This is an art page for my various vector graphics, although I'll admit it's more image editing than image creation. This was originally created for my Foundation Facility Insignia (for the English language sites), but I've now moved them and some of my other collections to seoerate Artwork pages (linked above), so this page is basically for all my miscellaneous work.
I do take requests (or volunteer myself) to make icons for new additions to the Facilities Page page, but I generally ask to see the Description or Secure Facility Dossier first - I like it to meet the minimum requirements, that way my work will actually be used on the page. Feel free to use the various insignia I've made on other pages, or to use them as templates to create your own - the sections at the bottom of this page may help with that.
I made so many Assessment Team and Strike Team Insignia that I put them on their own page!
The art I made for this page is now showcased on a Locations of Interest Artwork Page, but I have the map and the different Nexus/Freeport icons I made for it below.
A depiction of the locations of various inhabited anomalous locations in the SCP Universe. Follow the link to the page it's hosted on for a full list of sources.
Area Classes
Other Location of Interest
Area Class Symbols
For the various types of Nexus, made for the map shown above.
Blue Thorn.
Green Flower.
Yellow Castle.
Orange Pagoda
Red Tentacles.
Purple Anchor
Nexus connects to one or alternate realities, so it's a Grey Crossroads. A class of my own invention, since this feels like the best way to describe locations like the Wanderer's Library.
Generic "Location of Interest" Symbol. Used for everything without a specific area class.
Personal Insignia for characters from my tale series.
Based on SunnyClockwork's representation of the Serpent's Hand (The Serpent's Hand 1) and a White Crow - an allegorical depiction of my protagonist.
Made my own Chinese-Style Seal for Zhang, the font is ZCOOL QingKe HuangYou mostly just because I liked the way it looked. I've probably done something wrong, if you know any Chinese feel free to correct me.
Inspired by the SCP Foundation symbol as well as by the Maxwellian logo and theme, the idea here is "lightning breaching containment". The numbers around the border are a transliteration of "Circe Atalanta Galanis" in binary.
I doubt "Leopard Commando" ever had actual insignia in-universe, but if they did it would look something like this. Rahab would eventually get her own personal emblem, after she beat a silverback gorilla in hand-to-hand combat.
This isn't Loxley's family coat of arms, this would be something he came up with himself. The serpent is because he's literally a reptile working for the Serpent's Hand, the arrow is because he's just like Robin Hood!
I never miss an opportunity to make another hub, I created this page to list the various departments with their own hubs or tags. While doing so, I realised some of the Departments lacked logos so I made them for the ones lacking them.
I quickly put this together based on the Department icon template provided by old departments page and the alchemical symbol for the Philosopher's Stone - it fits the outline very well and I thought it would be the most recognisable as a symbol of alchemy.
Groups of Interest
Only one of these so far.
I feel a bit iffy on creating this because this blatantly Fascist symbol is clearly inspired by
SS iconography, but… well, it's not a swastika so you can probably get away with using it if you want to represent the Obskurrakorps. Based on an earlier design by LemmoLime, we put this together one evening on the Discord. Whatever you do, please don't remember me as the "Nazi Logo Guy"!
The insignia for English-Language Sites and Areas are now showcased on their own art page.
Made this with the help of L200, follow the link to the page it's hosted on for a full list of Sources.
Made this with the help of L200, follow the link to the page it's hosted on for a full list of Sources since I didn't make all of these images, I just put them onto a map.
The insignia for the Facilities of the Lusophone (Portugese-Speaking) Branch are now showcased on their own art page.
Lusophone Foundation Facilities Insignia
Spanish Branch Sites
Sites using the same numbering system as the Parent Foundation:
Slight edit of a design HarryBlank already did, based on the
Flag of the Hispanic People. I was told on the Spanish Discord that the tilde above the number improved it, the letter ñ is a distinctive feature of the Spanish language.
In the I-57 Canon, the Latin-American Regional Council refers to its Sites as Instalaciones, translated to Facilities (which means the canon gets called I-57 or F-57, in reference to the main facility in the canon). I made these based on existing line art by Dc_Yerko and Almarduk, giving them their own unique border (from the I-57 logo on the hub) and a color scheme based on the country they're located in.
Colors based on the
Flag of Chile - a white star on a blue background.
