Get reedy for people arguing over each other's ratings, because of different selections each player made the previous rotation. lol Eventually you can get them all, just a matter of time.

ATT: NATAH of the SENTIENTS I am a TENNO. I do not speak for all of us, but this is what I believe. The Lotus is alive. She lives in us now: in our hearts and in our will. The essence of what she was: what she was supposed to be, will guide me regardless of if she herself was real or not. I recognize that you are a victim of the OROKIN the same as I, and for that I offer you this one opportunity to make a choice. Leave the ORIGIN SYSTEM and never return. I will not track you. I will not hunt you. You are free to take as many of your kin with you as you wish. Build a new empire in another galaxy if you wish. However if you stay, and you choose to aid in this NEW WAR, you will be shown no quarter. You will not be forgiven. And you will bring ruin to your family. Behold! This is "Matricide". You do recognize her shape. Know well both the meaning of her name and the conviction it brings. And be warned, while I only speak for myself, She is not alone. I have no desire to shackle you once again as an unwilling surrogate. You have suffered enough, and for that you have my pity. Do not throw away your life in a misguided attempt at revenge. Perhaps one day our children can find The Undiscovered Country where our peoples may live in peace. But today, these will have been the last kind words I can offer you. If next we meet in battle, it will be your end. Please, my friend. Choose to live. - holyicon, Warmaster of the Albion Alliance, Thane of Clan Sangraal, Defender of the Origin System.

“If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to serve as a horrible warning.” -Catherine Aird 03 March 2014 ----== PART 1 ==---- So as it goes when you're the warlord of a clan. Eventually you come to the point where adding a clan emblem sounds like a good idea. You crack open photoshop or gimp or some .org editor of some description, and start painting. This is what I came up with… Eventually you start asking yourself in the back of your head, "I wonder what this gradient will look like in-game?" ... But you know that there's going to be a mysterious preview before uploading. As seen here: So it "looks" okay (as far as the preview is concerned) but you also know that the wiki makes subtle suggestions regarding contrast and transparency. Well, I can tell you first hand that they are NOT joking around. Though for the time being I was eagerly awaiting the Wednesday update and my shiny new emblem being on my trinity's arm. Emphasis on the "shiny": Still, I though, "Maybe it's just the lighting in the dojo... how bad could it be in a mission?" My heart ... the floor was not low enough: Now for my part, I can leave those settings off and it's fine. Though as far as a representation of my clan, I can only assume another player would think I'm in some J. J. Abrams' fan club themed clan. Which, isn't all that bad I suppose, just, not optimally my goal. Next time I'll know better, but I cant help but think how nice it would be to have a previewer within the game's engine. Wishful I know. There's so many other things to work on first. But I can dream, dammit! I plan to update one day once the sting of losing 150p wears off. 23 April 2014 ----== PART 2 ==---- After some personal research I made changes to my image and re-submitted it (again for another full 150p): 20 December 2015 ----== PART 3 ==---- I Wanted to come back and expand on a few tips for you artists, to get your emblem ready to upload into Warframe: 23 February 2016 ----== PART 4 ==---- Concerning Image Size, Downsampling and Exporting: 01 May 2016 ----== PART 5 ==---- Concerning emblem resubmittal using Zendesk support tickets instead of platinum. 22 September 2018 ----== SPECIAL ==---- Tenno povo844 is (as of September 2018) offering Emblem Design Services, Please check out his awesome thread HERE! {If you are a designer, and would like to offer a similar service, please contact me by private message, and I'll add your details as soon as I can.} As always, have fun out there, be kind to each other, but equally mean to those that oppose the Tenno! - holyicon - P.S. BEFORE PMing ME. I have been (over the past few years of the post) inundated with personal requests of "my Clanz EMblem , plz help!!" While this was never a service I offered, I have done my best to help as many people as I can who have completed their own emblem but need help formatting them for upload to warframe. I have also had to turn down a significant number of requests asking me to create an emblem for their clan from scratch. My schedule does not permit me to make art copy for free nor will I take on paying clients via these channels. Over time the number of requests and amount of work needed to 'fix' emblems to ready them for Warframe has increased. And all I'm really doing is following the steps from my own post to do this. With minimal additional considerations. Again, this was never a service I intended to provide, I only wanted to make a guide so that other players could get to the endpoint I reached faster. If you still think you need help after reading this post please visit the Players helping Players thread and ask there with a reference to this post as a guide. Even if it's just to use somebody else's Photoshop skills, I'm sure there are plenty of Tenno willing to help, I'm only one. Righteous Steve - of harrowed code - of hallowed patches. Speak. For an age you've guarded the divide between Update and Reinforcement. Speak. From within your everlasting sacred office, you've held the lidless bourbon. Speak! AN OPEN LETTER TO NATAH
