Topic: Make your own corporation logos!

There's been a few requests in the past to put some more symbols into the corporation logo creator, but since you, the players know much better what you'd like to see than we do, we decided to do a little community outsourcing.

Here are the rules:

  • The logos have to be in black&white vector format, preferably .ai .eps .svg or .pdf. (bitmap image in pdf won't cut it)

  • No vulgarity, pornography, offensive content, or stuff that might be in any way inappropriate.

  • No copyrighted content.

  • The logos will be added to the current pool of common symbols, and will be available to everyone. Therefore keep in mind that your symbols can and probably will be used by others as well, so do not create too specific logos!

  • A certain minimum quality level must be reached, this is obviously in your interest also.

The received logos will be checked against the rules and if they are deemed ok, they will get the necessary treatment and probably get in with the next patch.

You can post your creations here with the help of some random filesharing site, or in a private message to me if you prefer to remain anonymous.

Re: Make your own corporation logos!

Is this an opportunity to upload your own corporation logo or additional symbols that will be added to the selection that everyone can use?

I'm pretty sure it's the latter however the OP could also be interpreted as to the former.

Re: Make your own corporation logos!

The latter, edited for clarity.

Re: Make your own corporation logos!

Great idea.  I have to say I've never heard of your formats before but doing some quick research it seems that GIMP supports .eps and .svg and there are some other freeware/opensource programs on this wiki for .ai if you don't have access to it.

Re: Make your own corporation logos!

It would be really nice to get an image containing all the current symbols for comparison.

Simple suggestion. Allow rotation of icons please. A lot of icons could be removed if you added icon rotation (Slider 0 to 359 degree). Also, I am sure I can see the same icon twice. First on the second row middle (The cross) is also on the 4th line from the bottom.

Some ideas:
Diamond or club symbols?
Generic robot head symbol?
Cog/Gear symbols?

Does this mean that at some point there will be the possibility of creating advertisment space somewhere within the game world that can be rented by trader, people offering service or corps? smile

Wow, today must be the day of requests that are already in the game smile

Another freeware program you can use for vector images is Inkscape. Works pretty well.
