Description Bah! It's been months since I made these symbols, but I only just remembered that I still needed to add them to dA!

I created these for a contest to redesign the Transformers symbols. I ended up winning the contest, so my designs were created as stickers (of course, I was given a set for free) and are available for purchase from reprolabels.com [link] . Plus, I won some a neat Transformer that would've otherwise cost me 80 bucks.

The redesign was pretty simple... I just reimagined the original symbols from a profile instead of their normal face-front look and then stylized them a bit. I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out.

That's cool...

When I saw the Decepticon one, I was all like, "OMG! IT'S THE PREDATOR'S HELMET!!!......No wait.... Nevermind..."

I love the fact that you took the signs, made a dimensional change, and came up with something so utterly cool-looking!

Awesome re-design. it almost remind me of military tatoos or football logos. But what strikes me as odd is that the Decipticon logo looks a lot like...Optimus Prime.

Extremely cool, although I mistakenly thought they were head on, but with only one half of the face visible. A second later, I realised that they were side on, I'm so used to seeing the standard faction symbols.

Saw these on Repro and did a quick google in the hope of actually finding out what they were. Since I have a Devart account I thought I'd tell you I like them. I'm probably going to 'kitbash' a transformer now just to justify putting some of these symbols on it. I've no idea what I'd expect a 'Neo-Classical' transformer to look like though. A bit like the originals, only stylised in a more contemporary style... actually, maybe I'm going to be too lazy to do somthing like that.

its a very cool redesign, simple, clean, but much more agressive then the orginal logos. good job.
