sadly, no. It's geoblocked in australia and I can't find (yet) a DVD version of it.

I started a wiki called Fictional Semiotics which deals with fictional visual identity (Flags, emblems, uniforms, etc...) feel free to contribute. The only limit is that it must come from a professionally published IP (book, movie, video game, TV series, etc...) and not a personal creation. https://...

Marc, Just wondering if you're planning on doing up a table of ranks for the Republic of Quebec (and posting on here)? will be binge watching the show at some point so I'll keep my eyes peeled. So far based on the pictures I posted, I would assume they will largely retain the Unification Era Canadi...

Would Québec adopt the CAF uniform (which was intended, after all, to be non-British for the most part), or would they invent something or (less likely, I'd think) adopt e.g. French rank insignia? You have to remember that quebec was conquered by the british back in 1763 so that not only do Quebeco...

A new french-canadian alternate history tv comedy will be shown starting next week called "La Maison Bleue". It takes place in 2016 in a timeline where the Yes side won the 1995 referendum so that Quebec is now an independent republic. The story centers on the current president of Quebec, ...

I'm wondering what would be the best way to carry over datas. For one thing, I'd rather not copy over images without the permission of their graphic designer. I guess we could redo the images when feasible and give a "source" credit. We could try to reach to people and simply encourage the...

Anyone should feel free to add a page or edit existing ones, you don't even need to sign in (unless of course we end up with spam problems). I'll see how I can give admin privilege to admins from the forum who wants them.

smilies-30 I think it might be fair to assume that Pavel has moved on to other projects. Considering the site and domain name still work, I would further assume however that he or someone else still pay for upkeep so at least we have the forum. As I suggest every year or so, If we want to have an u...

I posted the rank insignias of the International Fleet in the movie Ender's Game

https://insignias.fandom.com/wiki/Ender%27s_Game_(Film)

screenshots from the upcoming sci-fi movie Ad Astra. I've been wondering what uniform this is meant to be. It appears to be a dark green jacket and tie with a black shirt. At first I thought the the main character, who is an astronaut, was meant to be part of a future "Space Corps" but one...

Can anyone do a wellness check on Pavel? I have just now being able to log in. for some reason, the interface simply refused to log me in or event send me a new password and when I managed to go past the first hurdle, it asked me to solve a capcha despite showing a picture that read "capcha so...

correction, I accidentally inverted the 2 top ranks.

in the novel, while Goldstein's book and its content was created by The Party and is thus of dubious veracity, there is no particular reason to doubt the passage which describe Oceania as being the US which annexed a large number of territories. For that reason, Oceania's rank insignias could be bas...

Great work, Mark! Just one point: how d'you think the Muslims, Hindus, Jews, Buddhists, etc would react to wearing a cross? Or the Christians to wearing an inverted cross? The four and five-dots ranks perhaps would do better with a circular or diamond-shaped arrangement... wouldn't you say? didn't ...

The insignias look good but to me the system looks visually and its application too much like some sort of US-canadian joint organisation. A world system to me would be one that is modular as it would originally have had to allow for national armed forces with various number of ranks not only overal...

HI EVERYBODY
SEE POST 22ND MAY 2017

Not sure I understand. Are you bumping the thread in regard to your post 2 years ago or did you post something on the 22nd of may 2017 in another thread ?

If the former, I share your pain and wish I could help, if the later, link ?

Based on the discussion regarding new french national police insignias and the pressure from the gendarmerie that the police not adopt military insignias, here are some alternate ones that take inspiration from existing ones and from other institutions. Note that the ranks are not the current ones b...

In regard to the backstory, I had worked on one for an Alt-history setting and the way I saw it maybe the best way would be for an alternance of civil wars, successor states and then reunifications. In this sense, it would be similar to Chinese history. China is usually considered a country that has...

The Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem is a catholic order of knighthood. in addition to the usual jewelry, it uses beret patches as rank insignias:

Good work. Is the film worth watching? I see it's on Youtube. really is a matter of taste. I like it but I can see how other might not considering its in black and white, filmed on a shoe string budget, the vast majority of characters are played by non-professional actors and many scene consist sol...

