Come on Smoke Jaguars, the other clans posted this thread, and you haven't? Step it up!

Personally I greatly prefer this new icon. Much more intimidating, and you can actually see more of the symbol in the background. Only downside is that the Jaguar isn't all Grey + Smokey, but I think that has to do with the fact of the flag textures in the background would make it blend in too much if it were to do that.

I prefer the Jaguar's pose in the classic version... wouldn't mind to see the new one that way.

[Jehdin]

I'm 50/50 on the new design. As I stated in a previous thread I'm just happy to finally have something other than the stupid lone wolf icon after so long.

I am not a Jag and will never be.. But i think the classic one looks better. Black cat? Nah thanks.

[swamp hag]

Hideous, form and color choices both.

Well we can't all be perfect.

[swamp hag]

In fact I think all the redesigned Clan logos are ... well ... I hope they didn't pay a lot.

I agree. I don't get the color choices. The "jaguar" design itself just lacks any kind of "coolness" imo.

[John Clavell]

I think all the clan logos are poorly conceived. I don't feel there's much thought behind the shape and form. That's not to say all of the original clan logos where without issues yet many of them have very strong elements that are iconic. Much of that dose not translate through very clearly in my mind. My 2 cent.

Should be grey not black, but other then that like it. It looks to be on its hind legs rather flying through the air

[Raigner]

I would like gray over black myself, I do not remember being the Void Jaguars, but over all I like it but time for a change from that 20 year old flat un-articulated logo.

[JDOGG]

I'm not a fan of it. I would have liked if they at least retained some of the original smoky color of the Jaguar. Now it just looks like a black panther.

[MechB Kotare]

Im dissapointed. I think others ended up nicely, comparing to ours. But its something i can and will live through.

[KinLuu]

I like the shape.

It looks aggressive and really jumpy. Completely do-not-think;jump-into-enemies-face kinda like CSJ is supposed to be.

I do not like the color.

It is to dark, it is more Clan Coal Jaguar than Clan Smoke Jaguar. I really liked the steel-grey of the orgininal design.

[Nova Latios Storm]

I like it yes! But it is hard to see when in-game.

[dezgra]

Needs to be gray, not black.

I should let you all know, a black panther is generally any melanistic member of any panthera species. This refers to jaguars, leopards, and cougars.

this is a melanistic jaguar, so any complaints that the clan is now smoke panther are unfounded, as smoke jaguars, if they existed today, would fall under the panthera genus and be considered panthers.


With regards to the actual insignia, I think the new one looks silly, and the colour combinations are off. An updating of the jaguar itself to look more intimidating is great, as the original one at a quick glance looks a bit like clan bubbly rabbit. However, the odd orange circle and blue limbs do not look remotely like they belong, they should stick to the more classic colour combinations, a smoky grey jaguar leaping off a blackish stone grey background sans orange circle.

[SilentWolff]

I'd prefer the old design.
There must of been alot of complaints about the new icons, cause Russ just posted that they are going to also redo the old icons, then have us vote on which we prefer.

[ALKALIN3]

Glad to see the redo and vote. I'd prefer designs along the lines of the Freebirth insignias. Sometimes less is more

Actually the Jaguar falls in the family of Panthera Onca Jaguar which contains Jaguars (no actual Panthers). The Panther is BLACK, WHITE, OR GREY. Those are the only actual species of Panthers. In America there is the Florida Panther.

The Jaguar actually resembles a Leopard with is black spots on yellow fur. They live in Central and South America and do not live near the Florida Black Panther, or the Black Panthers in Africa.

What is on the CSJ icon is a Panther not a Jaguar.

Edit- They fall in the family of Big Cats, but if we say a Panther is a Jaguar cause its a big cat, then we can say a Lion is a Jaguar too, and we can quite clearly see they ARE DIFFERENT!

I work at a zoo, im not talking out of my ass.
