team on 1 Apr 23 (No joke :lol: ), and will be used from now on all our future branding and merch items.

We hope the garrison likes the update, and continue to rally behind it.

The comparison of the original logo and the updated one can be seen below:
