Let's discuss the new name/logo of our alliance

Terra.

Terra.

This is the name and logo that now represents the alliance we're in. Now, I could deal with them on their own, in fact I was thinking that if we had gone with Foundation, we could shoop the bottom feather off of that bird to make his wing into a backwards "F", and it'd be a thing. Not a terrible logo for the alliance. But when you pair that bird with "Terra", you've got nothing. There's no connection between the word and the bird, and it just doesn't make sense.

Now, I'm not saying that jamesw is the worst Secretary General in history because of this, but I've never heard anyone say that he's not.

And what's the deal with Brits and birds? Every alliance they've ever been in has been represented with a bird. Don't believe me, you indignant hampster? Let me drop some knowledge on you:


Atlantis: ugliest logo in history, made by either a Swede or a Rumanian iirc.


Phoenix: this logo was actually very attractive. Subsequently, it was the one thing Penix had going for it.

We don't have to be bound by fate. We don't have to have a bird as our logo just because we accidentally let the UK into our alliance.

Look at me.

Do you really want this? Our alliance is named Terra, I can live with that. I can live with the bad puns from humorless countries: LOL HAIL NWO FAIL TERRABLE ALLIANCE XD. Son of a bitch, I'm an American. I'm used to everyone else's humor being childish compared to my own extremely mature and sofisticated humor that seamlessly travels from childish to mature, subtle to in your face. Yeah, I've dealt with these countries who think that Patch Adams is a worthwhile way to spend your time, and not just a mid tiered reference.

But it needs a better logo.

Terra means Earth. Earth, earth. We don't want to have the actualy image of Earth in the logo for two reasons: one, it's lame; and two, there is no Earth in this game, so don't even attempt to bring that imagery up. Rather than the image, let's go with the color brown. Earth tones. We don't want an image that's boring, but rather tranquil. Nothing too busy, just something simple and easy, with calming effects.

Which is why I propose this Koi fish as an upgrade from our current bird:


Nice, right?

But share your thoughts. We all know that this logo is god-awful, so let's improve it. As a matter of fact, I'll make a contest out of it: 10 gold to the best Terra image, I'll get the alliance to accept it.





Another thought: we have France, Canada, UK, USA . . . this is starting to sound familiar
