As the custom factions have came, I decided to make some logos and thought, that I would share.
Here is archive with 10 logos:http://www.speedyshare.com/NRDVB/download/galciv-Logos.zip
some previews:
How did you make them?
Many thanks! More is better!
GREAT, how do I get them into my game?
I am guessing just dump them into the my games/galciv3/factions/logos
EDIT: Tested and it seems to work! Hooray!
Nice!
I've made them in Photoshop.
I will be making more soon.
Interesting question actually can you package graphics in with a MOD or do they have to go in the base game folders.
If you don't have photoshop, GIMP is free and also good for creating these sorts of things.
These are just images, so as Bamdorf said, just put them in my_games/galciv3/factions/logos.
I am graphic designer. I don't imagine making these without masks,folders and clipping etc. ... Even Inkscape or Corel would be better for making these, since they are Vector.
GIMP has masks, true it's not really vector based although you can do some vector stuff, I made some logo's for Elemental using just GIMP, mostly by missing and matching elements of other logos in layers then merging down adding a few filters and saving as PNG. Wasn't really all that hard.
Put yes all sorts of tools you could use, I've used GIMP a fair amount so I find that pretty easy.
The real point was can they be included in the mod folder structure rather than the game folder structure.

Online editor through which I've already made some around 50+ logos and portraits for my future custom factions from quite a lot of sci-fi universes)
I am a little leery of making a lot of custom races atm because we are still in beta buy your pictures will always be in play. Thanks again.
Thank you so very much for your post! I just wanted to see what size and format the logos should be - and now I can do some of my own... including Star Trek Terran Empire logo, and some variation of my own for the factions I came up with .
All I need to find out now is what format the BG's, FG's and Portraits should be, and I can create some cool factions, before someone actually creates a real mod .
R3bel02, thanks for sharing these!
Yes, they can.
You just need to include a "Gfx" folder in you mod folder (with the relevant subfolders)
Cool logos and thanks for your hard work
Those logos are very good indeed!
Thx for your fine logos.
