Hello one and, most importantly, HELLO ALL!

This is the official team thread for the AO Army. What is the AO Army? WE ARE THE AO ARMY! You reading this, the player next to you in game laying down ropes of paint or that one well placed shot and even the player on the receiving end of your shot, taking one in the mask.

The AO Army is everywhere. We take the insults of the players who think that if your paintball gun wasn't built in the last year you're behind the curve. We take the ignorance of players who don't even know what we're shooting and strive to educate them. We recruit players to our cause by spreading the word that 20 year old tech can still hold its own in speedball, can hold its own down in the dirt deep in the woods and can STILL hold back a 800 player strong charge in one of the largest scenario games hosted every year at CPX sports!

We are a team, we are a single player, and we are even laying down paint towards one another. The AO Army is everywhere!

How do you get a membership in to this awesome phenomenon?

-Be a member of AO and support your team
-Shoot an Automag under ANY of its incarnations, EVEN the FN303.. hell, someone join who is still shooting a panther, we'll let you in! (we'll even let in that blasphemous person who put a 6 pack on his Phantom)

You don't need to ask to join, we don't even have a membership list. You'll have to go out and actually talk to people, tell them you're a part of the AO Army and start building your own units.

We build off of Tom's creed:


The Creed of the Das Untermag Revolution


We are the few and the underdogs. We do not need notoriety. We seek to gain knowledge and fight against mental repression caused by expensive marketing, hero icons and long held beliefs. We believe that there is a truth and that it should be sought out and embraced.

We are different because knowledge helps us to understand the line between paintball fantasy and reality where others think no line exists at all. The Revolution holds itself to higher standards. We do not allow our markers to be put down but we do not put down others markers. We seek to learn and to transfer that knowledge to others in a friendly way.

Our sign, “chuff chuff”, represents a point on the fantasy / reality line. This point moved when the LvL 10 changed the Automag. Long held beliefs have prevented this new truth from breaking into the mainstream. The Untermag Revolution was thus born. The sign is many things: a greeting between Revolution members—as they are among friends and a recognition of brotherhood telling the enlightened that you too seek knowledge above and beyond the mainstream. When directed toward an outsider, it is a signal that they do not wish to learn. We must accept the fact not all will join us.


Our symbol is the red star enclosed in a black circle. The circle represents unity, its color, black, shows that we are an underground community. The points on the red star represent all of the players that do not understand our creed. The points flow into the stars center showing that all are welcome to work with us in seeking to understand the truth. The red color represents that we are active in our communications with others both inside and outside the Revolution.

“Live the Creed”

We have taken what he has said and built on it. Our symbol, based on the creed, the black circle with a red star, is featured on our patches.

We are still looking for a proper logo for our team mascot being the Magpie. The magpie being a majestic bird that... um... well its called a "MAG" "PIE". The mascot will be featured on our shirts and jerseys.

I used to get the craziest looks from the "Cool Electro Kids" at the local field in 2003 when I would stick my finger in the breach and bounce the Lvl 10 off of it. Ill always have at least 1 mag, there amazing markers.

I've used a mag since 95. So far I've never felt like I was out gunned. And I don't expect anything to change that. So as long as I can get rebuild parts. I will continue to shoot my trusty old automagRT. And my wife loves her minimag. So that is one convert.

Throughout history wars have been fought under banners, flags or symbols that helped represent a feeling of unity, pride and purpose for one's community. AO is a community with members all around the world who are viewed as underdogs on the paintball field because they used a piece of equipment designed 20 years ago. This sense of community with automag users has always meant a lot to me and has helped re-attract me to the sport when I have felt distant or abandoned by it. It encourages me greatly to see a spring of new life developing in this community to join together and unity under the name of "Automag Army."

Now my challenge is for this creative community to develop a new banner, flag, symbol, or dare I say... Jersey... that we can use with pride. I would like to toss the idea of a "Design Off" out there to help bring out the creativity community members who can develop a simple logo that combines what we love with our great inside joke about Magpies. I for one will be tossing my hat in the ring and willing to get things started. I am in the midst of a move so my computer is still packed, but once I get some time I'm going to photoshop some design ideas up and share them with the community. Maybe a new thread would be better. Regardless I am feeling very patriotic for AO right now and wanted to share.

Laku, those are awesome and maybe we'll incorporate something like it in a later run. As I've been saying the whole time, all I'm doing is giving everyone else a base to work off of. If you guys want swag to wear to show our colors then it will be up to you guys to grab the ball and run. much like rschoi_07 did (I will say however he dropped A LOT of money to get you guys patches)

06-02-2013, 09:16 AM
rschoi already ordered some patches? I missed that. Anyway those I made were just for fun of it, so no pressure of using any. :)

In case anyone ever needs them I have the originals as photoshop file at 2048x2048 px and most of it is in vectors so it should be fairly scalable.

06-02-2013, 10:39 AM
Actually i did and still fail to see how this symbol/creed is a representation of AGD or Automags. Never has it been mainstream or used anywhere in association with either. All it will lead to is confusion and whoever wears it to be subjected to explaining what it is each and every time.

