I know this may sound stupid but I'm so proud of being a Brown Coat that I would like to display something in my home to let every one who visits me know what I am. Perhaps someone out there could design some sort of "official" document that we could print out. Maybe something with a cool graphic or picture. Then I could frame it and hang it in my home. I'm sure there's some creative genius' out there. Am I the only one who would like something like this?

Nope, nope, you are not alone! Just hadn't thought of it, bless you for doing so! I put my vote in too, for something to declare my happy addition to the rank and file Browncoats.

Nuclearday is right, there is plenty of talent here, let's hope they notice this post and help us out.

Yep, I'd be up for that, too! I don't have an artistic bone in my body, though, so I'll have to rely on the talent of others ...

MAL: We're still flying.
SIMON: That's not much.
MAL: It's enough.

Maybe something like Offical Discharge papers from the Independence Army, Citations for "above and below the call", service record of battles participated in? Things like that might look good with a set of dogtags and a Browncoat patch in a collage like thingy.

I am a graphics geek IRL...if you can all decide what you want, I can pretty much create anything. I just need more details.

Ok...I am forming some ideas....my dad had some old Navy certificates that I vaguely remember....

One question. Does anyone know what the browncoat flag is supposed to look like?

Is it the green & yellow stripes with the black star? Can anyone point me towards some art?

You can see a pic of the Browncoat emblem here; www.browncoatpatches.com
I assume it's the symbol for the Independants also.
Also I searched e-bay for "army discharge papers", the have some examples from many different wars. Might want to check that out.

Something for the ladies? Why not a diploma from a companion training house.
Still thinking of things.

I'm more of a fan of simple, yet meaningful.

Something like the Serenity logo, in the same style as on the side of the ship (maybe a faded-paint effect?) to frame. Or a big Blue Sun logo {^^}. Perhaps something even simpler, like a calligraphed 静寂?

But, that's just my style. KF

After reading your ideas it gave me a few of my own.
I was thinking that it would be some kind of document that had a space for my name that declared me to be an "official browncoat".
Somewhere have the "Serenity" logo that's on the ship and a quote from the show like," If you can't do something smart, do something right."
Am I hoping to much that it be signed by Joss?
Well, whatever you talent mongers can come up with will be fine by me. I'll keep looking in the Sun room to see what you come up with.
Thanks a lot.
Anybody else got any ideas how it should look?

OK, you have seen some of my ideas. There are many, many, many more. I need to see some examples of what you can do. I am wiling to commission art work to talented people. I have the Vision but never achieved the ability.
