Tyranid Army Symbol

[reitifoh]

As I am sure many are aware, for some time now tyranids have not had a banner for our race (or at least, not a well known one), unlike the iconic Crimson Fist Logo, or Ultramarines etc.

Due to a recent loss at my local clubs tournament I have to place my team logo on our equivalent of the "losers leaderboard" to be named and shamed until the next looser claims the dishonour XD.
This has lead me to think of my own unique Logo for my team. As I am constantly nicknaming my team "the bugs" I thought of a bug themed Logo and was wondering what you all thought?




I decided to keep it relatively simple as I do not know how many times I will need to replicate it


What about all of you? if you were to create your own unique Logo for your tyranid army what would it be? please feel free to post them on here as I am curious.

It doesn't have to be just tyranids, while other races do have their own Logo's it could still be fun to create your own banners.

The Nid Faction symbol is the double-Ripper thing. I can't see it anywhere in our Dex for some reason, but it's on Pg.118 in the main Rulebook.

I didn't design my tattoo on my arm SPECIFICALLY as a Tyranid emblem but I can't imagine anything more appropriate. It was originally just a "alien-buggy" symbol since I'm obsessed with those kinds of creatures (Tyranid, Xenomorph, Zerg).

because we don't have a 7th edition codex that includes the faction symbols yet... but yeah, it's in the BRB and i think the campaign supplements have it.

Look up a picture of a Kabutops(sp?) from pokemon. Close enough.

If you check the black library there are a few Tyranid items there..

You would LOVE my army My genestealers are converted to look like xenomorph, my ranged warriors are hydralisks, my biovores are spore crawlers (Sc2), my hgaunts are modded to look like zerglings, I made banelings to use as spore mines, and sculpted an Abathur Monstrosity to use as a deathleaper.

And there is this one which was the symbol for the 1s on our special GW dice.

As has been mentioned we do have a faction symbol already.
somewhere between the ripper ring and the double ripper ring we had a tyranid warrior face as a symbol too.

And to be honest the one you designed doesn't really look Tyranid like at all. There is not a single tyranid with four eyes or insect mandibles, much less both. That is not to say it's a terrible logo. It's a great start for a bug army that actually looks like bugs. I'd keep the color scheme tighter, no more than two colors, and make it less round, but it makes a solid start.

I think it's funny that, other than normally having six legs, Tyranids aren't very bug-like

Jess Goodwin said in an interview once that they were actually originally intended to be more saurian, but, well, 80s GW sculpts were kinda sketchy and they came out more insectoid in some ways, and the nickname stuck.

Thats my secret, Qiln: I always have FBHs.

Does anyone use or like a symbol other than the GW one?

I was doing some searching on google but didnt come up with anything that looks particularly great. Was gonna get a bunch of chessex dice with the draconic reptile eyes to represent 6s because the current symbol doesnt appeal to me all that much, but something cooler is always better
