We are thinking along the same lines.

I'd wear a button! Probably not a patch though.

I was actually thinking of "MTL" crossed vertically by "ATL" with sun wheel spokes. Is that too White Power? Red thread, round patch, or maybe even a button.

This all the way, keep it simple and recognizable.

Who is this a drawing of? I like it. I also like the other idea with just A[inverted cross]L.
It's former GA governor and current goat zombie Lester Maddox.

I think the suggestions for something simple and recognizable may be the more effective idea, though.

Not meaning to jump in on this but I needed a break from work so I drew this for fun.

Likey. A little blocky for a round patch, though, no?

This is a good idea, and I like the example above, but is there a way to screw with the perspective to make the cross look more like a "t"? Like ... raising it up in relation to the other two letters, and maybe gathering the tops of all the letters together so that they all appear to be radiating downward from a central point? Sort of a ... triangular logo?

If I had the least bit of artistic talent I'd supply a visual aid, but I feel such a display would be more harmful than helpful.

I flailed around in paint.net (with MikeIll's letters) to see for myself what it might look like, and all I seemed to do was create a satanic logo for someone named Al. Maybe you could sell the design to Ministry.

Yeah. Wasn't really thinking about that I was just fucking around.

I think I get what you mean. I'll give it a shot this weekend when I am wasting my life on a plane.

Maybe something like this? Obviously cleaned up and nice and symmetrical but you get the idea. Could also add drippy gore between letters if everyones into it.

Oh hells yes, that's spiffy, and you took care of the problem I noticed after my last post: A and L are the least symmetrical letters to begin and end a logo with.

Now we just have to fit ~The City Too Busy to Hate~ onto there. And maybe the image of a boiling radiator to signify our swiftly moving highway traffic.

Or yeah drippy gore and cobwebs and tombstones.

I think if we add something, it should be a really evil looking phoenix (burning of Atlanta) or something. The drippy gore thing's been done to death.
