I agree with Lil Mule's post on this. I have been threatened already a couple times by CCP admins and snooty players for re-posting this topic. I only keep re-posting because:
A.) No one reads sticky's on a forum.
B.) Most people have free reign on forums (i.e. me administrator of several websites)
C.) and I like the attention 
Speaking of attention! I think this topic deserves more. If I pay for something my suggestions should not be ignored or thrown to the wind by skeptics or non-believers! Our ideas should be heard instead of cast aside. I do not care if a lead artist, head programmer, or whoever says that they can't reduce lag or implement clever programming to fix any issues that may come with said idea. I wanna see it done! I create models with Maya and XSI mod tool too ya know and creating graphics for models is half the fun of them (CCP probably has a better or custom software  ).
This is a very very feasible idea and it could be implemented. CCP keeps dodging this idea and like a run away semi on the highway and its bugging me and my corp mates. The players of EvE are being heard, but perhaps ignored on this.
CCP I could care less about planetary interaction. I would be happier if I could paint my ship. That is what I say.
All that really needs to be done is simple layers or paint schemes that flow with the ship models like Lil Mule said. Schemes, layers, or predefined shapes which have no offensive or rude things (as suggested by concerned players) and cannot be made into such. Besides CCP can't hide from this forever its going to come up again and again until they introduce more corp/player individuality via this idea.
The corp logo designer is as lame as watching tv instead of playing eve and the ships all look the same. Even a nice logo content update would be fantastic. This is a good idea and it deserves much more attention.
In Summation CCP is denying the fact that this has been done before in multiple MMO's albeit different genre's and what have you. And whats funny about it is that creativity and innovation drive their company to make this game what it is.
I Lithikus challenge you (CCP) to make this work.
My Terms:
You cannot abandon the idea
You cannot complain about it
If it cannot be done then you must send a very descriptive and in depth answer with reasons why it will not work with your hardware, my hardware, your servers, my servers, my cheerios, your cheerios, the kitchen sink, etc.
If you accept my challenge and successfully make it work i will never complain again. 
Alternative:
- Introduce a massive customization patch with predefined themes for both corp/player customization
IT MUST BE DONE! I NEED SHARK TEETH ON MY SHIP AND CORP NEEDS A NEW PAIR OF SHOES (logo)!
Moderate that CCP. BTW I love your game hehe.
That's all I have to say about that.
