Read on to discover how to accurately paint the Ultramarine symbol again and again and again.
I use Vallejo Game Colour Wolf Grey instead of white because it covers easier and isn’t as harsh as pure white. I start by painting 4 dots to outline my ‘U’.
I then join the dots to form a circle.
I fill in the circle with one coat…
… and then a second thin coat to make the colour more even and solid.
I then paint a thin bar across the top of the circle making sure it just clips the top of the circle and is no wider then the circle itself.
A thin blue line (sounds like an Ultramarine last stand) is then painted vertically.
Finally, a small blue circle is painted where the blue line ends. Make sure the blue circle is o not central. The ‘U’ looks better with a thicker bottom.

Nice tute! Great way way to maintain symmetry- thanks for posting!
Excellent stuff. What would really help me out would be an Imperial/Crimson Fist freehand if possible.
