I like the style of the last thing better, with the standard hologram color. But Its a bit big, the shape of the first one (the first comm bar) was better I think. Don't overdo it with all the brush thingy's. Keep it simple and functional. Can you make an example of a comm bar with a photo and some text in it?
Ãle-de-France Shipping S.A. (IDF Shipping) was founded in 501 AGS (585 A.S.) by Francois Pomeroy, who thought Gallia needed a shipping company that was absolutely loyal to the Crown, instead of just another money hungry company like many others at that time. It started as a one man business, Francois, and his Aurochs freighter, the 'Ãle-de-France'. He had some small private contracts within the Core Worlds, enough to feed his family.
The company really started after Francois received an urgent charter into the active war zone of the First Gallic War. Most of the companies active at that time did not want to risk operating in such an environment. Being one of the few people available to operate there, Francois took his chance and accepted the assignment. The Crown was very pleased with his performance, so he got a permanent contract, in exchange for a significant stock share. This allowed him to expand his business giving him a huge head start with support from the Crown.
Only several months after his first assignment, he raised enough funds for the first large transport, the ME-UH 'Vache' Gallic Train named 'Parisienne'. After the war, IDF started purchasing assets of competing companies and was able to organize several aggressive takeovers. Starting with the smaller companies, slowly gaining market share, but quickly expanding the fleet.
