Description
I decided to create a pilot's flight patch in Illustrator for the YF-29 Fighter from the Macross: Wings of Goodbye movie.The Durandal is a legendary French sword, hence the inverted fleur de lis on the hilt, with the blade running through the center of a Vajra symbol.
The symbolism is based on the notion that the YF-29 Durandal was a fighter built specifically to combat the Vajra threat in the movie.

Actually it has all the elements the YF-29 Durandal represents.
The Durandal is a legendary French Sword hence the fleur de lis on the hilt of the sword, with the blade running through the traditional symbol of a double Vajra, denoting the fighter's specific role as an anti-Vajra weapon.
The YF-29 is somewhat a one of a kind fighter, built to combat Vajra specifically. Consequently, the battle with the Vajra ends by the final act of the movie, thus the usefulness of all the YF-29 advances become academic. Its destruction is also symbolic of how the fighter had outlived its usefulness.
