Crescent Company Needs A Motto!

Our members are divided into companies of 100 (just like a good army should) but our second company newly forming, has yet to have a motto, so!

Should the community choose a motto or would the members of the company prefer to come up with their own?

Crescent Company (to date)

jade_kinneas,
kayashi_chan,
latte_vanilla,
jishcreator,
maygray,
celestialraine,
wongkk,
susan_11


It's early days yet, but we can also pick the name of the 3rd company - for now they seem to follow album titles, woe betide the Mizerable Company.

Well, I am not sure. Should the members discuss it with each other?
Cause I could discuss it will everybody XD except I don't know what the motto would be.
Soooo, hmm, what are the other companies mottos?
But, in the mean time hopefully other members will comment on this and we can see their opinions. ^^

"Challengers of the sun"

"Illumination of the soul"

Mmm. You want a motto. Let's play with the word then. What does "Crescent" bring to mind?

- Horns (oops - not good)

- Bent (worse!)

- Lunatics (no, no - let's save that for the future Moon company! Don't see why the Moon album should escape)

- Growing (the word comes from the latin "crescere" to grow, no?)

Pray silence for nasty connotations of "growing"! OK - nothing nasty.

So, growing what?
Well, obviously growing bigger like the moon as more members join - but that's a truly dull matter of counting. Growing bigger means shining brighter, though. Does that lead to anything? "Always brighter" Or is that too competitive an idea? (Hee - I don't think so! But then I'm not a Devil)

On the bright note, here's a funny one (though I know the maths doesn't stack up so ignore it for serious purposes): "the Light Brigade"

Is there any way of combining one of the crescent associations with a Gackt song title maybe? I dunno - "The Light of Another World" or something like that?

Difficult. Anyway, I've tossed my toys onto the table to see if anyone else wants to play with them.

Nothing comes to mind just now, I'll think about it, but I'm not very good with coming up stuff like that..

I couldn't sleep last night and thought I'd feed my brain with the Crescent company motto conundrum (again!). I considered why the moon is a crescent (i.e. shadow over the rest of the moon's spherical shape) and ended up spooking myself with the phrase "Eaten by shadows". We don't want this as a motto!

But the shadow thing is another angle, I suppose.

I'll continue thinking, for what it's worth.

how about the "illumination of your eye"... yeah, not very catchy I guess.

The shadow notion is a good one! The crescent always stays visible because the light is defended against the shadow, right? So, how about, "Defending the light"?

Or something along those lines.

Hmmm... how bout "Changing Light"? I was thinking about the crescent being either the waxing or waning of the moon. I'll try to come up with other mottos. Btw, I like [livejournal.com profile] wongkk's "Lunatics" *giggle*. :D

Hmmm... I also like "Illuminate the darkness"... But, yes, we still need more suggestions and opinions regarding this matter... ^^

Well, how about... "Red shadows", based on the cover of the Crescent album and from [livejournal.com profile] karadin's idea... Or "Ankoku no Hikari" (The Light of Darkness), based on [livejournal.com profile] celestialraine's idea and also from the cover of Crescent album... ^^;;
