The logo which you are trying to submit looks as though it has essentially been made with Microsoft Paint, and it probably was.

Logos of other major alliances which you showed us all look very professional on the most part and are also pretty unique, such as the logo of Goonswarm Federation. Your logo on the other hand looks vastly unprofessional and certainly doesn't come across as unique.

Find a few artists in your alliance, challenge them to come up with several concept designs of a logo that would suit your alliance, and then reward the person who designs the best logo in some way.


The ships in EVE tend towards asymmetrical designs - people find them "odd" and "don't like them" - they want symmetry - sleek angles and shapes in use. bumpy, lumpy, out of easy pattern matching... That doesn't go over with many players because it doesn't sit easily on the eye. Yet CCP's original designs were purposefully "a bit off" with respect to ease of "human" pattern matching for the models. This is a bit farther afield but it also does have a sense of style to it.

Symmetry and the like is quite easy to reproduce with computer technologies. Simply patterns and filters to generate "pretty" logos and the like. Any moron can put a "stylish" logo together with ease using any free through high-end paint tool and scale it however they choose.

That one would take some time and be far more difficult to reproduce due to it's "hand drawn" style.

I may not like hydra's logo much but I do see it's value. It is "different" - very different from any other logo in the game. It does stand out.

Literally - who does it hurt and in what way?
- It's not obscene, it's just oddly "ugly"
- 2 years using it without recognition? That's tenacity if nothing else - all done in EVE.

A PvP group that's been around that long, with a logo they refuse to give up, no matter what others think of it... Yeah, I'd say with the small amount of effort that CCP has to invest... Why not give it to them?


Such a great post. Thank you.

I know whats art and it should wake up people, it has strong story and this is most awesome. CCP eve is full of matured players. CCP i really feel shame about your actions against this logo, you seem too hyppocritical, even too childish.

But anyway take logo with humour and it even looks retro.

thx anyway i like crucible and eve!

Sounds like CCP is just trolling you guys, 'cause that sheep in the linked slideshow really makes it obvious.

Anyway, if you feel like 'negotiating' further with CCP's art department, perhaps you'll need to show a little willingness to compromise. Maybe.

If anyone still thinks that Hydra should not have their logo in-game, I challenge you to look at this alliance's logo and tell me again with a straight face that Hydra still shouldn't have their logo ingame.

At least Hydra's logo stands for something, unlike the one posted above.

The only reason why this thread is still active is because hydra players keep posting.
This thread should be closed,
and the logo should be

Grow up and create a real logo. Take it ******* seriously. Do you think that that crayola scribble you have as a logo would fly in the real world? Sure you could use it. But your brand would not be taken seriously.

Remember. You are not running a guild. You are running a Corporation. And that Corporation is part of an Alliance of Corporations.

So make that Alliance's logo be something it's members can be proud of.

If I saw that scribble in game as an alliance logo, I'd file a bug report, then when told it was the real logo, I'd start a petition to get it removed.

Grow up.

Framing it like that's not bad tbh, but in principle we should get the original submitted one in.

We are not every other alliance and every member of Hydra is proud of this logo.

Trying to force us to fit within your views of what your ideal sandbox should be ruins the sandbox.

So many of the greatest and most influential art movements throughout history were mocked as rubbish, and were told they lacked effort or skill by the mainstream art institutions of their time.
Since dadaism however, it has been widely established that trying to be subjective and labeling art as "art" and "not art" is a stupid and ignorant ideal.

While ever Dark Taboo keep their logo, and Brick Squad while we're at it, CCP have got a ******* nerve talking about artistic merit and the Eve universe.
