Sergem: on the domes, I meant for them to be as if seen from the top-down (birds eye view). I'd like you to try this with #53.
Spayer: What I meant about the rivets was that the larger balls that were already in #52, be made to look like rivets. Perhaps just make these circles in #52 small hexagonal bolts.
Sergem: can you replace draft #27's white with black (like you did in draft #31).
Spayer: Take the background of #37 (without the starfield) and change the black bands on top and bottom to that tan color. Replace starfield with dark brown. Then put the logo from #35 on top of that.
Sergem, on draft #29, can you put the "2120" text somewhere inside the logo. Maybe in the dark part between the stars on the bottom. Or maybe even on the bottom part of the "flag" where the grey is.
Spayer: So far, #10 is the best. However, I think the colors of the space station are a little too cartoonish. I'd like something more "industrial metal" looking. I know said use brown in the description, but I'm not sure if that works. Thanks.
This may, or may not help. But this is an excerpt from the text that describes this government on the novel's web site...
Introduction
Unlike the other stellar powers, the Space Habitat Coalition (SHC) has no home world or natural territory. Instead, the SHC is comprised of space stations and remote habitats spread throughout the solar system and beyond.
The SHC's origins are traced back to a venture by Earth-based private investment firm Shenmi Corporation to build affordable habitats for residential and commercial use in space. Constructed in Saturn's orbit, Zhu Station would be the first of these habitats. After easily filling its vacancies, the SHC shuttled in thousands of new residents and commercial proprietors to live and operate on Zhu Station. Eventually, the SHC expanded by building more habitats in other unclaimed space near the outer planets. Its growth culminated in the development of the first orbital city, orbiting the gas giant Jupiter: Sun City.
The success of the SHC soon attracted negative attention from the other major worlds. The United Earth Parliament and Venusian Initiative demanded spatial territory and commercial tax royalties from all SHC complexes, citing interstellar laws that state that any profitable ventures in space, owned by non-world governments, could be taxed with the profits split evenly between the major stellar nations.
The SHC fought back legally by taking advantage of vague wording in interstellar law on spatial zoning rights. The SHC's lawyers challenged the major worlds to produce documentation of the established zoning permits. When the major worlds failed to produce the documentation, the SHC elevated the legal skirmish by demanding evidence to prove ownership of their claimed spatial territories.
Fearing an uncertain verdict, a deal was brokered on May 2120, to give sovereignty to the SHC and recognizing it as an independent stellar nation. Legal challenges behind them, the SHC expanded further with more orbital cities around the planets Jupiter, Saturn & Mercury and the moon Europa.
Despite its rocky origins, the SHC maintains good relations with all the major worlds and continues to produce leading-edge technology for space exploration, terraforming and colonization. In a show of peace, the SHC also pays taxes to the three worlds for the majority of its orbital cities.
The original founding company for the SHC, Shenmi Corporation, was a mysterious organization, whose real ownership and executives are shielded by the use of nominees. Even after its dissolution, the origin of its true ownership is still unknown.

Spayer on #52, see what you can do to change the circles that run along the outside into something that looks more like "rivets" on an iron plate.

You guys have done a great job! Thanks!

Sergem: I like draft #21. Can you change the location of the words so "Space" and "Habitat" are above, and "Coalition" on the bottom.
Thanks!