BTAutoMag
06-02-2013, 10:41 AM
well I based everything on the creed tom laid down in 2009. he was the one who set the logo and since he created AGD and the automag... I think it has alot to do with AGD and the automag

I think it may have been poorly though out at the time. As was the name Das UnterMag Revolution. The negative associations for both are apparent. The only way it is associated with AGD is that it makes for terrible marketing, which is one of their specialties.

I'm supporting this because I like the idea of AO'ers being able to recognize each other out on the field. If I were advising on this as an art director (former life) I would loose the Star, Circle, Heckle and Jeckle, the word Army, and the AGD lions. I would recommend a new logo (an actual logo, not a piece of artwork or photo-chop of something yanked from the interwebs) based on the Magpie and using the magpie colors (White/Black/Blue). The only thing I would consider retaining would be AO hex's.

It aught to be something completely new since part of the idea is to abolish stereotypes.

My 2 cents.

BTAutoMag
06-02-2013, 11:07 AM
the state flag of alabama is a red star. the red star has been used as a symbol of communism but also as a symbol of peace and protest against the nazis. It is sometimes understood to represent the five fingers of the worker's hand, as well as the five continents.

speaking of nazis, the swastika's meaning was literally "to be good" and was used as a symbol of peace. even hitler used it for its literal meaning if not for his own twisted views of peace.



symbols of any type can be used for good or bad, in our case we are using the red star as a symbol that we are willing to educate the players who do not know about our cause and bring them into our family

with that being said... I do believe I have said many times that you guys need to design things for us to use. I just happened to be the first to design something and people liked it so it got made into a patch. I believe if you made something and people liked it and it didn't have a red star in a black circle. it might get made. The fact that these patches are currently getting made are an utter shock to me that I am leading an automag revolution and am being looked up to.

we will have several different incarnations of our logos and mascots. I plan on bringing a variety to it to suit everyone.


pgop2.0... design something then, lol

Viva la revolucion! Seems like these pop up every 10 years (2003 was the most recent). As much as i love Automags, they wont be mainstream until they are sold again in every local shop. Which isn't gonna happen. But was excited hear about an AO jersey and would enjoy running into.others wearing them.

06-02-2013, 11:46 AM
Call me sentimental but when i think AGD all i see is the double lion logo.

I've always liked the double lions as well. I actually prefer it. But this run of patches was made based off Tom Kaye's description. It wasn't a unilateral decision made by me (or anyone else for that matter). I also think you're reading too much into the whole "socialist" thing.

Anyways, I think a compromise can be made. We're all intelligent (somewhat thoughtful) people here. I suggest to open source the designs, so people can make their own custom patches or what not. It's not that hard. If it means that much to you, you're more than welcome to take on the financial burden.

The lowest common denominator would be to require "AO Army & Chuff Chuff" to be written in large letters somewhere on the patch.

06-02-2013, 12:01 PM
Where did the "chuff chuff" come from, really? Isn't that a somewhat bad sound to hear since it indicates your marker did not shoot as intended?

I really dig this design, but I don't care for the style of the cuff-cuff lettering, a standard lettering like the top style might look better. Plus I wonder what it would look like if it wasn't curved, just straight across like the AO-Army lettering with the star behind, just a thought. :)

Lets get the ball rolling on the jerseys! Obviously we have to find the mascot design that we are going to run with, but we can get a good idea of what we want to do with the rest of the jersey (i.e. color, pattern and any AGD logos we want to throw on there). Do we want a loud jersey that will stand out in the crowd or something more low key? Personally I vote for something that stands out so you can easily spot us in a crowd.

I can polish it or it can be used as it. It depends on it's being used for. I didn't want to take it any further unless there was going to be a physical need for it. I really like were this has all gone though. I like the inclusive, crowd sourced, everything that fits the central concept is valid approach.

With a "team" this big where everyone has a voice, you'll never reach a consensus anyhow. My art is available to anyone who would like to use it. Just let me know and I will get you the appropriate file type/size for your application.

I think the font looks dated. Don't take this in a negative way, more constructive criticism. That looks exactly like what jerseys 10 years ago would look like.

Once a decent concept is agreed upon (hard enough to do) everyone interested in a jersey might want to chip in a few bucks to hire a designer that is experienced in doing jerseys.

Which font are you referring too? I'm assuming this one, since you mentioned jerseys.

Looks like I hit reply instead of reply with quote. Yes that is the font that I was referring to.

I also think the perspective honeycomb pattern doesn't fit well on a jersey like this. I know there was some work involved in doing that but a straight on view would fit much better. If RAZA is the go to company I'm sure they have templates available but you'd have to figure out which jersey would be best. I think they offer at least 3 levels and they most likely have different templates for each.

On the other hand, the jersey designs on animal is a great start. I'd like to see the automags.org logo on there somewhere though.

Here is another concept logo to throw in the hat. A Magpie on the attack with a menacing skull pattern in the wings and tail. The lettering is not at all what it needs to be but I think the slogan is purty cool.

I was thinking...

We are the AO Army but we can have different factions.

I.e. at living legends there was the new empire but under it was the centaur legion, the minitaur... and so on.


