This is my concept for a printed 2x3 pentagon tile with the Autobot emblem. The idea for this project came from when I was designing Devastator's chest plate on which I used the 2x3 pentagon piece to resemble the Decepticon emblem.
The emblem itself had to be changed slightly so it would fit cleanly inside the space of the tile. I think these pieces could really work well for some bigger transformers like Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Grimlock or Jetfire.

Wooden crucifix on the so-called holy mountain of Andechs Abbey (which is actually just a hill) with a view of the landscape and a glimpse of the Bavarian Alps in the distance, Andechs, Bavaria, Germany
Some background information:
Andechs Abbey is a Benedictine monastery in the administrative district of Starnberg in Upper Bavaria. It is situated on a hill east of the Ammersee (in English: "Lake Ammer") between the two lakes of Ammersee and Starnberg. The abbey, which is Bavaria’s second most important place of pilgrimage (after Altoetting), is located about 30 km (19 miles) to the southwest of the city of Munich.
The site of Andechs was originally occupied by a castle belonging to the counts of Diessen on the Ammersee. In 1080, the castle that was probably built on a Roman castrum was first mentioned in a document. For many decades it remained the seat of the powerful counts of Diessen-Andechs and dukes of Andechs-Merania, after the count had donated his ancestral seat at Diessen to the Holy See in 1132.
In 1174, Saint Hedwig of Andechs was born at Andechs. She was one of eight children born to Berthold IV, Count of Diessen-Andechs and Duke of Istria. At the age of twelve, Hedwig had to marry Henry I the Bearded, son and heir of the Silesian Piast duke Boleslaus the Tall. In 1238, upon his death, Henry was buried at a Cistercian monastery of nuns, Trzebnica Abbey, which he had established in 1202 at Hedwig's request.
The widow moved into the monastery and invited many German religious people from the Holy Roman Empire into the Silesian lands, as well as German settlers who founded numerous cities, towns and villages. In 1243, Hedwig died and was buried in Trzebnica Abbey next to her husband, while relics of her are preserved at Andechs Abbey and St. Hedwig's Cathedral in Berlin.
Hedwig had always lived a very pious life. She had supported her husband in donating the Augustinian provostry at Nowogród Bobrzański and the commandery of the Knights Templar at Oleśnica Mała. She had also always helped the poor, the widows and the orphans, founded several hospitals for the sick and the lepers and donated all her fortune to the Church. In 1267, she was canonized by Pope Clement IV. Today, Hedwig is the patron saint of Silesia, Andechs, the city of Goerlitz and the St. Hedwig's Cathedral in Berlin. Furthermore, she is also looked upon as the patroness of the reconciliation between the Polish and the Germans.
But back to the history of Andechs Abbey: In 1208, when Philip of Swabia, King of Germany, was assassinated at Bamberg by Otto of Wittelsbach, members of the house of Andechs were implicated. As a result, the castle at Andechs was razed before the family could be rehabilitated. After the dukes' direct male line of Andechs-Merania had been extinguished in 1248, the entire region was annexed by the bishop of Bamberg.
However, the history of Andechs as a pilgrimage site is even much longer than the history as a monastery. In 955, relics brought from Rome and the Holy Land by Rasso, count of Diessen, to his monastery at Woerth were transferred to the so-called holy mountain of Andechs to preserve them from the ravages of the Hungarians. In the 12th century three hosts, reputed to have been consecrated by Pope Gregory I and Pope Leo IX, were added to the relics, which were treasured in the castle back then.
The first documented pilgrimages to Andechs took place in 1138, when count Berthold II ordered his subjects to make the journey to venerate the relics in the castle chapel of St Nicholas. The legendary rediscovery of long-lost reliquaries in 1388 revived the ancient pilgrimage trade. At that time, the Andechs hosts were approved by Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa, otherwise a foe of such cults of wonder hosts.
In 1455, the late-Gothic collegiate church which Duke Ernest I had erected in 1423 was changed into a Benedictine monastery by Duke Albert III. It was filled with monks from Tegernsee Abbey. In 1458, Andechs was also raised to the status of an abbey. Henceforth, it enjoyed a long period of uninterrupted prosperity until the Bavarian secularisation of 1803. In 1712, the abbey was completely remodeled in Baroque style.
In 1850, Andechs Abbey was refounded as a Benedictine priory and affiliated to the Abbey of St Boniface in Munich soon afterwards. In 1982, the German composer Carl Orff, best known for his scenic cantata Carmina Burana, was buried in the church. Between 1998 and 2015, the Carl Orff festival took place at Andechs each summer. In 2015, it was ceased due to a lawsuit between the abbey and the Carl Orff foundation.
Today, Andechs Abbey is still a much frequented place of pilgrimage. But there are also many people, who don’t visit the monastery for its relics and their hope for healing, but for the great beer that is brewed in the abbey brewery. Beer has been brewed in Andechs ever since the monastery was founded in 1455 and the brewery also comprises an inn and a beer garden. So if you are not so religious, there are still some good reasons to visit Andechs Abbey.
The abbey brewery produces eight different types of beer and has an annual production of more than 100,000 hectolitres. About five per cent of the total production are consumed in the beer garden on the holy mountain. That’s why brewery and beer garden are the abbey’s most important economic factors and its main sources of earnings.
Seen at a 1960 Berna 5U-Serie truck.
Motor-Werke Berna AG was founded in 1902/1906. Initially only cars were produced. Around 1912, the emphasis shifted to commercial vehicles.
Motorwagenfabrik Berna AG was bought by Saurer in 1929. Only trucks and bussus were produced, very similar to Saurer truck models.
The Berna U-series was presented in 1936. It was the equivalent to the 1934 Saurer C-series. In 1939 nine U-series models were in the sale program.
After 1976, when the company was taken over entirely by Saurer, the Berna brand name disappeared gradually from the sales program.

Seen out ‘in the wild.’ It has the ‘FX-4’ emblem on its side, which I believe is the off-road package with 4 wheel drive on their 2.0L Ecoboost engine.

The Peugeot 402 Légère was presented in 1937. It used the shorter chassis and the smaller body of the 302.
The 402 Légère replaced the short lived 302. The best way to distinguish both cars is to look at the front emblem. At the 402 Légère the hole for the starting handle was positioned below the “402” name badge, where at the 302 this position was right through the '0' of the 302 emblem.
In the early 1930s revolutionary aerodynamic theories were applied for the first time to mass produced cars. Avant-garde cars like 1934 Tatra 77 and the 1934 Chrysler Airflow gained a lot of positive attention. The 402 was Peugeot's answer to its direct competitor the streamlined 1934 Citroën TA.
The 02-series was developed by the Département Études Carrosseries, under supervision of Henri Thomas.
The Peugeot 02-series was also called Fuseau-Sochaux.

"Khanda" - Sikh Emblem
The #Khanda is the #symbol of the #Sikhs, as the Cross is to Christians or the Star of David is to Jews. It reflects some of the fundamental concepts of #Sikhism. The symbol derives its name from the double-edged #sword (also called a Khanda) which appears at the center of the logo. This double-edged sword is a metaphor of Divine #Knowledge, its #sharp edges cleaving #Truth from #Falsehood. The circle around the Khanda is the #Chakar. The Chakar being a circle without a beginning or and end symbolizes the perfection of #God who is eternal. The Chakar is surrounded by two curved swords called #Kirpans. These two swords symbolize the twin concepts of #Meeri and #Peeri - Temporal and Spiritual authority introduced by #Guru #Hargobind. They emphasize the equal emphasis that a Sikh must place on #spiritual aspirations as well as obligations to #society.
