Hehe thank you We went with a LeMans-alike design here

[Xpand]

Thanks! The team/pilot is actually from New Zealand!

[Ace3000]

Ah, yes, on closer inspection, that IS a NZ flag, not Australia. Still, that's awesome!

I like that Triakis exhuast looking really good!

[Sausehuhn]

If it helps I would gladly contribute some of the sponsors done for the WipEout Deceit Project

[Xpand]

Hey Sausehuhn.
Well the problem about using those sponsors is that we're not sure we can use Wipeout related content. We've been trying to contact Sony about that matter, but we haven't got any reply yet, so we're trying to keep all Wipeout references to a minimum. If we manage to get permission from Sony, then we will consider your offering.

Thanks!

[Sausehuhn]

Yep, I can clearly see that. Then again, there’s still a hand full of sponsors left, not related at all

[Xpand]

Well, ok, PM me your skype name so I can add you to the group for file sharing.

I love that Cen-R skin Xpand!

By the way, I noticed something interesting. Coincidence or inspiration? The first is the turbo symbol. The second one is the flag of the Aichi prefecture in Japan. Striking resemblance, no?

I stumbled across this because while I think everything else is looking brilliant (the tracks, ship models, item symbols), I feel that the team and sponsor logos are comparatively lacking. They don't have that same professional feel that everything else in SSGX has. Just compare the WipEout team logos to the SSGX ones. The WipEout ones just have a much more professional feel. I know, that kind of criticism isn't that useful, but I think in general the issue is that the SSGX ones feel too "busy". Especially Amphithere and Atlas. Also Ifreet and Logos look a little too similar.

Anyway, I thought that this page with all the flags of Japanese prefectures have some great ideas. A lot of those flags have very clean designs on them which seem to fit well in the WipEout universe. I wanted to get some inspiration and try to come up with some alternate team logo designs.

Long story short, looks like someone had a similar idea to draw ideas from these flags =) Either that or just an insane coincidence that they turned out so similarly!

If it helps I would gladly contribute some of the sponsors done for the WipEout Deceit Project

If you mean that you're the one who made sponsors like Cosmic Cab, 12A Global Engineering, Katmoda Project, I-TEC Activator, and KING, SSGX would benefit greatly from your work! The sponsor mockups for WipEout deceit look outstanding. I imagine there shouldn't be any copyright issues since these aren't actually connected to the real WipEout in any way.

Hey!
Thanks for the criticism. Yeah I also agree that some team logos need to be updated. Most of thost you said haven't been updated since like 2 years ago.

[docfo4r]

Hey there, thanks for your critique.
And you got 100%, our weapon logos are all inspired by the japanese city and prefecture symbols, only some are modified a bit. You can try to find all belonging japanese symbols for each pickup logo
But because of that we use won't those style of art at any other sponsor logo we have. The pickup symbols have to stick out to the rest of the art in the game, or better said: It has to be another group to fit in.

[SZEIKAN]

Ah yes, I just found oryxcake's original post and thought I recognized the Akita prefecture symbol. Also Hiroshima.

Anyway, glad to see you're considering updating the team logos. I also noticed TypeProton's sponsors just now and they're great. Well, there goes my primary concerns! Keep up the great work!

I went to the website today and it's nice to see some of the team logos have been worked on =) Looking good. Not to mention the new Team pages are nice. Is the Advanced View not implemented at the moment?
