Discussion - Win Prizes! - The Resolutes - Dressed for Success
We
need some sort of uniform and/or patch and symbol for the Task
Force/Resolutes. However, I readily admit I'm not a good at this type
of thing, so here's the idea.
A contest.
Who: Anyone. Though actively involved in Living Supers
(player, GM, judge, etc) is encouraged, it is not required. You must
have your e-mail working on your EnWorld account so I can contact you
if needed. The only one not eligible to participate would be me.
What: I want proposals for a patch/icon for the Resolutes, as well as a
potential uniform (or set of uniforms, so there is a choice for the
fashion conscious). A written description is a must, but images would
be good as well.
Where: Here in Living Supers
How: Posting here. Post the pictures and descriptions here.
Descriptions and pictures can be as detailed or bland as you want, but
they will ultimately be judged. I will be the final judge, but the
other Living Supers judges, as well as others, will have some input.
When: Entries will need to be received in by the end of March 19th (so, Midnight Pacific time on march 20th).
Why: Well, because I'm offering prizes! The winner will receive a PDF
copy of Mutants and Masterminds 2.0 (or potentially something else of
equivalent value) provided at my own expense. There may be other prizes
as well, per my whim (and/or other donations).
Details: No copyrighted images or text should be submitted, and all text and images submitted become property of the living supers
campaign (which, being open, means it's free for all to use). Winner(s)
will be selected by preference and other methods at my discretion. I
reserve the right to revise the contest at any time up and until
submissions have been concluded.
Any questions? Drop me an e-mail and put Living Supers Contest somewhere in the subject.

I'll kickstart this with an entry, I think.
Logo:
Based of a forward-slanted/italic R, with the
"spine" and the "leg" represented by a stylized forked lightning. The
arch of the R is represented by a bright arc of energy from the top to
the fork. Behind the arc, a design of an earth-like planet is
"watermarked", one hemisphere under the arc, the other to the left of
the spine. The background is black
Following is a crude image that may or may not help visualizing the logo. A better image may follow.
Code:
...o/o}
..o/o}

./..\
/....\

Suit Description:
The uniform of the Resolutes is a one-piece body stocking, that is made
of a suitibly advanced super-science material such that it is undamaged
by its wearer's powers, in point of fact, each is fitted to the
Resolute (powers, and size). The Uniform also comes with gloves and
boots.
There are two main color schemes for the uniform, green with a yellow
stripe running down the body's midline (with matching gloves and
boots), for more visible occasions, and a second uniform of two tones
of blue for more discrete functions. These are the standard that
everyone is provided with.
Customization: Resolutes have a great deal of latitude in their
uniform, so long as the standard design elements are there, including
the Resolute emblem over the Left breast. Resolutes have at their
option, the length of sleeves (sleeveless is an option). Also at the
Resolute's option is the colors in the uniform, so long as it remains
two-toned, as unrelieved black is deemed undesireable from a PR
standpoint.
The emblem is an R with a Globe functioning as the inner part, it would go above the left breast.

Hello!
While I'm not involved currently in the Living
Super Heros, it's only due to lack of a rulebook. Therefore, I'm
entering this contest in the hopes of acquiring one so that I can join
you all! I've read the whole thread of the first adventure and it looks like great fun so far.
So here are my ideas without further interruption. For the patch/icon,
I envision an "R" that is 3 dimensionsal (not really 3-D, but made to
look that way) and formed of stone or marble to symbolize the hard and
strong resolute
aspect of it's members. The "R" would have a lightning bolt going
through it passing through the upper hole in the "R", then behind it
out of sight, then reapearing between the forks of the "R's" legs.
Behind all of this would be a world globe giving the patch it's final
circular shape with the bolt going up and down between the north and
south pole. The patch could be located anywhere on the uniform as long
as it's visible (over the breast, as the belt buckle, on a headband or
armband, etc.).
For the costumes, I envision the following. All uniforms will have a
white stripe going down the center (front and back) from the neck to
the groin area. The white stripe also goes from the neck down the
outside of the arms over the elbow to the gloves as well as from the
groin area down the inner thighs to the top of the boots. The stripe on
the front and back should be a little wider than the neck of the hero
wearing it and the arm and leg stripes should only be an inch or two
wide. The white represents that they are the good guys. The rest of the
uniform can be any two colors with one color for the gloves, boots,
belt, and optional headgear. The other color would be over the rest of
the body in jumpsuit fasion or maybe skirts for the girls if they
desire it. Of course the material should be power resistant and mutable
for shapechangers, etc.
And now, we have pictures of my proposals below...

