I'm a graphic designer/Artist of 20 years.
Now I know that this is a subjective call. Furthermore I realise that for this next phase of Planetside this isn't going to change. Mostly due to the logistics.
However an opinion is just that.
I think that the guys really should have looked at the faction logos. I think the NC one is Ok however the other two really are poor. I would expect something like that from a first year arts student.
Considering just how pivotal these designs are to the rest of the game I would've thought that these designs really could have been reworked and improved to reflect the awesome qualities that the rest of the game exhibits.
Just my 2 cents.
