Petition to change LI YONG-RUI Logo

It's bad enough that his faction's color looks like a highlighter ink. But the LOGO ??? Clearly, this after thought faction drew the short straw on the PP logo roulette. What exactly is that symbol supposed to be anyway? A ringed planet that exploded into the shape of two fangs? I am being perfectly serious when I say, that his LOGO is the major reason why I cannot join his power, or take it seriously. Nevermind that it has the weakest lore and pretext for existence possible. A greedy company that pays 3x the usual amount for useless exploration data? Yeah, that's plausible. If it had been a science based faction like Antal's, the rank 5 bonus might make more sense. Or if we could colonize planets after gathering enough exploration data... but still, those utterly stupid fangs make me think, "if FD ever allows us to paint our ships or have faction Logo's, I would never go out in public looking like a Vampire Sharpie"

For comparison, look at the Alliance logo. I HATE trading to death, because it is utterly and unceasingly boring. But Mahon's logo screams "join US! we are the cool power that every one want's to say they are a part of, like being Irish on St. Patty's day in Boston :D ". Such a friendly shade of green too. Not the radioactive vomit green of Li Yong-Rui. Maybe FD is trying to emphasize that corporate goverments seriously lack imagination, or really just don't care at all about inspiring their population to unity. Nothing says, "hey what are you looking at, get back to work!" like a logo that is too boring and senseless to be anything but a corporate placeholder for patriotism.

Apparently this is supposed to be an "S". In which case here is a small mountain of superior S logos for FD to "borrow" ideas from in case they decided that Sirius Corp wants to rebrand itself:

Its a logo. I think you spent too much time looking at them. Its not a big deal.
Don't base your game play on something so superficial.
 
Honestly, I don't know why no one has said it yet... but... here goes...

Why so Sirius?

*And I'm out the door into the field running toward that grassy hill...*

What?

You don't get the Logo obviously, so it's not for you. Stay off my faction.

It's a S for Sirius! Develop some pattern recognition skills.
 
Wow, it is so ugly I couldn't see that it was obviously supposed to be an S. My mind is blown. Not at the revelation that is an "S" but rather because even now when I look it, I am still so dazzled by the hideousness of the "S" symbol that I can only see fangs that seriously need some chlorine bleach and a toothbrush. Sorry if this offends any Siriuns out there. But I am actually dead serious: this is one fugly logo. So without vomiting more hatred at the neon S-tooth-hoolahoop, I will just let you know that I updated the OP with a half dozen alternative Sirius LOGO suggestions. Please take a look and see if any of them offend you as much as my honest opinion of the current Sirius radioactive-fang-vomit "logo". Your feedback and facepalms are appreciated equally.


YES I REALIZE THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DISCUSS. SUCH AS WHY HORIZONS IS SO EXPENSIVE, WHY COMBAT LOGGING IS FROM SATAN, PLUS THE OBLIGATORY 210+ PAGES WORTH OF OPEN VS SOLO AD HOMINEMS. BUT THIS IS MY PET PEEVE FOR THE DAY :p SO FEEL FREE TO RAIL AT THIS POST. OR ME. OR JOIN ME AND RAIL AT THE UGLY LOGO ITSELF. BUT MOST OF ALL, IF YOU CARE AS MUCH AS I DO ABOUT MEANINGLESS APPEARANCES IN A VIDEO GAME WITH A WONKY AND RARELY USED 3RD PERSON CAMERA WHERE YOUR SHIP IS USUALLY TOO DARK TO SEE ANYWAY, PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR OWN IDEA OF WHAT MAKES A PERFECT LOGO PERFECT. ON THE OFF CHANCE THAT FD FINALLY ALLOWS US TO PASTE OUR FACTION LOGO AS A LIVERY DECAL.

Those fangs are an "S" just like you propose to have...

But Mahon's logo screams "join US! we are the cool power that every one want's to say they are a part of, like being Irish on St. Patty's day in Boston :D ". Such a friendly shade of green too.

Mahon is the most corporate power in PP right now. He is 3/3 finance ethos.

Yes of course that is the point. To replace the hideous and tragic S-fangs with a sleek and modern looking logo worthy of a company that could take over 1/10 of human existence.


And no, being pro-corporation and pro-commerce are NOT the same thing, even if many simple people believe this to be true. Mahon himself is falling for this fallacy lately since he is letting too many core systems fall to corporate rule. Which is unfortunate because the Alliance is now on the path to becoming a corrupt plutocracy like the Federation.
 
I find all the logo's you submitted as 'superior' much worse. I really couldn't disagree with you more about it.

As long as someone falls under the illusion that plunging into plutocracy is a matter of election processes and not socialistic values(or lack thereof to be precise), sure.

If democracy and communism were immune to plutocracy, everyone would be happy. But it's quite evident that it's not the case.

The spread of corporate systems is mostly due to PP mechanics. Blame FD for being lazy and having favorable governments on ethos instead of the power itself. (i.e. finance control always favors corporate. There is no ethos that favors democracy like Mahon should.) Still, that doesn't mean we are turning to the federation. There has been a lot of spread from democracies to anarchies outside Mahon space. And some small moves towards getting dictatorships out.

We also have a very different constitution so one corporation can only control their system, not the whole Alliance.

Notice how Sol is full of democracies? So is Alioth. Does that make them the same even though we know that Sol is ruled by corporations despite the democratic cover?

Heartfelt apologies for having a different opinion to you Ziljan, and expressing it.
You seem to be embodying a cliché yourself.

While I can empathize with your general sentiment - and the frustration at the apparent futility of the entire argument, because let's face it, FD won't change it - I personally do like the logo very much, in fact I find it one of the best out of the entire lot.
