Yeah they look pretty good, but ingame when seen really really small.....meh..

I think the worst part of it all is the sheer potential here for a redesign. The old logos have problems, we all know that - they're dated, and use elements that we laugh at people for mimicking in Photoshop these days (emboss, render clouds, etc). But there was a template, an idea, behind the logos themselves and that's why we loved them.

That entire spirit was lost in the redesign.

Given the material available to design a logo around, these really got lost. What disappoints me the most is the enormous potential of a redesign (it could have been SO cool) that fell horribly short either due to laziness, or lack of knowledge of the source material.

Thanks for the thread, Lucian. Thanks PGI for doing this, too. Gives us something to sport while waiting to wear our real logos.

Good news to hear that they are coming down the line.

I might have to change over to a "generic" when its released till a second pass of these guys are done.

GB looks like a giant colored blob in anything smaller then the forum tag. And even then it doesn't look that great.

Anyway, keep posting!

I kinda like the redesigns, but given the choice I would still pick the old ones.

[Pariah Devalis]

VICTORY! I am absolutely content to wait a month or two, but knowing both the daggerstar and total remake of the Clan logos are en route makes me very, very happy.

Coffi pointed out in the Clan Collection pack ad there is a Nova Cat logo. You guys should be set soon.

[Pariah Devalis]

We knew about it for a while now. Picked up on the camo, even though they dun goofed that. Alpha fades to black, not white. XD

the pupil on the wolf clan logo SUCKS lol!!

and the falcon doesn't resemble a falcon at all, it looks like a phoenix; seriously falcons are a lot more square this bird is so curvy it looks kind of effeminate



other than that, it's an ok redesign, cant complain too much beyond what i said above but the claws on the ghost bear logo are smaller now than the head, that should have been taken into consideration for the design of the logo, since it's in proportion to everything else

I assumed that's how the falcon's have always been. Their leader's and best pilots were mostly women right?

Actually, this action by PGI is a bit of an accidental PR success. All the players of mwo have wanted was to feel like the devs listen to us in some way, and they did just that. We spoke, they heard, and it looks fantastic for them to be responding this way. I am very happy about it, even if the initial clan art was... undesirable.

Agreed. I like the fact that you can reach out and talk to the devs and get a response. That they listened and we will get a chance to see what they come up with.

Getting a dagger star is also exciting. Also gives pgi a proper idea of what faction players identify with. I hope they will give the mercs and minor factions the chance as well.

Aside that Malthus went crazy, and became vindictive towards Adam Steiner, disobeyed his superiors orders and then lost to a inner sphere Freebirth. He was not so much a 'good' leader, or a good Clansmen. But then it is a kids show, quiaff?

[Jaroth Corbett]

Do not let this thread go off on a tangent please.

[Pariah Devalis]

I think the thread served its purpose, though.

Umm according to Sarna, nothing ever happened to him. He is still recorded as a Star Colonel. I guess they like dishonorable Clansmen: Elias Crichell, Christu, Malthus. Ulric was actually innocent and also murdered dishonorably.

Cool cause im playing as a dezgra pilot
