Yep! Thanks!

[Groundpound Devalis]

Only Wolf and Ghost Bear should be Traditional, the changes to Smoke Jaguar and and Jade Falcon are improvements

[Statius]

Classic please. Now let's see if we can't also vote on a classic heatscale (appropriately adapted of course), burst AC's, variant manufactured weapons, and proper information warfare, too .

[juxstapo]

New Jade Falcon is better. For every other clan, classic wins.

Ok, since we're having a big debate about artwork, I guess I'll leave my 2 cents. The problem with the "traditional" is that smoke jaguar's gray and ghost bear's gray are too similar when you shrink them down. 99% of our exposure to this artwork will be those little tiny icons by player's name in-game. Here is about how they will look



The gray and blue are kind of similar for the top two at first glance. Obviously if you look at it closer you can spot differences, but I feel like there should be distinct coloring. I like the black coloring of the jaguar with yellow claws/teeth.

Me too. Because those filthy Jaguars don't even bother to brush their teeth.

Way to waste resources.

Just goes to show that no matter what you do someone is always going to whine about it.

Voted for redesigns, but I feel it's mixed. I like the original clan wolf (I really could go either way with this one) and ghost bears, but the others I all liked the redesigns.

[Wolf Clearwater]

I like the new artwork (and greatly prefer the old), here is my constructive criticism - banners and logos (look up medieval heraldry for example) are supposed to use contrasting colors, be. If you keep the new ones, please just change the banner in the background to a more distinct color for Wolf (right now its a red blob). For Ghost Bear, turn the face down so you can see it more distinctly, or even do a slight side turn if needed for copyright/artwork issues. The Jade Falcon should be holding a sword...... its not really clear what that is. Sorry. That's it, thanks for the great art!

I voted for classic since I plan on using Clan Wolf and I liked the classic one better. However, I was ultimately torn down the middle overall. I think the classic Wolf and Ghost Bear logos look better, but I felt the opposite for Jade Falcon and Smoke Jaguar.

The classic Smoke Jaguar looks like some poorly drawn ghost or something. In my head I'm picturing the tail end of the jaguar coming to a thin point kind of like Casper the friendly ghost instead of there actually being another pair of legs there.

Then there's the classic Jade Falcon, which I think just looks horrible. It lacks almost any detail. It's pretty much just a big green blob. The new Jade Falcon is way more detailed and looks far better. The old one is bland and boring.

[WarHorseOne]

I personally prefer all the classic iterations except for the Jade Falcon, the new one beats the green pigeon on a stick hands down!

Out of all the people that are conflicted, the consensus seems to be:

Wolf - Classic
Bear - Classic
Jag - Modern
Falc - Modern

If there was a vote for that split, I honestly think it would win over either of the existing options.

[AdamBaines]

Voted. I like all of the redesigns, except the Wolf one. Other then that, I say redesigns.

[Dirus Nigh]

I voted classic. However I honestly think if PGI makes another go at the logos a middle ground style be nice.

For example I like the leaping jaguar of the new logo, it just needs to be a nice dark smokey grey. The background image can be positioned and drawn a little closer to the original.

The original falcon looks to wide and fat, but the sword looks like a sword. The new falcon looks good but it should look like it is soaring, or diving for prey, and have more a silhouette.

Clan wolf original can look less geometric. The new wolf head looks snarly mad. When the clan itself are actually more level headed. It could look less organic. The colors are good.

Ghost Bears original is solid. Keep that design but maybe think about the colors a bit.

[Kageru Ikazuchi]

I know this isn't a la carte, but ...

All this is purely subjective, and my personal opinion (everybody has one).

Clan Ghost Bear ... classic looks better ... I think it's really just the slightly-downward angle of the bear's head that does it. It looks more menacing, like it's roaring at you (instead of over you).

Clan Jade Falcon ... modern looks better ... I really like the added shades and detail on the falcon. The sword's hilt could use a little more contrast with the mottled grey background, though.

Clan Wolf ... classic looks better ... I think the extra detail on the modern is just a little too busy ... maybe just the extra detail on the eye, snout, and teeth is just a little too much.

Clan Smoke Jaguar ... I don't really like either of them ... I like the 3/4 profile jaguar in the modern logo, but don't like that it's all black (maybe if it was black with grey highlights or grey with black shading). I don't like the frontal view, and definitely don't like the mottled grey texture ... perhaps if it looked like a jaguar and not a panther (modern) or a cut-out template of a big cat (classic).

Yep, through the whole thread I have noticed that trend as well.

[SpikeTank]

Jag - Modern (old one is very weird)
Falc - Modern (the clan name is falcon not Jade pigeon)

[Hellcat420]

thank god, those "modern" ones look like they belong in that wretched battletech cartoon.

[1453 R]

Good effort on the reimagined emblems, really good work and I liked the vibrant colors and standout nature of them...but I can't vote to keep them. They just don't fit with the rest of the game's emblems, and while that sorta does work for the Clan Invasion, it's one of those things that just doesn't quite sit right.

Too bad we can't vote for creative tweaks to the existing emblems. If we could get rid of the Rabid Dog Eyeball on the standing CW emblem and tilt the Ghost Bear head down a smidgeon, I probably would've voted to keep the existing emblems. Kinda stinks to see all this cool coloration and linework go away.

Sad face.

[Deimir]

While I like the 'classic' Wolf icon better, I like the 'refreshed' version of Jade Falcon better. I have no opinion for the other two clans, I think both designs for each of them are fine.
