A badass catchphrase?

Hello there

Right now I am trying various things in the background of my novel before continuing to write more chapters. One of these things in the emblem of the squad in which the protagonist will belong, which I have almost finished. The only thing I would like to put is a slogan or a kind of sentence that sounds cool.

I had planned to put it on top of the gray circle. I'd like to put something on it that sounds great and reflects the ambiguous morality for which they act. The kind they are not here to save anyone, just fulfill the mission.



I had thought of some but I don't know if they'll sound great or it's just cringe like:

"Not all angels forgive "

"Through the darkness may the light come"

"We are not here to save you"

"Now you really have a serious problem"

Maybe they can give any other idea, it does not have to be with this theme, just something that sounds like a slogan that maybe a military man would like to put on an emblem.

Thanks for the help.

These kinds of slogans are sometimes in Latin, so maybe try translating them
"Not all angels forgive "
Non omnes angeli propitius eris
"Through the darkness may the light come"
Ut per tenebras in lucem veniet
per tenebras lucem (I like this one, shortened to "Through darkness light")
"We are not here to save you"
Nos hic non est qui salvet te
"Now if you really have a serious problem"
Si autem est vere gravi forsit

Or how about "on dark and light feathers": Lux in tenebris plumis

Probably not the best translations, given it's google, but some don't sound too bad.

If I were part of that squadron my tagline would be "JUST WING IT ✔️"

I see the angel so perhaps "We Protect, Those God Select"

I don't want to stay here for an hour to think of something so here's what I think might fit,
"Mercy is optional"

Yeah just write something in latin that looks cool. It will add additional atmosphere.

Meus dux, mea lux. What are those? I can barely understand those? Is this supposed to be Latin?

Non omnes angeli propitius eris - omnes is plural. Why is there a singular eris?

Ut per tenebras in lucem veniet - Why ut? Why a final clause? That you come to the light through the darkness?

Nos hic non est qui salvet te - Once again. The program doesn't get simple plural and singular. Nos - we - salvet - he/she saves - Grammar atrocious.

Si autem est vere gravi forsit - ??? Grave? Never heard of adverbs, didn't you? Also the syntax.

Lux in tenebris plumis - ? Why in? Pure ablative recommended. Lux and tenebris are both nouns. What the phrase says is "Light in the darkness with feathers."

Add this to the slogan: estuans interius ira vehementi.

Must be accompanied by an orchestra every time they say it and the vocals should yell Valkyria!

Ok, it seems that the consensus is that if they are good slogans, which is good for my self-esteem:blob_aww:.

It also seems that everyone likes Latin with a chorus of voices in the background, although the truth is I don't know if to put it because I don't think people take the time to try to figure out what it means:blob_hmm:.

In fact, as a curiosity in the intro of the Batman movie, the choir of the music is only saying the names of the composers said backwards, but even so it sounds as if they had meaning.
