Black and white emblem featuring a skull in a firefighter helmet, crossed axe and sledgehammer, and text labels around a Maltese cross shape.

Project: Firefighter Emblem – Black & White Line Art Style & Aesthetic • Monochrome: Black and white only. No shading, no grayscale — just bold, clean line art. • Line Weight: Varying line thickness for depth and clarity; thicker outlines for primary shapes, finer detail lines within the skull and flames. • Format: Vector-ready, symmetrical and balanced. ⸻ Core Layout & Elements 1. Badge Shape • Style: Traditional Maltese cross or classic fire department shield. • Lines: Bold outline, clean intersections. 2. Centerpiece • Skull: Realistic but stylized human skull — sharp teeth, visible jawline, hollow eyes. • Helmet: Old-school firefighter helmet on skull, tilted forward with the number “54” on the front shield. • Details: Helmet styled after a real leatherhead fire helmet, with ridged top and side flaps. 3. Tools (Crossed) • Left Side: Fire axe – single blade, curved handle, traditional fire service pattern. • Right Side: Sledgehammer – large, rectangular, blocky head with a reinforced grip-style handle (as referenced in your photo). • Positioned behind the skull, handles crossing to form an “X.” 4. Flames • Stylized flame lines rising from behind the tools, flowing upward and outward. • Clean tapering strokes, slightly asymmetrical for natural look. ⸻ Text Placement • Top Arc: “LFD” — centered and bold. • Left Arm of Badge: “ENGINE” • Right Arm of Badge: “HEAVY RESCUE” • Bottom Arc: “AMBULANCE” • Small Text Below or Inside Helmet Shield: “EST 1928” Font Style: Classic fire See more
