RN Badge?

[C7_Insignia_3D]

The ink is still wet on my introductory post, and I am afraid I already need your expert opinion. I did look through many sources, including this forum, and spoken with a few knowledgeable fellows, but so far wasn't able get a definitive answer... So, fellow experts, here is the problem...

Being at the very beginning of the British chapter of my "MI-3D" project, I've managed to stumble upon a very trivial question: is there (or ever was) such a thing as an official RN badge?

I am aware of the Naval Crown, and the infamous "corporate" blue RN logo... However, what about a badge? Pretty much all the Commonwealth Navies have one... Any help will be much appreciated...

I'll take it as a "NO"... Thanks anyways.

do you mean used as a cap badge?

I think maybe the fouled anchor as this is included in all the rank headdress badges. Also much of the designs used on sea scout and cadet badges and event logos.

Thanks, Phil. What I actually meant, was a badge similar to those of Royal Canadian Navy or Royal Australian Navy (which could be used as a cap badge, as well as a blazer badge or a lapel pin). You see, with my project I need an image to represent the major branch. So, after the lengthy research for RN, I had to create a badge of my own, combining two of the oldest naval emblems. Here is the result:

By coincidence you have created a logo that is actually used by RN Sea Scouts. I will post a picture of it on a RN camp shirt later.

I knew I've already seen such combination somewhere... Thanks for clarifying!

As promised, the attached is the logo, as used by RN recognised Sea Scouts.

Very similar, indeed... Thanks for sharing!

No problem. I hope I have been in some small measure helpful. I was surprised you had no other interest in answering your thread before I did.

Good luck with your project, you are welcome to PM me questions if you want to, I may be of some use.

Thanks again, and thank you very much for your kind offer of help. Every bit of information helps tremendously. It is very much appreciated, and I promise not to abuse it too much...

Oh yes, and the lack of enthusiasm answering my question here was a bit puzzling. I can already envision having a lot of fun working with British insignia, considering I've managed to hit the wall right at the beginning and, to top it up - with such a major branch as RN... Cheers.