The Resolutes are nickname for the UN Task Force of Supers that Living Supers is based upon. Best thing to do is read the Campaign Information thread.

Yet another "I'd play if I had the book."
Without further ado, I present my entry . . . with visual aids.
The team logo consists of an archaic brass key with “RESOLUTE” fitted
into the fob. The key is oriented vertically on a field of white,
surrounded by a black border.
The task force uniform has been designed to maximize the visual
recognition of the team while still allowing individual team members
the ability to customize their personal appearance. In an effort to
avoid garish or unsightly costumes, color choices are limited to the
neutrals (black, white, grey and brown) and up to two other colors of
the team member’s choice. The Fab Five have been retained as advisors
for any member who shows poor color sense. Individual items may have
further color restrictions, see below.
The task force uniform consists of the following items, with exceptions allowed for members with non-standard anatomies.
Black, calf-length boots.
Full length, close-cut pants, any solid neutral color.
Solid neutral colored belt with small silver buckle (if desired). A personal logo* may be embossed on the buckle.
Sleeveless, collared, close-cut tunic. Task force patch (3” x 6”) shall
be placed on the back, near the right shoulder blade. Tunic may be of
any solid neutral or chosen color. An optional form-fitting undershirt
with sleeves of any length may be worn under tunic if desired, in any
solid neutral color.
Gloves are optional, but if worn shall be close cut in any solid or chosen color.
Headgear is allowed if desired, but must follow color guidelines. Impractical or visually unappealing headgear is discouraged.
* No text or letters. No crude or offensive imagery. No trademarked symbols.
Images:
1: the logo
2: iceman - simple, but elegant.
3: burninator - tries out two colors
4: angel - ooh, monochrome and headgear.

Hiya!
Okay, I now have a BMP file of the patch I proposed above but
can't figure out how to add it to my above post. I don't have a website
to store the image online so I'm not sure how to upload it from my
computer. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Okay, got my images attached to my above post so you can better see my ideas. Thanks for the help!

When
editing your post (While logged in, hit the "edit post" button at the
bottom right) scroll down from the text window to the area marked
"Additional Options" Should be a small area labled "Attach Files" with
a "Manage Attachments" Button. That will bring up a window (possibly
pop-up blocked?) that will allow you to browse for the file on your
computer and upload it to ENWorld.

Spandex- that's so 70s
My suggestions (wouldn't mind taking a shot at that PDF, maybe then I could play  )
boots black- whatever style you want
pants- Khaki cargo pants (with built-in protection at knees, insert smart guy remark here  )
Belt- can be fitted with pouches or holster as neccessary R buckle enclosed in circle
shirt-dark toned shirt of your choosing
black leather jacket fitted to stop at waist (with built in protection at shoulders and elbows)
R patch- 3" by 3'" Chrome R on left chest with words "Stand firm" cut
into it. The R is blocky to give a sense of heft and solidity. The
words are horizontal. Stand at the top above the hole in the R, Firm
just below the hole. The black leather showing underneath the cut out
letters would highlight the words.
codename in raised black letters on right side of jacket corresponding to placement of r logo.
Headgear- as you wish

Shalimar, send me an e-mail. I'll send out the PDF on April 1st (When i next get paid).
Thank you everyone for your submissions, and do remember that
Shalimar's design left a little bit of play with the colors to suit
your needs.
I won't make anyone change their pictures, since some people may have
had suits before hand, but keep in mind the uniform in your description
if you write a detailed one.
I'll put this into the other threads shortly.
