I'm probably not the only one who is not impressed by the recent logo additions. While I really appreciate the speed in which new logos are put into the game now, it really appears that whoever deals with the logos at CCP doesn't really care about quality any more at all.
These are the guidelines which used to be followed quite well.
http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Alliance_logo_submission_process
These are the two really important bits:
Quote:Image must have the look and feel of EVE online
The bottom layer should always be empty, i.e. transparent, with the second layer above being the flattened version of the icon itself.
Now let's have a look at how they are supposed to look like. I'll throw in a few logos that in my own opinion fit into EVE very well and might as well be NPC corp logos in regards to quality:
CVA: http://e.dotlan.net/images/Alliance/1988009451_64.png Stain Empire: http://e.dotlan.net/images/Alliance/1988009450_64.png Ivy League: http://e.dotlan.net/images/Alliance/937872513_64.png Ishuk-Raata: http://e.dotlan.net/images/Alliance/1691647675_64.png
I think these are prime examples of what they are supposed to look like in a perfect world.
Let's go on to the logos that don't exactly fit EVE's style but nevertheless are of great artistic quality and certainly don't disturb the feel of EVE. This would be the most common type.
Goons: http://e.dotlan.net/images/Alliance/1354830081_64.png IRC: http://e.dotlan.net/images/Alliance/673381830_64.png RZR: http://e.dotlan.net/images/Alliance/741557221_64.png ED: http://e.dotlan.net/images/Alliance/494403294_64.png FCON: http://e.dotlan.net/images/Alliance/1006830534_64.png Convicted: http://e.dotlan.net/images/Alliance/1198020766_64.png Gypsy Band: http://e.dotlan.net/images/Alliance/99000372_64.png Romanian Legion: http://e.dotlan.net/images/Alliance/557004256_64.png Raiden: http://e.dotlan.net/images/Alliance/99000289_64.png PL: http://e.dotlan.net/images/Alliance/386292982_64.png Vanguard: http://e.dotlan.net/images/Alliance/555959926_64.png K162: http://e.dotlan.net/images/Alliance/1015198609_64.png Rote: http://e.dotlan.net/images/Alliance/927292903_64.png TL: http://e.dotlan.net/images/Alliance/99001240_64.png
There's dozens more of these, each of them are striking with either detail or simplicity.
Then there's the rather questionable logos. Logos that look like they've been done with paint, that aren't quite terribly awful but not really that pretty and/or looking like a 12 year old has made them. Note the random black/white background that looks lik... |

You spent a lot of time on a "bash Goons' logo" thread. This was litigated and won by Goons a long time ago. Let it go.
And seriously, you don't like PL's logo?

You actually have to read to understand it. He's actually saying majority of the CFC alliance logos among others are quite ordinary and simple, fits and are well made. The most bottom ones are the ones he is protesting against. quote CCP Spitfire

Generally agree tbh, which surprises me. Pl logo is definately in the top catagory though. Some are terrible. Still if they want to fly under those banners its up to them i guess. |

On a side note I'm surprised CCP haven't tagged on a PLEX price for alliance logos yet. |

Probably not. But that's his problem.
Anyway, I think the OP is forgetting that EvE's a bit different than your average Sci-Fi property.
The lives of the common people who aren't pod pilots may be very serious and grim-dark, as commonly seen in the chronicles.
But the lives of it's pod pilots clearly aren't. A central tenant of EvE has always been that we, the players, shape the universe. And by extension that means we shape the culture and lives of pod pilots. This universe isn't just filled with serious men and women led purely by instincts of survival and greed.
This universe has a rather large population of sociopaths and psychopaths who've been immortalised through technology and are now flying around in giant space ships shooting things just because they can. They band together in corporations not in the pursuit of profit or power but in the pursuit of amusement and murder. They fly not with decades of training and a quest to leave their mark on the universe, they fly with alcohol coursing through their veins looking for a few laughs. They fly not under the carefully designed and clean banners of the empires, they fly under flags of their own delusional devising.
That's EvE. That's why all these wacky alliance logos are perfectly fine. Because, judging by the actions of the player-base, most capsuleers are batshit crazy. |

Honestly you should consider yourself lucky for CCP to put the logo's in as fast as they do now. Back when i created this Alliance and filled it up with decent players we applyed for our Logo. Met all the criteria CCP asked for...well waited for 2 months no replies... Mailed a few people in CCP no response for the first month going on 4 months i was told the person who was ion charge of Logo's was on vacation.... K no problem month later sent out a few mails again person was still on vacation.. well 6 months later i get a reply were changeing the way we do the Logo's .... K np i'll re-sub mine ... well 9 months later nothing yet... Finally there had been a shift in My Alliance and we lost alot of players due to inacativity and other reasons. So **** up... So yeah consider yourself Lucky CCP isn't ******* you in the ass ..... This is Common CCP to ME... All Promises and No delivery... |

Why does CCP have restrictions in the first place? Aside from screening for nudity, racism and sensitive content it should be open to anything, in my opinion. |

Classic. To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

I was so shocked last night, when I heard this, And saw those awful logos, that I completely forgot to post.
Seriously.. aside from that Fail one, I don't see how they are out of line with what people who happen to live 21 thousand years in the future might use to identify themselves. Look at the military in the last 20 years, or the Airforce, and their planes in WW2.
Not much difference honestly. The only one that is 'out of place' is the Fail logo, and that's just because it has a fail stamp over a big forum smiley. Maybe I was actually sleeping in front of my computer and dreamed I posted. Certainly, it's not there now. |

Pretty much the same story here for an alliance I was in, we got it done in the end though.

Too many people in it were bad at eve unfortunately, so it died a justified death. Still proud of how it looks though, I made it.
