When will we see an improvement in player-corp icons?

Considering how important player-owned corporations are to the game, why haven't we seen an update or improvement to corp icons? I believe that we are limited to no more than 6 colours (black, white, grey, yellow, blue, red). What about other colours like green, purple, brown etc.? This shouldn't require much resources to update. How hard is it to expand our colour pallette to 1990 standards?

Appearance customization isn't exactly CCPs strong point. The offered variety is pretty poor in every aspect of the game.

I agree. I wish for the ability to create obnoxious, seizure inducing corp logo's.

I concur, although I think the threat of that is overstated. We have the ability to create disgusting looking avatars, but 99.9% of them are at least attempting to look good and the disgusting ones are mostly creative and funny. People seem to be happy with the customization options and don't really mind the offensive characters.

Better yet allow us to make custom corp logos in the way we can with alliances

You know how many trash "spawn and fail" corps there are? How many 1 man corps there are that are there just to make someone feel important?

No, just no

Double no to alliance style logos.

What we need is less corps that are larger, not more reason for people to ego and epeen about being a CEO.

And this relates to the topic in what way? The fact it has the word "corp" in it.....

I do kinda agree with the TC. More options would be nice but thats it, "be nice". I don't see it as being hugely important as it's just a logo.

Would not mind a bit more choises when doing my logo. At the same time who are you to say I need to stay in a large corp. I like to do my own thing.

The ability to "play dress up" with your corp, be that though "more pretty colours" or custom logos will do little more then encourage more people to start more pointless corps.

Which I think is bad.

Small corps are ok if they have a purpose beyond "I wanna feel important times" BUT there are entirely too many "ego corps" in game as it is and those corps who are purely there to make the CEO feel important as he sits in high sec, pulls in new players with no idea bout the game and indoctrinates them with "you can't do x until you have y" attitudes, in my mind, is a terrible thing.

A CEO has a responsibility to make the game fun for those in his or her corp. Push the players to try\experience new things and try and facilitate as many options as possible.

Not cling to their flimsy veil of power at the expense of their corp progressing.

Some of us like being our own boss. If I wanted to snip my own balls, I'd join the goons.

From my experience,

The alliances I've been in where it's 1000 people spread across 100 corps have functioned way less cohesively than when I've been in a corp of 1000.

Larger corps, in my experience, work together better.

If you're a 4 man pvp corp and you start flying with another 4 man pvp corp, merging together is a way better idea than forming an alliance nine times out of ten.

If highsec dwellers realized this maybe there would be more highsec people on the CSM.

Honestly, you guys got lucky with the 'bee'. That is a cool logo. I would love the ability to upload a corp logo though. Most other PvP based games that I played allowed you to make a guild and upload a thumbnail pic for your guild. Why not EVE? The choices for logos here are beyond limited, and all they need to do is open a tiny little piece of the game for someone to do what alliances already get to do with a corp. Make a button for CEOs that says 'upload image'. That is all. Put it in the horrid corp interface and let us design our own corp logos.

Have I mentioned that the corp interface has been horrible for 10 years now? Maybe they could fix that while they are letting us design our own logos. Just a thought.

Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought.

I don't know whose game forums you think you're on but these here are the forums for EVE Online, a sci-fi themed MMORPG.

In EVE, the only responsibility a CEO has is to make his own wallet fatter. If he can make his minions "have fun" while doing so, fair enough.

I agree. I feel my own corps logo can use some neon and some flashy strobe effects.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?
