Every player organization in Eve is currently called a corporation. Now, this sounds like the kind of thing that has to have been thought about before, but why not allow an organization to be called different things to indicate its intended play style?
Groups with a goal of financial prosperity can signal this by calling themselves a corporation. Groups that just want to have a chat room and perhaps occasionally help each other out can call themselves guilds. Tight-knit groups of friends with whatever goal can call themselves clans. Perhaps change the default name to "organization," and have that indicate that it's just a run-of-the-mill group (though I'd like to think that every organization would be rather close to one of the three specific philosphies).
Not really a serious suggestion. Just something I thought of and wondered if other people would find it to be neat too.
EDIT: Just to clarify, if I implented this, there would probably be a select box where the leader (would only call them CEO for a corporation, methinks) got to choose one of the four categories for your group, and your choice would be visibile in the Attributes page.

It's not "really wanting to belong to a guild as much as" thinking "wow, these guys act like a guild, yet their organization is called a corporation." And then you'd have every freelancer corp having to put the word "guild" in their name. May work in real life, but cramps people's styles in a game.

Makes perfect sense to me!
I do thing having "organizational philosophy" and "primary focus" on the attributes page would help a lot (assuming they were truthful!) in getting recruits who wanted to be there. Sure, you can put it in the description, but for some reason a lot of people don't.
Oh well. Just fun to keep floating ideas.

Well, I'm glad that most people (with the exception if a few smart ***es who think that just because you take one step in a direction means you have to start running) think it's a reasonable idea.
Now all we have to do is start sacrificing goats and hope CCP does it.
