N18 What faction logo is this?

[Sump Thing]

This is on the first page of Cinderak Burning, and seems to be on the chests of the coming Orrus suits.

It looks like a stylized necromuda logo. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to the modern 'munda lore but is there any story behind it? Like, does it belong to a specific faction?

At a guess based on where we've seen it, it's either a faction symbol for nobles/spyrers, or perhaps a specific house.

Nothing concrete yet as far as I know.

Vaults of Temnos, page 45, the Insignia Imperialis Helmawr uses both that same stylized "Necromunda Eagle," as well as the coffin-shaped frame. "The symbol of the Ecclesiarchy of Necromunda, and represents the fusion of the Imperial House with the throne world. [...] the symbol of the Imperial House and the hive world of Necromunda, merged together to represent how they are as one. The skull Aquila has long been the personal seal of the Helmawr line, and on the Insignia Imperialis Helmawr it is displayed as the head of the spider that is Hive Primus"....

Man I've thought that was a Van Saar crest for the longest time because of their fixation on spider stuff.

Van Saar also have a spider logo / icon, but not quite the same one as Necromunda overall. Skulls and spiders, spiders and skulls. Necromunda is Warhammer, after all. Ha!

Now, my question is, whether there are good "graffiti style" faction logos for Pit Slave Rebellions (ogryn or otherwise), and for Lady Credo's populist uprising (depressingly manipulative/d as it may be)? I mean, I suppose just scrawling "CREDO!" on the walls would not only be a solid reference for the uprising, but also a nice call-back to Nemesis The Warlock, from 2000AD, itself a definite inspiration for Necromunda alongside Judge Dredd. Still.

iirc Credo's populist armies used a seven-pointed star emblem. I think you can get septagram nail decals off of Etsy for cheap as hell.
