Let's start using this again, folks. I'm going to do my best to filter through and sort the various design suggestions and provide feedback, take it as you will.
Behold, the Design Megapost!
Outfit Design Suggestions so far (in no particular order):
#1 RedGreenBlue
#2 seppawku
#3 Vic
#4 wiltingMyosotis
Logo/Flag Design Suggestions:
#1 Schazer
#2 CSJ
On Flags:
The most important rule of vexillology is that the details have to be legible from a great distance. If you can't see the details or colours, then you can't easily identify the flag. I think Schazer's symbol uses too many similar pastel colours and the designs inside the symbol are hard to see. Mine is not perfect either - the green lilypad makes the heads harder to spot, but it does show off our motif better (imo). If someone wants to take my design and improve it, please do. I'll make a flag version later otherwise.
On Outfits:
RGB's design is my current favourite, based mainly on the co-ordinated look. Some nice touches like Tube's headset and the usb logo connects to our three heads and hydra motif. I think Fennel and Windy would benefit from more practical uniforms (can TCPs feel cold?) but I can live with it.
seppawku's ideas are good in parts, though there's less connection to our motifs and style. Windy should keep those fingerless gloves given their parkour skillz. The others? not so much.
Vic - you may feel a little imposed by the others, but I like the incorporation of a pin across the team as a means of identification. It allows each TCP to have a more unique style. Is that a flat cap on Tubes?
wiltingMyosotis - Nice designs, but like you said yourself, not much to suggest we're all on the same team. Bandanas are pretty and appropriate.
Overall: All these designs have good elements that can be combined to make a greater whole. I can't give much advice for Fennel since I can't recall seeing her powers, but each TCP should have an outfit that will supplement theirs.
For headwear, I recommend going for a subtly rebellious look. Fennel would totally rock a phrygian cap. My suggestions are to have some sort of robe/outer garment and a lapel or badge (cockades are a famous historical example used by French revolutionaries and many others) as team gear. The rest can be personalised.
