Dunno if this has been posted yet, but I liked the old login screen better! That planet in the background was gorgeous -- and now you can't even see it! :(

I like that you added ranks and such but the UI border just adds nothing to it, but rather it takes away something that was quite eye-pleasing to begin with. I don't get why you did it this way...

    I really hate the new one, I think that for the improvment of the ranks was not
    worth the loss of the beautiful 3D enviroment that we had.

    In the old login there was still room for improvement but I feel this is the wrong way.

    Just my 2 cents.

    I like the old one better. Only think I like about the new one is the rank showing.

    I prefer the old one. I think it's silly having that huge area for a list of characters given that even with a Lifetime subscription you currently can only have five.

    The planet was nice and it's a shame to have it covered up.

    I liked the old one better too. New one has the ranks showing which is nice but other than that it looks like the character picture has been cut from the old one and pasted to a frame that was thrown together in MS paint. Combining the rank showing with the old screen with the nice enviroment would be really nice. :)

    I to miss the Old Charactor seletion screen..
    Just my 2Cents but the Old Character Selection was much better than this new one that replaced the old one. Coming from a graphic designer, this new Old Character Selection UI looks rushed, has a Pre-made feel to it like the designer didn’t know what to do so went with a premade grid and added blue colors. The Typography overall is average, but here, it’s badly placed, awkward, and not original at all. The "United Federation of Planets” is overlapping the graphic in a manner that looks unintentional. The Box that shows your character is a just a little too short and cuts off the inner white circle in which your character rotates in. There is also a lot more things, in my opinion, that seriously in all honestly ****s up the eye flow, movement and the balance of soft curved edges and the hard 90 degree angles of the frames. If this was the intended plan for the look of character selection I would be one ****ed off person having all my hard work of the beautiful background covered up with some cheap looking blue Frames and a cookie cutter logo thrown in there. Love the addition of the ranks but it seems like all they are doing is trying to fill up space on the left side of the screen since there is a lack of character slots.
    I’m no pro and it’s not as bad as my post might sound, but when I first looked at the new changes I cringed just a little.

    I think you're spot on. Completely agree with your analysis.

    I like the old one better. New one is so bland and ugly.

    I prefer the old one as well, but considering how little I'm there, it isn't a big deal :p

    Agreed, old one was better. Too much is just a blue box now -- can't even see the full character now. No idea what they were thinking.

    The old one was much better.
    It gave a bit of an epic universal feel already at the character selection.

    +1 for the New one. I think it looks cleaner.

    While I'm glad to see by the majority of responses that I'm not alone. I think the new one is cleaner yes, but you could have cleaned the old one up and kept the nice-looking 3D graphics. The ranks could have been added to the old one.

    I just don't get it.

    Old one had a much better design, but it's just the login so...

    I agree if they were gonna spend time on something, they shouldn't make it look worse.. It's not like they couldn't just ADD the info to the old screen, but.. whatev.
