In lieu of a better place on the forum to record these thoughts:

JTF-666 Motto - “Invictus”
Naming considerations:
Joint Task Force - too close to real military terminology? ‘Joint’ = Joe/Cobra/MARS
666 - superstitious (no JTF designation) /heavy metal music reference (Melbourne is unofficial music capital of Australia) no finest unit with a ‘6’ in desgination?
Invictus - meaning - ‘unconquerable’ linked to wounded warriors, utilise letters ‘V’ ‘I’ ‘C’
I have had run-ins with folks who were very sensitive about 666. On the Central Defense garrison (Midwest USA) page, we made a post pointing out our 666 like with what we thought was a pretty obvious Iron Maiden reference. We had a couple folks call us sick and immediately unlike and block the page. I’m sure it’s a very small minority of folks who would take it that far, but it is something to consider especially starting out and trying to build contacts and a network.
If you’re open to outside suggestion, one idea might be to use 6, or even the numeral VI to make it JTF6 or JTF-VI. That would also play into InVIctus.
Area of Representation = state of Victoria, Australia
Historical significance = 1901 Capital of Australia,
Military History = WWI home of 4th Light Horse Regiment, WWII Allied Command - Pacific Theatre, naval shipyards and present ADF JTF (Training) and JTF (Logistics)
Kim,
if you ever need help creating your logo with your ideas and input I’m sure many talented folks can give you a hand.
We have a few graphic artist on board (and a Photoshop Jedi, who me?!? lol)
Don’t be shy in asking, I for one would gladly lend you a hand.
Came across a military patch (without edging on twill) a while back, possibly US Army WWII (though not all vendors out here are knowledgeable in this field) but was inspiration for this idea
I dig the name and motto. Some of my favorite garrison squad logos incorporate parts of their geography, would be especially neat considering that you’re in Australia.
