Absolutely, SK, I was already planning on doing so. It might take a little while, because I'm planning on doing about 100 or so of these, but you're on the docket.
Just a note for those who have been checking these out. The more I looked at the "cleome" one I did, the more I just really didn't like it.
It was too involved (it was actually nine different layers in Photoshop), and too much detail gets lost in this format. It's better to keep them simple, so I'm scrapping that one (the post is edited) and I'll give it another try later. Sorry, cleome, if you didn't see it, but trust me, it wasn't very good.

OK, next up... five with a "V". We have: Dev Em, Invisible Brainiac, Bevis (formerly Lucien Lad), Novelty, and Poverty Lad:
Bevis and Pov's are their own character's chest logos that I believe each of them created themselves.
Invisible Brainiac is obviously just a combo of the existing logos for Invisible Kid II and Brainiac 5.
Novelty, for those who don't know, is a huge toy collector and particularly likes "The Masters of the Universe" figures, so if he had a power, the obvious one to me would of course be "The Power of Grayskull", the logo for which I chose here.
For Dev I went through a ton of different combinations of elements to capture his half Durlan/half Daxamite character - antennae, spit curls, Tudor collars, cape disks - before I finally just boiled it down to the design here. So simple, but I think really effective. As a bonus, I noticed after I sized it that the buzz-cut lines on the left side pull the eye to the right side, where the absence of them suggests the letter "D".
Up next: Which three letter Legion Worlder beginning with S has a connection to ancient Egypt? Well... two actually.

Didn't see it, but I'm fine if you just wanna use a slightly decorative letter "C" or even a green leaf shape or something, Ex. The spider lily is a pretty complex shape, I agree. In the abstract, it doesn't really read as "flower" in the way that a daisy or rose would.
No rush.
(BTW, so far my favorite is Quislet's. The little necktie is just soooooo cute!)

I agree with supes that Dev's and Bevis' are wonderfully appropriate. Lucien/Bev were always SO blingy and Dev's is really an amazingly good design, period. sigh

Whoa, thanks exnihil! I love it! Maybe I'll even use it on Facebook

I wonder what our parents would think. I know my mom would message me right away. Maybe I'll tell her it's a logo for a super-secret cult... of SPACE!

Thanks so much, everybody! I'm so glad you're all enjoying them as much as I enjoy making them.
Next round coming up on the top of the next page in about 5 mins.
