Crescent Company Needs A Motto!

[karadin.livejournal.com]

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)

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.

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.

Yes, I was trying to think of mottos with light and illumination, even something like 'illuminate the darkness'

but you can also use, loyalty, devotion, honor,
steadfast, maybe 'light bringers' as opposed to 'night walkers'?

I like "Illuminate the darkness"

I certainly like the IDEA of this but the wording's a bit clunky - and not quite combative enough for my liking (I mean, we're an army, aren't we?). I'd prefer something like, "Defying the darkness" or "In defiance of shadows" or something implying that we'll fight for our curved little sliver of light!

I like that idea of using another song title to be combined into a motto ^^;;;
