I've looked at these insignia for a while, and I've come to wonder one thing: why do Private, Sergeant, and Lieutenant all have bars, while the others don't? On Conquer Club, is a lieutenant a non-com? Are privates and sergeants commissioned? Or does the change in rank insignia style indicate soemthing entirely different?

They are what they are because that's what they looked liked on the website I ripped them from
It would be great if they had different background colours or borders or something special for premium members.
If there are any talented iconographers out there who would like to design new, stylish insignia with more military consistency, please speak up!

If you're interested in real US Army rank insignia,
this site seems to have a full set. If you'd like, I could iconify the appropriate ones for you from there, in standard and premium flavors. I notice that the bars CC uses for a sergeant actually belong to a corporal, and the ones CC uses for a lieutenant actually belong to a sergeant.
On the other hand, if you're looking for wholly fictitious and unique insignia, possibly that could be arranged as well...

Can we try keep the major symbol, I really like that, even if it's not official. I don't think very many people here care about the icons being the official ones... besides I'm sure they vary from country to country anyway.

That's interesting, wac. The
page I got them from seemed to be saying it was the other way around.

I think it kinda makes sense to have premium as gold though and non-premium as silver... I don't know why, it just seems to make sense... You know, gold being more valuable than silver.

In case lack does decide to mix and match, here's a silver version of the current major icon:

lol, actually that was my title when I was still in boot, but after that I bacame an airman for a while instead since I decided fixing planes was far better than being stuck at see for 6 months.

I'm still Navy for about 3 more weeks than I'm free, lol. But I made it up to Petty Officer Second Class, E-5. Witch would put me as a Technical Sergent in the Airforce I believe. But it wasn't to bad a job I have to say, but not something I'd want to do for a lifetime. Well, back to the origonal thread I guess, got a little off topic here, sorry, lol.
