I swear between beta and launch you have picked the two absolute worst chest insignias in the game for Bat country.
The swirly was just silly, but I suppose I could live with an intentionally stupid insignia.
But the line graph? WTF?
When going through character creation with my wife, she bust out laughing at two insignias. The bar graph and the swirly. I kid you not. There were others she would call lame, and all the numbers and letters got a loud "Phhhhhhtt" from her, but only those two got outright laughing out loud at their stupidity.
Her comment on the bar graph one was, "What would you name a character with that? Nasdaq?" I replied, "I would name him 'Dow Johnes' (intentional mispelling)". To which she laughed again.
I also don't know what was wrong with our old colors that seemed to be mich nicer.
I don't see myself going into supergroup mode ever.

I don't mind wearing the Bat Country insignia at all. I don't mind showing it off to everyone who passes by.
Of course, most people don't see what's on my chest because I'm face down on the ground... DEAD.

Hey hey. I went through every symbol the night I made the group. IN FACT I asked everyone in the group and rambled a bunch off. It's only a line graph if you look at it as a line graph. So, in fact, Alluvian, I think you sir, are teh bigger Loser. :)
In other news, I tried to pick 'no symbol', wasn't an option.

No symbol would have been the best symbol probably, oh well.
You can't really call it a richter scale, the line path is nothing at all like what that would give you.
What else is it if it isn't a line graph? A square with a scratch in it?
We would not have this problem if they just had a darn bat symbol.
On the plus side, my chest is all one color so I can just make the symbol dissapear.
Oh, and I never called you a loser. I just said you are lousy at picking symbols. And I was wondering why the colors changed (not really that worried about that part though). Not that I mind being called a loser, it is a pretty accurate statement. I am just clearing things up :)

Oh, look at me, I'm having tea and buttered SCONES on the setee with Roger after playing croquet! I'm actually surprised I was able to come up with a doable color combo using the red and yellow. Though from afar, it looks like I've a Japanese Zero meatball flag on my chest. |

Haemish, your uhm...it's grey and maroon (the supergroup colors). Where are the yellow and red? What supergroup are you in?
Alluvian, trust me I hated EVERY single symbol option. There may be a day when we have to remake the entire group if they add a 'no symbol' or another metric fuckton of symbols. I was saying the night I picked it that whoever made all these needs to be shitcanned.

I think Haemish is getting confused- he has been moonlighting at McDonald's so he can upgrade his PC.

I like the colors, other than the fact that the Blue Bomb is supposed to be BLUE. But still, it fits my sort of techno armor outfit. (Which I thought very fitting for a mutant. I'm going to make a Science background and dress him in a hooded baggy clothes type outfit. )
As for the symbol...well, other than some issues with Signe's boobs last night the symbol seems fine. Though I'm not sure what the "Crack" she refered to was.

Well, I suppose it COULD have been the smiling Jolly Rogers symbol. I think they took abit too many liberties with the 'Jolly' part of that.
Some of the simple ones are not TOO bad. Hell, the giant "0" would have been better than the line graph though. Some of them are okay symbols, but I just can't imagine what kind of superhero would ever wear them. The celtic ones are not awful, but who would have that on their chest? There was one that was not too bad of a circle around a tree, some nice shading in it, but only for a freaking druid or "NATURE BOY". Or maybe "The Green Piece". Okay, that last one actually amuses me.

Sorry, the yellow color was from my original series of colors. I forgot I just replaced the black in my gloves and boots with the Bat Country red.
I'm very tired. The fry machine is broken.

It looked like a blob with a crack in it to me, so I named it 'schild's crack'. I reckoned it was something to do with his family's long plumbing history.
What do I know?
