In the interest of competition and motivation I feel we need to help make the CCP teams be more unique through team branding. I feel this will lead to a more driven office environment resulting in more aggressive content and more ruthless dev blogs. I have some ideas for team avatar, hence forth known as The Team Avatar, as they have a special place in my heart.

Slogans/Catchphrases: "Holla holla, The Team Avatas worth more than Na'vi resource dollas" "Dev blog coming soon" "Lockin doors, and bangin, out various lores" "If ya smellalalalaaa, what The Team Avatar, issss coooookin...in our captains quarters" "The Team Avatar 3:16 means I just podded yur can!"

Jersey design: The Team Avatar will wear all white jerseys with brown splashes on them representing all the mud that the forum folk have slung at them for the last few years.

Logo: The Team Avatar logo will be a crow, under the crow it will say "get ready to eat it" representing the crow prior said forum folk will be forced to eat once The Team Avatar wow us with WIS and Avatar combat.

From this point on The Team Avatar should post in 3rd person and call everyone jabronis.

Any other team branding ideas?

So branding with slogans, not hot irons?

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

Well if I were a team member I would probably get the team logo made into a brand, then branded onto my huge bicep. Team Pride!

Motivating an Icelander? And you didn't mention alcohol? Your plan is doomed to failure.

I say they should all form in-game corporations that are all part of the CCP Alliance and then they hold competitions to see which corp has the most forum likes at the end of the month (relative to the beginning of the month) and the winning team all get a small pay bonus that month's paycheck.

This has several advantages:
-Promotes communication with the player-base
-Gives the developers healthy competition with each other to make the workplace more exciting while also giving them team patriotism to push on and work at their best
-Being grouped into dev team corporations would let players track which teams devs are on and when in-game simply by looking at corp history