So we could have the ao army but then have magpies as a catch all legion for members and then have other legions like beo mafia, berzerkers, infamous... ect

With the ability to add on legions as people want to grow the army or make a team.

So we all are the AO Army but not all of us are magpies... catch my drift?

I like the idea in principle of having different divisions within the AO ARMY. We did something similar with the Ice Pirates Paintball Club back when we were all active. We had different squads (Ninja Squad, Cowboy Squad, etc). What I don't like about it is that it has the potential to kill the larger idea as each group bifurcates down to smaller and smaller ones until the big picture is lost.

I'm just consious of the fact that beo and berzerkers were here first and thwy may not want a new team name but may want to be a part of it... for example.

I would also think its stupid for 1 member of a team to sign up a whole team when he's the only one shooting a mag. The berzerkers being an all mag team is awesome but a faction has to be mag shooters.

The material used depends on the application. For a hopper sticker like that I would use a thicker laminate than what you would used on a car (in most applications) just because of durability. The hopper wrap or the goggle wrap BT just posted would use a more conformable laminate to be able to make the curves. That hopper wrap also used a base material with a higher tac adhesive that's normally used in motocross applications. So it all depends.

Less complex = faster recognition = better branding.

so our logo will eventually be this:

Hah, don't worry about it. That's one of the problems I still have. I haven't yet figured how to do the nose cavity in the skull without the "sacks". But I'm hoping that once I get started with the legs I can get rid of that "sack"ines in his nether regions. ;)

Laku, the adjustments you are making do bring more detail to the bird but I feel they take away from the original design. In other words if it aint broke why fix it. I only say this because I know how much time can be involved in something like this (for me anyways cause all I have is an old Paint program from 2007 or so). i'm not saying your work doesnt look good I just think the minor changes we made were enough and didnt take away from the original design...Magpie+Skull= WIN

Well this has only taken me few hours spread over few days. So it hasn't taken that much time. And as said I do it just for fun, it acts as a nice break to my day job as 3D artist.

As to what originally prompted me to try out something little different were that I felt that although fine the original design wasn't yet there. For me I found that the flat even black lines weren't lively enough and made it look bit too crude. Also there were parts of the design that didn't really translate that well to bird anatomy and I wanted to try if it could be addressed.
It may or may not work in the end but that's just part of the fun.

That being said I do realize that all this might just be my professional baggage talking. I some times do tend to look at pictures over critically because analyzing them is something I need to do on daily basis. :)

As a side note I do hope that everyone does feel free to point out all the things they like or don't like.

I fully understand where you are coming from. I'm a pen and ink artist at heart so it's often tough for me to switch hats. With pen, like with 3d work, detail and accuracy are paramount. 3D even more so because it has to look right from every angle no matter how it is posed (I mess around in blender a bit but my skill set is very limited). Graphic design, logo design in particular, is about distilling the image down to the minimum amount of visual information necessary for viewers to get the point. Yes, our Magpie has some anatomy issues (no feet) but he meets all the icon-o-graphic requirements (actually he's slightly too detailed, but we're not a big corporation so who cares) and the two basic elements (skull and bird) are clear even when scaled down to avatar size. Talons would only serve to obfuscate the skull.

How about making one where the hex pattern isn't at an angle, and then using the AO forum colors (the dark steel blue - almost purplish, and slate gray)?

I think I like this one better than the first with the AO Army Chuff Chuff patch. Also I tried to do the shirts in Grey/ Blue but it left white blocks around the individual pictures that had White in them?

I like the back piece. The front looks little off to me.

Is that Stars and Stripes automag text AGD design or something someone did? Cause to be honest that's little cheesy, at least to me.

Also the front "patch" seems bit too restless and over complicated.

Edit. Does it really need the AO army patch on the back? To me it's just too many designs on same surface.

That's cool. I'd just like the jersey to be the best and most polished design we can come up with. Cause there's definitely enough talent in here to make it awesome. You know, before anyone rushes to order a bunch with unfinished concept.

Having said that, I realize that in the end it's unlikely to meet everyone's criteria of the "perfect" AO army jersey, and that I might very well be one of them. :)

i like flatliner333's idea for the shirt, was on custom ink looking and i think in order to keep costs reasonable were going to have to limit the number of items on the shirt or were going to have to buy an awful lot of them. i don't mind $25.00 for a shirt personally but over that is getting too much. i say put the large magpie on the front and the AO army on the back and keep it as simple as possible. i'm sure we wont please everybody and once we have the artwork loaded people could just order their own with as much stuff as they want on them. i im for two if we keep it fairly simple.

the above shirt cost me over $36.00 because i ordered less than 25 pieces. if you all can every decide on a design you like and get enough orders(its either 20 or 25 pieces) you can get this style of shirt for just over $20.00. the problem is that 1 person has to order them all and pay for them as well and i for one don't have the money to order a couple of dozen shirts and wait for people to decide they want one. i know i posted i didn't want to pay over $25.00 for a shirt but after i got thru playing with it i just had to have it. the letters in the AO Army decal on the back have since been changed to white. i like the red but figured if you all wanted to use the design you would want people to see it from a distance.
