Mechamaniac Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 (edited) Looking through the compendium, and I noticed that Max and Millia were leaders of the Dancing Skulls Special Forces Squadron after SW1. http://macross.anime.net/characters/j/inde...eniusMaximilian Does anyone know if there was a logo made for this squadron? I am not in the practice of spending hundreds of dollars for art books so I can't check to see if there was ever a squadron logo made for this. Any help is appreciated. I'm working on a mini custom project and would love to find this squadron logo. Thanks! Edited November 11, 2004 by Mechamaniac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewilen Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Yes. But of all pictures of M3 materials I've been able to find online, none of them has discernable squadron insignia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechamaniac Posted November 11, 2004 Author Share Posted November 11, 2004 I did find this link... http://unsd.macrossroleplay.org/vf-9.html I don't know how official it is, and I cannot make out a discernable logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macplus Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 (edited) Dancing Skulls... what a lame and wussy way to finish skull squadron....shameful IMHO... oh well...

Umm...those pics of the VF-9 were done when it was still the VF-X-11. So no, those are not the insignias of the Dancing Skulls. Image is official. Markings on it are not. Dancing Skulls... what a lame and wussy way to finish skull squadron....shameful IMHO Umm....Dancing Skull wasn't even part of Skull Squadron. In fact, it was a special forces unit.

Skull Leader Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Dancing Skulls... what a lame and wussy way to finish skull squadron....shameful IMHO... oh well... Macross M3 was done when Kawamori was still with the M7 POS fresh on his head... so no wonder the only thing Skull Squadron and Dancing Skulls Squadron have in common is the fact that two of the members served time on both teams.... otherwise they have NOTHING to do with one another.

You can't imagine how happy I am that what you say is real to me dancing skulls sound just as sissy as the Pink peckers.... horrible.. and really wussy Edited November 13, 2004 by macplus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK. I don't think it's a terrible name. It kind of fits the high-flying acrobatic quality of Max and Millia's flying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewilen Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 About the logo, I looked in my copy of Design Works and I noticed that the designs from M3 don't have the UN Spacy insignia. Instead, they have a roundel with three inwards-facing triangles. It's a little like the "radiation hazard" symbol, if you complete the triangles and take out the inner circle. This insignia is visible in some of the pictures you can find online, but it's very fuzzy. I don't know if this is a UN "special forces" insignia, or if it's specific to the Dancing Skulls.

Those insignias were done when were done back in '86 for Advanced Valkyrie and probably have more to do with that then the UN insignias. Kinda like a placeholder for group insignias.

the white drew carey Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 You are correct. The "Radioactive Hazard" symbol (for lack of a better title) is common throughout the Advanced Valkyrie project. If you move forward to the final variation of the VF-X-10 as the VF-9 Cutlass, You'll see that Kawamori has replaced the "radioactive hazard" symbol with the UN Spacy Kite. After looking at all images available, I don't think that the Dancing Skulls unit ever had a "specific logo". Maybe the pride of being a Dancing Skull was recognition enough?
