Icon Revision Revised!

I swear this is the last time I'm going to do this.  I'm pretty much set on this being the final version of the icon.  I'm very pleased with how it turned out.  I've stated to test print different sizes so I know how I want to print them on my decal paper.  The test sheets look really cool!

For numbers and lettering I've decided to go with the OCR-A font (the font used for the numbers on the bottom of your checks).  It was either that or COPPERPLATE.  I think the OCR font will look more techy.

I've also started working on a joint icon for the team tournament at BoLS Con.  We're doing Space Marine / Tau.  They're big on story at that and I want to do something a little extra.  I'm thinking doing T-Shirts too!
