*Hammer of Light Squadron Insignia*
***********************************

Created by Ice Heart

I originally created these two insignia for several single player missions that I am building.  I had intended to use the 'Squadron Reassign' option in the Mission Specs editor to reassign pilots to one of the insignia, but it appears that this only works for multi-player.  My slow connection speed and rural location means that I almost never do any multi-player, so I can't use my insignias:(.  So I have decided to release them for anyone whom wishes to use them for multi-player.  I realize that they may seem a little bit roughly done, but this is because they were created in Paint, the only drawing program I currently have on my computer.  I used Microsoft Photoeditor to save them into pcx format.  The insignia backgrounds are intended to be transparent when placed on a fighter, I believe that I have selected the proper transparency color for FS2 but have no way to really test it.  They showed up with transparent background in the insignia selection window for the multi-player pilot I created to see if they showed up properly, so I assume this means they will show up properly in game play.

The insignia is based on one actually seen in a command briefing ani from FS1.  It showed a color picture of the HOL insignia and then a brief scene of several HOL Seth and Horus fighters flying by with the insignia on them.  The insignia was black on those fighters.

There is a total of three HOL insignias in this zip file:

1.)  HOLinsig-black:  This insignia is the original black colored HOL symbol, as closely duplicated from quick drawings (for some reason, I could not get a screen shot of the symbol so I watched the ani a number of times until I managed a rough sketch of the insignia).  It should show up well on lighter colored fighters such as the Seth, Horus, and Serapis.  I doubt it will show up very well on darker fighters such as the Thoth and Tauret.

2.)  HOLinsig-grey:  Exactly like the black insignia, only a light grey color instead.  This version should show up well on darker colored fighters such as the Thoth and Tauret.  I doubt it will show up very well on lighter colored fighters like the Serapis and Horus.

3.)  HOLinsig-col:  This insignia is colored just as it was in the ani that the previous two insignias were based upon.  It is a dark red and yellow in coloration and should show up well on almost any fighter, except perhaps the dark red colored Ares heavy fighter.

To use these insignia, simply place them in your Freespace2/data/players/squads directory.  They should show up in the insignia selection window when you edit your multi-player pilot(s) in FS2.

Feel free to modify or clean up the insignias in any way you wish.  As I said, I really do not have any better drawing program.

If you have any questions/comments regarding the insignias, feel free to e-mail me at:  vasuda_prime@hotmail.com
Finally, if you know of anyway to be able to use a selected insignia in single player, please contact me at the above e-mail address as I would still like to use them in single player mode.

Bon Carnage!
