I am not even sure if it can be done anymore, but I remember way back a long time ago, in ship customization, I could choose between The default emblem (United Federation Of Planets symbol) and a fleet emblem, but at the time I was not in a fleet. I just created a fleet tonight and I was wondering if this was still possible, and if it is, how do I make one?
hopefully when they add this in, it will be possible to get rid of the ugly federation logo on your ship. and I also would like a way to not show a logo if you want, as much as I like my fleet I don't really want some lame logo on my ship.
Ive seen a dev post somewhere, maybe someone else can find it and link it here. The suggestion of fleet logos for ships was suggested and if i remember correctly the Dev said that it was in the works for when they get around to what they called User Generated Content.
That being said, im sure it will be just like WoW and many other MMO emblem choices, we get a deck of backgrounds and foregrounds and all the colors of the wheel to pick from . This way they can guarantee there wont be any copyright infringement.
Just add it to the "Everything that Cryptic failed at" list and wait till they get around to fixing it lol. I have lost count of the things that we were told would be in the game, including the two races they pulled for "bugs" and then slapped them on the C-store (surprised?). IF they actually finished STO, it would be a cool game, instead of the "still beta" TRIBBLE we are forced to play now.
there was never an option to tinker with it, it was always blocked out
In closed beta, I had a Mirror Universe sword through the earth logo on my ship.
What there was never an option for was a custom logo. When it was possible, it was a list of prefabricated logos. I also distinctly remember Maquis logos being a choice in Open Beta as well.
I am sure they will come up with something eventually, Cryptic have a talent for supporting customization. A library of predefined patterns and symbols would be *very* consistent with earlier designs.

The fleet logo system is being developed. It's going to be like character customization where you take a bunch of logos and mix and match them to create a unique one of your own. The reasons it isn't in is because they want to make sure you have a million different ways to make it look so it will be unique.
you can not at this time. Zinc said in a recent interview that they are working on it. However you will not be able to draw and use your own. It will be a system of pre-determined logo 'pieces' that can be compiled together in layers to create unique ( hopefully ) final images for your fleet logo.
I'd prefer a system as in X, X2 and X3 where you simply upload a gif or png and that is used as your company logo on all space stations and fleet ship hulls.
I really think that they should give us a chouse, ie. there set up mix and match logo's or one that you worked hours to get just right for your fleet. Like the one you put up on your fleets web sit. I mean really whats to point of doing all that work and not being able to use it. Sad.
I'd like to see them re-added myself. Kind of liked using the Vulcan Science Academy one myself. Or, as someone else stated, being able to turn off the logo entirely if you want.
I think this is something that should be worked on with things like some of the missing decals and lettering options on ships as well.

I'd think of it like Champions logo/emblem maker for shirts: greek letters, english characters, symbols, etc.
Dstahl did comment on it. I'll look for it in the morning.

Not sure when they will allow us to create custom fleet logos
Could be that some people were using trademarked images, inappropriate images or there was a bug.
Hard to say, I have not seen any reason posted by a dev.

Totally 100% agree with that.
Logos are lame
