Jane Sagan - patch rough dsn

EDIT: Here is a link to a picture of the finished patch:

This is a rough design of the military patch that I would like to create for my planned Jane Sagan ("Old Man's War") dress uniform.

I call it the "Phoenix-and-torch" motif.

I used Phoenix for two reasons: a central planet of the Colonial Union is called Phoenix, and The Ghost Brigades (of which Ms. Sagan is a part) is made up of clones of people who have already passed on (which is sort of phoenix-like).

The torch is there because it has been a military motif for generations. The idea here is to have the phoenix be the flame that is emerging from the torch.

This is a rough sketch that I did on graph paper. I plan to turn the scan into a prettier JPG and eventually get it embroidered as a patch. We'll see how far I can take it.
