8chan allows users to create their own boards, and seems 'open' for the time being. But I don't think they support Tor or anything like that.

Re: Night Ops patches

Glad you like it. The problem with full length picks is that they looked cumbersome when crossed, so I simply cut the traced shapes in half at the handle and it looks more symmetrical that way. Now I'm thinking I need to somehow turn up the contrast or vectorize the rough outlines, turn them green a...

The hexagon could be replaced with a pentagon and in that way represent the idea of the knife from the original, or maybe just CIA secrets. Every image should stand for something.

Neon green on black background seems to be the agreed colors of the "branch" so to speak. It would be less crowded by forgoing the knife entirely, leaving only the insignia of the crosspicks, perhaps enlarged. I think it's important to distinguish between a coat of arms design, which could be more e...
