Hello everybody! Among the few graphical issues of Rising Tide, one of the most evident is the poor color choice of the Chungsu faction, as well as the color they've chosen to implement.
Issue 1 | The color is too similar to Brasilia's one!
There are many screenshot showing that the two faction use almost indistinguishable colors! Worse still, many gaming computers use color enhancing software that change the brightness and saturation of games, making the difference between the two non-existent!
Issue 2 | They didn't bother to finish the logo; it's incomplete!
Every logo has a few components: a nice solid square edge, a gradient background, a forefront logo and a *little* bit of glow added to it. See ARC's example below (illuminati confirmed):
Chungsu's logo has the following issues:
- Square edge is just a bit too thin
- Background color is too light, and there is no gradient to it
- Foreground logo has a gradient, but - again - why go for green?
The idea of 'non-completeness' is further reinforced by the following - have a look at Denmark logo from CIV 5 in their beta version and in the final version.
Which one is more reminding of Chungsu's current logo?
A modest proposal
Keep the current logo design (the sonar/tidal wave icon), which is quite nice. But revamp the color scheme completely!
Below is my modest proposal of how a cool Chungsu color scheme/logo should look like. The yin-yang is just an example icon, they should of course keep the current one!
That new color scheme would be easier to distinguish (it's the red they didn't use for the North Sea Alliance faction); and the style of it comprises all of the aesthetic elements I've mentioned before.
Somebody *please* send this to Firaxis, so I can find some peace and sleep at night!
