What are some ships that need visual touch-ups?

CCP is doing a great job going over and rebalancing ships lately, and many things are getting a new makeover! But what are some vessels that you think could use a bit of a brush-up?

In my personal opinion, the Impel needs to be revisited. The Bestower hull is awesome for a hauler, but what's with the American guts-n-glory chopper exhaust pipes? I giggle every time I see them. One of the more comical ships, imo. Surely there can be a more creative addition to the vessel that still differentiates it from the hum-drum Bestower. :)

If any artist even considers looking at the Omen, many people will hunt him down mercilessly.

Basically everything Caldari that hasn't already been revamped.

There's assymetry... and then there's fuggin' ugly. Pretty much all Caldari ships fall into the latter.

The V3 process improved many of the ships, but Caldari ships still look horrible. There's no way to save them without a complete revamp.

I think Caldari Cruisers in general could use a touch up. The Condor and Bantam as well. Are the rest are pretty much fine. Imicus and Celestis could use some love. Minmatar I can't say for sure I like most of their ships but would not mind touch ups. Harbinger turret if that is still an issue, the Aeon and Apocalypse.

On a small scale I would like the Raven to get a little bit more wing on the stubby side, besides that it is a great ship. The Dominix is two centuries old and its do all design of Drones, Guns, EWAR is the kind of ship a smaller starting empire would game out as their first big Battleship instead of single valuable rolls. It looks like it was used to carry troops as well. It reminds me a lot of a Battlestar. I hope if the redesign it they will keep its age and multipurpose design in mind.

The Aeon does look weird, the Apocalypse looks very cool to me, but I suppose some of the design could be touched up with regards to how angular it can be (maybe), but I've actually never really liked the Harbinger's look. I mean yeah, it looks kinda mean, but it doesn't exactly look Amarrian. It's the one that never lined up. Wings and lots of odd cylinders on a fat and pretty awesome head/body.

The Prophecy is still a fat golden Chicken, so it could get a little sleeker, but I wouldn't change much else about it. I love its bird of prey look.

Can't speak to the Dominix much, but I doubt it can get much better than the good old pimped domi. :)

New Vargur "fins" look too much like a fish. They should be less circular.

That clumsy space-potato look reminds more of Gallente and doesn't go well with Amarr.

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

Celestis / Exequeruehwerifhihfghfkjdshfdshflkjsds-whatever it is

Maybe Iterons texture wise, its kinda blurry compared to the rest of the newer ones.

I mostly fly Gallente, so Dominix.

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.

many textures and details could be improved etc but the asymmetry of some ships is completely wonderful and should never change

i just locked an open door.. strange, yet symbolically compelling.

Imicus/Helios. I live in wormholes and I have to see it every time I scan. I guess that's the real reason cloaking technology was invented.

I vote for Dominix, Typhoon, and Moa as the next redesigns.

Thrusters on the Badgers always made me nghhh, they're too lowpoly.

Tormentor should be revamped to look a little less like the lolwut pear