I-57 spans the border of Argentina and Chile, high in the Andes Mountains, so I took the red from the
Flag of Chile and the blue from the
Flag of Argentina.
Grey color scheme to match Area-32.
The French Branch operates Facilities around the world, assigning each with a Hebrew Letter rather than a number. Based on the Francophone Logo created by EstrellaYoshte, to give them a distinctive outline on the map.
Site Insignia
The Site is in the Sahara Desert, so this is based on the
Flag of Algeria, with a sand colored. I imagine it being in the part of Algeria that the French used for nuclear testing (obviously not the exact same location, but the general region seems like a good place to hide some weird stuff without anyone noticing).
Site-Mayim is an underground network beneath the French Speaking parts of
Switzerland.
Based on the
Flag of Scotland. No real idea why there's a French Site in Scotland, but why not, I suppose?
Area Insignia
Polish Branch
I've done a couple of these, based the same template used by Zygard for the Site-PL-69 logo.
Made a logo for
Area-PL-34 based on the
Flag of Poland with a toadstool on it - I couldn't resist, the colors were already perfect.
Russian Branch
I made a couple of these, so I could mark the most prominent Russian Facilities on the map.
Obviously based on the Russian Flag, but the + and - indicate the two levels of the Facility, 7+ and 7-, which are above and below ground respectively.
Went with a biohazard inspired logo for this one, fourfold because that's how I do areas and it makes it a bit more distinctive.
Facilities of the ZH Branch
Numbered versions of designs by Dr V Valentine with the colors of the ZH-TR logo by the same artist, taken from the ZH Sites Page. It makes for a very recognisable and consistent design aesthetic! Site-ZH-31 design by prtp14, my original version now improved by Mang Gwan
Site Insignia
Principal Containment and Training Site.
Memetics Research Site.
Containment and Research Site in New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Containment Site located in Hong Kong, China.
Containment Site located in Macau, China.
Research and Containment Facility located in Perak, Malaysia. Initially recolored by me, improved by
Mang Gwan then reuploaded.
Containment Facility located in the Hai'an Mountain Range on the East Coast of Taiwan. Has a translated
Secure Facility Dossier.

In case anyone's curious, I can imagine these existing in-universe, probably created by each Site and maybe used in a semi-official manner to help people keep track of which number is which. You can see this as a fun way to promote a sense of Site identity and solidarity while doing the Foundation's difficult but necessary work, or you can see it as a cynical ploy to promote a pseudo-nationalistic sense of unity. Or both. Up to you.
Making Your Own
I am happy to make Site or Area insignia for new additions to the Facilities page, but if you would like to try it for yourself, feel free to download and edit the various svg files - template-site and template-area have everything you need to get started, but you can just download and edit any existing logo to use that as the starting point. I created all of them in Inkscape (because it's free), but other image editing software will also work. You may need to also download the Bungee font for the text I use for the Facility insignia, but that's also free.
I'd recommend converting any text into a "path" (if you keep it as text the font may not work in certain browsers) then uploading it to the web as an optimised (plain) svg file. This will give you better resolution than a png, with a much smaller file size (most of the time - if the svg file is larger, it's probably due to shapes or embedded images that can be simplified without any loss of resolution). As far as I'm aware, all browsers should render .svg files without issue, and it enables you to do a lot more with the image if you need it larger (or smaller). Good luck, and remember that all of your questions can usually be answered by Google, that's how I learned this stuff!
When designing these kind of insignia, whether for a character, group of interest, location or facility, I recommend that you follow the Principles of Good Flag design:
- Keep It Simple. Keep in mind the size you want it to be, and don't make it too complex.
- Use Meaningful Symbolism. The colors and symbols chosen should reflect the location, function, or ideally both.
- Use 2 or 3 Basic Colors. Limit yourself to a small number of colors.
- No Lettering or Seals. You can make exceptions, but writing is usually unnecessary, and won't be readable at a smaller scale.
- Be Distinctive or Be Related. Being related to a real-life flag is a good way to show connections, but you'll want your design to not be too similar to anything that already exists.
For further education/entertainment, listen to the dulcet tones of Roman Mars.
Of course, I have broken all of these principles at one point or another while making these insignia, but generally the closer I stick to them the happier I am with the result - my favourite work on this page is generally the designs that were the easiest to do. That's not to say you can't create a more intricate design, just keep in mind the scale you want it to work at.
