Official Hexes and Soldiers banner unveiling

  Here she is, the Official Hexes and Soldiers banner.  Additionally, the ASL leader/US flag logo will remain as the show's alternate logo. 

What's in a name?  Graphic design as representation-

As the obvious is often overlooked, there can't be anything more obvious then the name of a particular thing.  As such, this has become big business these days for a name, effectively rendered, can result in an overwhelming intention of interest.    Corporations and companies the world over have spent mega bucks on research and development when it comes to the presentation of their monickers and for one simple reason, it works.  In fact, some could argue that it works too well.  With logos and Trademarks burned into our brains, we now come to associate more with the name of the thing rather than the thing itself (think Coca Cola).  But the power of a name is powerless without a complimentary framework.  Or do you really think you are impervious to  the box art of wargames? So what's the point?  My point is this, I'm not after a trance inducing, zombie rendering conglomeration but rather an air of legitimacy.   That said, after much consideration (perhaps a bit too much) i feel that the above banner is an accurate skin which faithfully sheaths the core of the show.   After all, if i threw up a pic of Beetle Baily and a crayon sprawled name in a rainbow of colors, you might get the wrong idea :) 
Thanks for reading.
