Could you please change the Clan flags to the ACTUAL Clan symbols? I get that you guys want to be cool and artsy with the new Clan icons, but I do not appreciate the changes. You used the proper symbols for the Great Houses, could you please do the same with the Clans?

[Grendel408]

Even the House faction icons are slightly different from canon... personally I like the new Clan Wolf logo... but I'm sticking to my merc roots I'm a big BT/MW fan, but every now and then you gotta shake it up a bit, BSI didn't always have the same logo as we do now... it was altered years ago.

[Ghostbear Gurdel]

I certainly do not like their take on the Ghost Bear logo

[Sylvian Le Fabre]

The Forum Logo is ok, but ingame you cant see it.

[wickwire]

I think the ghost bear looks better now, its a bit more modern take on the art...

[Panthros]

In game clan factions logos are just horrible. Did nobody test this? I cannot tell what the symbol is. It is a logo, keep it simple.

[wickwire]

Ok the Ghost Bear looks bad in-game, I agree

[Desintegrator]

Dont expect any change to the logos in the future.

It's the same with every new patch -> the patch has been released after weeks of testing and fine-tuning from Quality Assurance and if they say its fine - its fine...

I love the new logos, the point of MWO is to modernize battletech, get over it and stop fearing change. just because a few loud hardliners do not like the look of the new clan emblems dose not mean a lot of us don't love them, and this game is not made for just you now was it? get over it and move on. that being said, adjusting there resolution in game would help.

I honestly don't really care if it matches the old logos or not. I just see a not so good design job. Compared to IS symbols, these seem amateur as they don't hold enough impact or unity among it's elements. If they stylized the old ones, ironing the colors and putting some new personality into them, that would be great.

The proof that they do not work as it was supposed can be verified in game when the badge is just a few dozen pixels wide. All that detail is lost and the symbol fades away.

Does this logo make my bum look big or something?

[Bravado]

The In-Game Logos do have a bad LowRes feel about them.

That's exactly what they did:



I don't love them, either, but it's not such a big deal to me that they should have to change them.

Smoke Jaguar: too much color and the jaguar shouldn't be black.

Jade Falcon: Sword is kinda fading out there, and the wings don't look quite right with those ridiculously long feathers.

Wolf: The old blocky militaristic look was nice. The new one looks good but is a little cartoonish -- looks like something from a Miyazaki film, which isn't itself a bad thing, but doesn't lend itself too well to the Clans.

Ghost Bear: Too much throat, though I imagine that is a more accurate depiction of what it would look like to have towering over you, about to have lunch.

Battletech has been going well for 30 years now, I do not think it needs to be "modernized". If the Bear did not look like it was drawn with terrible perspective and a drunk bear it might be okay....

Wow, those do look great! I'm sold, change 'em up!

EDIT: I have been informed that these are not "by Odanan" but actually by Punakettu. Odnan just shopped them onto the flags.

Maybe the Devs could tease the rest of you Clanners what the other Clan faction logos look like before raising the alarm?
