I think Lady Shaniqua makes the Hydra Reloaded logo argument much better. And with more humour.

That logo looks like hell. I think it goes back to the whole "total lateral ship skinning" argument CCP has made against such broad tools for pods. If they give you the ability to do anything goonswarm is going to have a fleet of p3nis ships going after your hello kitty fleet. It ruins the aesthetic of the game...

Let me put it another way: I'm cognizant of the high probability that you are just a group of dudes who live in your respective mother's basements, but in EvE you are playing corporate big wigs with tremendous resources. At least throw a nod to your imaginary PR department. That logo is garbage.

Signatures should be used responsibly...

Its of extreme irony that the Hydra Reloaded logo is seen as having "no artistic merit". Who's judging this? Hopefully not whomever came up with the ******** idea of painting camo (and keep updating it) on Spaceships. Has anyone seen any Space Jungles lately?

That truly serves no purpose and is immersion breaking. Because its all about immersion right? Eve Online roleplays as a SUPER SERIOUS game where everyone is a CUTTHROAT, in a corporate future of seriousness. The thing is corporations in Eve online really dont work like real corporations as much as they work as WoW guilds. And Eve Online is not a super serious game.

You can't allow goons be goony, redditors be derps and pubbies be pubs, just because they are large online communities who can threadnaught for a cause. Hydra Reloaded is also an online community, you don't get to discriminate against it just because its small.

Its won twice your alliance tournament (sup PL), its provided you with hours of Garmon/Suitonia/Duncant Tanner/etc famous elite PvP videos, which in many ways have more effort put into it than "DRAGON FLOT, BURN THEM DOWN", and stories like Joe Pubbies MOST LARGEST SCAM EVER OMG SO CUTTHROAT which I will add to this cause because he rolled with us when that happened (citation needed).

The least you can do for all the publicity and content Hydra Reloaded has given you, is allow the use of whatever as an alliance logo. Be glad, at least its not a goatse.

I too have noticed, whoever is in charge of saying yes or no to the alliance logo is still on an incredibly big highhorse.

The judge is CCP, since it's their game. The logo is clearly intentional mega crap and I can understand why CCP doesn't want it in their game. You are correct in saying that the space camo is indeed totally pointless on spaceships, but so are all ship paints, so it's not really an immersion issue. It just looks bad, but nevertheless the skins are high quality work.

What hydra has or hasn't done is entirely irrelevant too. The only relevant issue is their suggested logo and as I said, it's obviously a horrible abomination that was brought in to existence by some artisticly challenged special individual and has somehow succesfully evaded the trashbin/delete, where that abomination can finally find the quick release it has desperately craved for all this time. CCPs position seems to be, that as long as hydra refuses to euthanize that thing and redo it properly, they didn't really want a logo anyway.

Compared to other alliance logos, ours looks quite eve oriented. A logo doesn't have to be all straight lines, you know.

About the space camo let me ask you this, when was the last time you eye balled a shot at the hostile target?

Most of the cameo patters look barrowed from the armies btw and if you looked at the current interation of the space cameo ships they're not that bad anymore as they used to be.

explain it all you want, but a crayon doodle don't cut it
there's a difference between having no artistic talent (as in the other example) and not trying like your logo

why not just submit dickbutt for a logo?

I personally associate that squiggly circle as being HYDRA RELOADED whenever and wherever I've seen it (external forums, videos, etc.). It's been around long enough for it to be instantly recognizable as their thing.

It really is their identity. Nobody other entity in-game has a recognizable squiggly mess for a brand logo and anyone who copycats their gimmick now would be publicly derided for being dumb and unoriginal. It can only be done once and these guys have earned the brand recognition to be the guys with the 'the hell is that?' logo.

I was encouraged to come post in the name of Justice, and so for Justice I post.

While I generally find Duncan's post obnoxious, it seems entirely ridiculous to discriminate against any logo based on anything but its capacity to offend. As the Hydra logo is clearly not offensive, it should obviously be allowed.

And in fact, I can't imagine a logo that more accurately represents the slobbering bunch of weirdos that make up Hydra Reloaded.

Be cool ccp.

Maybe we should just have a bunch of dots like CCP's logo? At least ours is EVE related.
