Hope this is what you needed.
If anyone has one or can post a link to it, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Hmmm. Original file was cmyk so that was probably a problem for some. I have updated the link above with an rgb version which should work fine.
It's big too. 4692x1719

I guess this wasn't the totenkopf and wings I thought of when first reading this topic. What is this symbol from, please?

hehehe you didn't answer his question Ramiel, so I'll reverberate the question...
I was thinking it's either from Starship Troopers or Warhammer 40k but I can't remember for sure.....
Thanks Jmtwo it works now.
@ NoHumorMan: no, this IS the Totenkopf "skull and metal wings" logo, the YenChih Lin wallpaper is his own creation (I think).

no, no it's not my creation - I found it on the net
The one I posted is from Sky Captain. Not sure what everyone is looking for.

The SS adopted the Totenkopf, wrongfully, from an older and highly revered German regiment of elite soldiers, as well as the Nazi's soiling the true meaning of the Swaztika - previously meaning Good Luck.
But I digress...
To be fair, Totenkopf skull and wings refer to something quite real: it was the insignia of the feared SS in Nazi Germany.

The Skull & Crossbones 'Totenkopf' were the SS & Waffen-SS symbol, not the skull & wings. Funnily enough the Skull & Crossbones were/are also used by some British Armoured Regiments.
The Totenkopf Skull & wings are used in Sky Captain and by Harley Davidson, and by about a million tattoo artists
Starship Troopers use a stylised Eagle motif which is supposed to be a combination of an Eagle and an old-style 4-engined bomber, they have wings badges, but no skulls.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if a Skull and Wings symbol is used in Warhammer

Your welcome. I also just remembered I have a vector version for it.

I have several other logos as well including the Flying Legion if you need them.
Thanks again Jmtwo, for providing the great art. :thumbsup And it is the exact "Sky Captain" version I was wanting.
