Shoulder Service Insignia
Description
On a blue silhouetted right cylinder 3 inches (7.62 cm) in height and 2 inches (5.08 cm) in width overall within a 1/8 inch (.32 cm) with a Maroon Central Stripe, 3 stars arrayed above a Unicorn’s Profile with the point of a bayonet in the background. A sunburst in the foreground at the bottom
Symbolism
The Blue background alludes to the vastness of space and the branch color of the infantry. The maroon central stripe is homage to the presently serving seconded Imperial Marines within the brigade, but also legacy of of the unit origins form the Imperial Marine cadre that founded the unit after the 2nd Frontier War. The Three stars are in remembrance of the Thrid, Fourth and Fifth Frontier Wars where the brigade fought with valor and steadfast loyalty to the Imperium. That very loyalty and service in the Imperial Army is again seen in the sunburst in the foreground. The Unicorn’s profile is the personal crest of the Duke of Regina, of which the brigade serves as the primer household troops, but also represents the “Emergent Unicorn” (also known as the Bridled Steed) constellation spanning the Chronor and Jewell subsectors and recalls the fierce battles where the Huscarles gave the supreme sacrifice during the Third Frontier War in the service of their Duke and the 3rd Imperium. The bayonet point in the background is the current steadfast vigilance and readiness to defend the spinward marches now and in the future.

Very inspiring image. I liked the symbolism.
I like it. May I inquire to what software you are using to create the logo? Earlier this morning I posted a few mercenary unit logos I created using Inkwell Ideas Heraldry app, but its limited.
I used some PS and basically powerpoint. Sorry nothing fancy. Looking forward to seeing your work .
Not to be picky, but why is the shoulder insignia different from the unit crest?
The crest is a distinctive unit insignia, this is a shoulder sleeve insignia…check out the US Army Institute of Heraldry.
Love your design! And I’m wondering if you have that unicorn as a vector file… I could certainly find some good use for it!
