Thanks! Perhaps add "alt" to the end or start of each file name, so that these don't overwrite people's existing factions? I'd rather be able to play with either original or these.

I will post the changes in a few minutes.

Any new ideas? I have a few. First, perhaps, I should swap the hive's Impunity, Police state with immunity efficency. Also, I might swap the conclave's immunity support with impunity, fundametalist. What do you think?

Sounds like a good swap for the Hive. Will change Mirriam a fair amount, make her less of a good builder because no free demo, but make war easier with free fundy.

I want your honest opinion about the quality of my alternate logos (especially the morgan, labyrinth, believer, and university logos). Do you think I should re-design them from scratch? The reason I say this is because I see all of these other great logos made by other people and I feel like mine pale in comparison.

Also, if other users think I need to redesign or make the logos, then I am definitely going to ask for help from this community to design and make the logos. My intention for involving the community, if they are willing, is so that most of the designers and perhaps users like them. Please tell me what your thoughts and opinions are on this topic.

I really need to now other peoples opinions on whether you dislike, like, are indifferent or whatever about the current logo design. If you do not like them, then please help by giving some possible design suggestions.

Patience, my young padiwan.

I really like what you've done - except, off the top of my head, the Conclave and Spartan logos aren't different enough from the originals, and thus look like (sorry) simply inferior versions.  It's nothing you're incapable of fixing.

One of the major reasons I have brought this up is because no matter how many times I redesign the Labyrinth Logo, I just can not seem to get the right feeling from it. I do not know if it simply something I keep doing or something else. So if anyone has an idea on how to improve them, then please tell me.

Post just the logo, and I'll try to get on having a look today, and probably do a little fiddling in GIMP.

I've attached a very quick-and dirty idea draft about the Conclave - change the background shape from an omega to a church...

I have many different designs that vary in size, shape and other qualities. Here are some samples plus the original design ideas.

From all your derived incons, the University's and Morgan's look best to me.
The Hive's one is nice, but does remind me of a SW Tie fighter. ;)

From the other factions, the originals look better.  :2c:

I have some free time today, so I can start working on the changes to the logos. So more ideas on how they could be improved would be appreciated. Let me give some examples. For example, lets say that I wanted to make the eye in the labyrinth logo larger or by adding a scanlined version of the logos to the package.

On another topic, I think the labyrinth logo is supposed to be an eye inside of a maze with walls on each side of it. What do you think?

Rounded walls? Dunno...
To me, besides my Tie impression, it reminds me of cat's eye.

@Sigma, how did you make such amazing logos for your custom factions? If you would like to share some insight, I would be more than willing to listen.