I have got around to rewatching this movie put up the info I have so far here including the Immediate Action ranks:

a ceremonial uniform based around the traditional male greenland costume (seen worn here with medal by the danish prince-consort) could work. It reminds me of the use of a hoodie by the canadian rangers: [img]http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/07/23/22/2AC8A3BD00000578-3172593-Queen_Margrethe_and_P...

I think you might need to decided whether you are basically doing an integral roman empire with modern guns or a roman empire that has evolved over the past 2 millenias. If the former, getting equivalency will be a bit hard. Centurions rose from the troops to have responsabilities and an autonomy of...

I finally got around to do the Confederate States Air Force. The concept was that like the Royal Air Force, the confederate air force was formed by integrating the army air component and its naval counterpart. in the same way as the RAF, the insignias take inspiration from its parent services but th...

So where do we go from here I know I sent him a lot of images for updates for Canada and Australia Happy to put on other website its a shame since this one is a good can we start a mirror I know I asked Pavel a few times to be able to be allowed to upload direct and edit rights so I could do my own...

My last contact with Pavel was some 4 or 5 years ago. Since then I don't know what's going on with him.His last activity on facebook was in September 2015.

so exactly when the last update was made. Not good.

well the site went down a few months ago but then back up so hopefully he's just been busy ?

That being said, don't editors have access to the encyclopedia directly ?

If anyone has seen or familiar with the 1966 Alternate History film "It Happened Here", there is a scene with a large poster showing uniforms and insignia of the British Union of Fascists/Immediate Action group. The costumes were all designed by John Mollo for the film,by the way. Has any...

Two things that are not very important: - the first version of the maple-leaf roundel was introduced just after WWII, by 1947 at least (http://www.canmilair.com/schemes.htm; http://www.vintagewings.ca/VintageNews/Stories/tabid/116/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/382/Roundel-Round-Up.aspx) - I'm n...

thanks. good catch.

while reading the books, I took some notes about any mention made about uniforms. Unfortunatly, I lost a few pages and only have what I had transcribed for a few of them. Based on what I have, I made the following page: http://insignias.wikia.com/wiki/Southern_Victory_(Book_Series) if anyone feels l...

Most country post WW2 which were either back by the USSR or leaning toward it adopted russian style insignias unless they had pre-existing ones not linked too closely with the previous regime. As the insignias used in Manchukuo would most definatly be linked with the imperial government, I would ass...

Here is the collar insignia for Bower taken from a prop auction site (a great source of information for fictional uniform and insignias by the way) Very nice find. Is that from screenused.com? I know I found similar pictures, but the ranks weren't as visible. propstore: http://www.propstore.com/pro...

rank insignias worn by ship personnel in the movie Pandorum:

Unfortunately, only 4 ranks are shown on screen and oddly enough, it jump from corporal to Lieutenant with no apparent possible design in between.

The rank insignias worn by the sontarans in their most recent appearances. Only 3 ranks as far as I know have been shown on screen Though considering how belligerent the species is, this might be representative of their approach to warfare.

Regarding this idea, the CSA already has a tradition of using regular 5-pointed stars, I don't think that they would suddenly change to a stylized version. For company or field grade pips designs, many countries use flowers or leaves in their insignia. The magnolia would be a good choice because it...

A variant of the scheme I described above would be that the CSAF woul be a unified service that would have adopted modified naval insignias for enlisted (propellers instead of anchors) and modified army insignias for officers. This would require 3 types of "pips": for the company officers,...

It basically comes down to how to see the air force being formed. Did it start out as an army air/flying corps (as in the US) or as a merger of air elements of army and navy (as in UK and Commonwealth). It might be interesting to not have an air force as a separate service, but have the army and na...

the naval insignias that goes with them.

I'm thinking of doing Air Force next but unlike the previous 2, It's obviously impossible to extrapolate them from those used during the Civil War. Any suggestion apart from the RAF ?
