Displaying Rank Insignia Illustrations
Posted: Sat Apr 01, 2006 8:14 am
Hi Everybody!
Chuck Anderson here!!
I'd like to display (on our UniformInsignia Website) some rank insignia illustrations that I'm working on (in Microsoft Paint), and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to do this, (or even if it can be done at all.) This is basically just going from Point "A" to Point "B". In fact, if there's any easier way of doing this than the way I'm contemplating, I'd appreciate any advice you can give me.
These are going to be illustrations of rank insignia from current, real nations--however--these will be illustrations of ideas I have for changes or modifications of this current rank insignia. (These aren't actual real- world changes that are coming, but rather they're just some hopefully interesting ideas that could actually be used in the real world if the "powers that be" ever chose to consider them.)
Many of them would be "fairly tame", for example, in United States Army enlisted rank insignia, adding a fourth "rocker" to their senior nco ranks, in the same way the United States Marine Corps have. (This has many possibilities for any upcoming one-of-a-kind special appointments, like a Sergeant Major of the Joint Chiefs of Staff or a Sergeant Major of the Department of Defense.)
Perhaps this we could even start another category that could be called something like "Speculative Rank Insignia". This would NOT be the same as Fictive Rank Insignia, (with Starfleet Ranks and the like), because the armed forces of today's nations of the world actually DO exist in the real world and are NOT science fiction.
Just think, we could do Speculative Rank Insignia for ALL nations which could prove an interesting addition (based in reality) to our website.
Anyway, if there's a way that I could submit such rank insignia illustrations as I'm thinking of, any advice would be most welcome. Thanks!! See ya'!!
