It's official: Ragnar is BACK.
Ragnar Danneskjöld is returning from rough seas for Atlas Shrugged Part III: Who is John Galt?
Plus, with your help, he’ll be making an appearance in the Atlas Shrugged movie store as well. We KNOW Ragnar is deserving of some great gear; unfortunately, there isn’t a logo befitting a philosopher turned pirate. Not yet anyway.
The “Atlas Shrugged: Who is John Galt?” production team invites you to design the logo for "Danneskjöld Collections" or "Danneskjöld Repossessions." Share your vision with us, and we’ll select the logo that best represents Ragnar and his mission. The winning Danneskjöld logo will be used in the Atlas Shrugged movie and on Atlas Shrugged movie merchandise. Plus, the winning design will receive $500.
For a full design brief and to submit your logo concept, please visit: http://99designs.com/logo-design/contest...
Submissions are due by Monday, January 13th.
GO.

The only trouble with putting that scene in a movie: each of us has our own vision of it from reading the book (true of most great literary scenes). Whatever is filmed is unlikely to fit what most of us hold in our imaginations. It is, however an essential scene.
"When the law becomes a tyrant the good man becomes an outlaw."
This motto is on our trade booth banner. We are Lost Sierra Mining Co., a small gold mining co. and vendor of mining equipment. Mine is in a remote region called the Lost Sierra.
While definitely not a movie espousing AR's values, nonetheless it's always fun to watch him kick butt.
Lost city (Galt's Gulch) + ship =... A.T.L.A.N.T.I.S.
Against The Looting And the Nefarious Tyrrany It Serves.
Perhaps not the best wording, & just a passing thought ;]
Sorry, I don't have my cadcam up and running (server backing up - arrghhh!) and I don't know what you're using for his ship, but the description is pretty self explanatory.
While the initials spell "Adrift" (representing cutting the looters adrift) it would not appear in initial form on the logotype - face it, Ragnar is to brilliant to resort to that, realizing a wise person would make the connection without it thrown in their face.
A ≠ ~A
Reality Fights Back!
On a black field.
Ragnar was the true philosopher of the group.
Reminds me of a line from Roadhouse. The doctor is stitching up Patrick Swayze. Sees he has a college degree and is stunned that it is philosophy. She asks him if he loses much. He says something to the effect that the people who go looking for trouble usually are not much difficulty for people who are ready for them.
and a broken chain ?
I was confused by this myself, as I was also sometimes seeing $499 and sometimes $300. I think when designers are logged in, we see $300. I think that $499 may have been the price of the package, but some of that includes 99designs.com's fees (although $200 seems like pretty steep fees for what the website brings to the table!). Not 100% sure that's what's going on, but that's the only thing I can figure, as I've also been seeing $300 every time I'm at the contest page.
After I posted the above, I went to the site and checked the amount while I was logged in as a designer and while I was logged out. It did indeed read as $499 when I was logged out and $300 when I was logged in. When it read $499, I hovered my mouse over the number at it read: "Silver design package. Purchased for $499 (including 99designs fees)." While logged in, I hovered my mouse over $300 and it said: "The winner will receive a $300 prize!" So, yeah, looks like 99designs takes a pretty hefty chunk.
$300

the words: Danneskjold Justice in gold on
black.
By the way, Danneskjold is a Danish name and
means 'shield of the Danes'.
She did not, but they are very fitting; Ragnar =
Young Warrior. Dagny = New Day.
Crossed white cutlasses on a black field, letters "R" on each side at cross-over, with the gold "ATLAS" figure in the open center of the crossed cutlasses. R's are for 'Ragnar's Repossessions'.
Ragnar needs a knife. Not Macguyver's Swiss Army Knife (though I would bet he carries one or a "multitool"). He needs something "swashbuckling", but utilitarian at the same time. A sword seems impractical other than as a symbol of his status on board his ship.
What sort of knife would Ragnar carry? Something concealable for when he is ashore. Something with multiple uses--be it as the needed tool of the moment or for self-defense. And something that is precisely functional for every possible use, high-quality, and with just the right amount of "personal style", perhaps his monogram or a dollar sign (though I think that would look corny on film), or.....? I can imagine a symbol that would be misunderstood by those who do not understand him--a sword to the heart, for example.
Remember, Ragnar will have thought long and hard about his personal blade and has the means to have something custom-made if need be. So....what would Ragnar carry?
I can see Ragnar as somewhat similar in style to the captain of the "Sea Shepherd", but of course entirely different in motive and personality.
Generally speaking, the movies so far have left out a LOT of good stuff, and I doubt very much that John Galt will speak for 3 hours in the third movie
