I spoke to him also. He said:

Translation: "We're going to wait until eventually everybody accepts it."

The new logos look pretty funny, almost comical. The Wolf looks like a panicked dog that is mad at its own tail or something, while the Ghost Bear seems to yawn.

Nicholas Kerensky would be rolling over in his grave if he saw the Wolf Clan logo. It does not even show all the stars. The sixth star represented the, KERENSKY BLOOD LINE!!!! Something that Clan Wolf was and is proud of! Strong, majestic, mysterious and grace. Non of which the new logo has, it looks more like a rapid dog, then a wolf.

How can you ruin something so simple, PGI?

The Jade Falcon looks to be the best but does not show the grace of the Falcon. Only the strength of his Claws. Something else that the Jade Falcons were proud of!

Ghost Bear... do not even get me started.

Smoke Jaguar, its black not even smoke and looks lazily drawn.

Ok, my rant is done...

I like the new logos

But! I think we need a better in-game thumbnail. One that is more clear to see.

[RJF Volkodav]

At least ) We have new clans:
Clan Jade Parrot (w/crowbar)
Clan Abused Wolf (look into his eyes)
Clan Baloo and Clan Bagheera

[NeoCodex]

I'd go with Clan Rabid Dog, but Abused Wolf is not bad either. I chuckled. Laughed at Clan Baloo and Jade Parrot (I was thinking the same for the parrot).

These pictures do not make the clans justice and should be REMOVED. Them. Are. HORRIBLE.

I am baffled, if not shocked, that the artistic license shown here, was approved for implementation in this product. Deferring (where doing so is a legitimate option) on the conservative side was one of the few attributes I appreciated about this product delivery team. Coolant suites for player models and contemporary renditions of neurohelmets I understand as keeping up with the times, but the re-imagining of National/Factional logos is an unprecedented and unjustified departure from the source material that offends even the most ardently anti-Clan spheroids, such as myself, and only reinforces the perception that the shortcomings of the publishing/marketing/development firms make customer buy-in of this product not worth while.

[GalaxyBluestar]

they have desecrated 30 year old iconography singling out the clans over IS designs.

**** em.

At least we are secured from abuse at that point , i will be really scary if they decide to do that to the home clans . I will knock on my desk and will have a prayer -> PGI never touch Clan Star Adder.

At least for Clan Star Adder we'll be in good shape because they'll have to go through Clan Steel Viper first and face the backlash from that.

Not happy with the Clan logos at all.


I wouldn't say the Inner Sphere is immune. FedCom is next. I'd be afraid. Very very afraid.

Those logos... they are some kind of a temporal placeholder, right? You are currently hard at work to replace them with the proper ones, right PGI? I do appreciate your sense of humor, but please, do not play with the last thing we have remained of the BT canon. I do understand you had all the reasons to make fishtech instead of clantech, but can we at least have our logos left untouched by your bottomless majestic creativity?
Thank you for your understanding.

I'm not a graphic artist and I don't want to offend the PGI artist's work, but this is how the Clan logos should be:

Fire your artist and sign this guy up!

THAT is what we were freaking expecting, not a redesign of the wheel.

[NeoCodex]

The ones we currently have are obviously not the clan logos, it has to be a very bad, late april fool's joke.

Just look at the poster above me and compare the Ghost Bears... The one on the left looks like it got drawn in some kindergarten class. It's not just an insult, it's mockery. Remove this!

I am very happy with the redesign. It was difficult to even consider joining a clan because (with the exception of clan jade falcon) clan's emblems looked like they were done by grade-schoolers or were bad hockey team emblems.
Now they have more detail. They are more impressive. They look fiercer.
I approve.

You crazy bro?

All three logos remind me of a freakin High School Sports team logo. They all have the usual styling of a sports team logo, the old logos never had any of that 'style'

As well. I started a poll in the feature suggestion. Go vote. http://mwomercs.com/...go-re-redesign/

On many Forums players could just link to these and have awesome looking Avatars already instead of after the Clans drop according to Russ's tweet!

If it waits until after Clans launch... I will actually be a very grump Ghost Bear. :/

He thinks many of us would rather a good patch vs proper logos. Seriously? I would love to know how long, and how many people it takes to draw, colour, code and inject the logos? a couple hours to save face and make 1/3rd of the community happy? A couple man hours are not worth this to PGI?
