I only have one request. I would like the Eldritch Chest logo for my Villain Group. LEVIATHAN!
Possible bug: When you place an item it locks the colors and symbol you have when you place it, and doesn't update when you update your settings.
Can anyone verify prestige cost changes? For the love of god please say yes.
Why can i only make new things in my generator room in my exsisting base?

5000 approx is most common for the sg items really depends on size. But I did find the sg symbols really blurry is this a bug, or just me?

Hmm... this may not be so bad. If you want to decorate with multiple symbols, all you have to do is change your logo, place an item, change your logo, place an item, change your logo... I don't see many SGs changing their logos or colours very often, so this only adds flexibility to base decorating.
the price of the SG items is insane. 1000 prestige for a single floor tile? (btw, floor tiles aren't letting us place any other items ontop of them).
o.o I kinda like the fact that the banners keep the sg color/logo of what the sg had when you made it, lets me color customize some of the banners to better fit the room their in.

The new banners, tables and logos really look sharp! Nice touch Devs. The prices, as always, are insane.

I was able to line the wall with 4 banners that said "M H E D" for the Mildly Heroic EvilDoers. It looks nice. But was it worth the effort? Why not just let us customize each object's colors and symbol as a setting? I wonder about doing this on Live when you may be causing mass chaos with people in SG Mode who have changing chest logos. Or even a chest logo struggle if another leader doesn't know you're editing the base - remember your chat box is usually off when you edit.
The wall decoration banners are all completely black until placed - even in the item list. The stands look OK in the list. Floor Tiles are all black in the item list, but have color when being positioned.
The floor tiles default to the Biohazard symbol until they're dropped. This makes it tough to rotate them properly.
You can't place anything on top of the floor tiles. Maybe this is a necessity of the coding, but it's kind of unfortunate.
All that said, I like the possibilities for varying the floor tiles. You can make a really nice trail using pointed symbols such as the Spade, Trident, or that shaded-array-of-dots thing. Various colors could lead guests to the AutoDoc, Teleporters and Buff Stations. Now all we need is nice people in white smocks to smile gently at us as we obsessively follow the colored lines down the halls.....

I try to avoid the cost debates, but I gotta weigh in here. Pillars are only 100. And I can see placing far more floor tiles in a room than pillars. 100 for a tile would be fine.
oh, I spoke too soon, not all the stands are the right colors in the room details list. Arcane Medium 7+8, and Tech large 1+2 are all black.
There's really too much stuff in the Room Details and Wall Details lists now.
- move the tables over to Other Furniture, with the other tables.
- the stands are a good third of the Details list, give them their own tab. give Plants and Stairs their own tabs, too.
- separate Banners, Vents and Other Wall Details.
This may be as good a place to suggest this as any: can we make a Favorites list for decorating? or a "last 10 recently used" list if we can't get something customizable.
I'd like to see a separate 'logo items' tab; I had a hard time finding the items in question.
A 'medium' wall hanging really ought to fit easily on a default-size room's wall. It takes up the whole thing and eliminates trim. It continues to eliminate trim if I make the ceilings higher, but only one of wall or ceiling.
One drawback of the internet is how it has trained so many people to think that one day is a long time.
Very nice for "spot" decorations.
It appears however, that tech has more items than arcane, how about an arch with the logo as a "hologram" in the middle of the arch?
The other thing that needs a tweak is the floor tile. It is nice if all you want is a single tile in the middle of a room or part of a design.
But the way I would want to do floor tile(s) is to do the whole floor, which means really having the SG logo as a "texture" you can pick for the floors, this would also make get round the problem that you can't place anything on the floor tile.
Additionally, a few variations on the floor pattern might be an idea. I suggest having at least three:
1. SG logo with colours the normal way round.
2. SG logo with colours reversed.
3. SG logo with half the tiles normal, half the tiles reversed, in a chessboard type pattern.

If this is a bug then I hope it stays, the reason, well simply if your coalitioned with others you can setup a banner representing every coalition group you are attached too this way.
Sort of allows for a giant coalition meeting area to be created. I hope it was intended and stays as is to be honest.

NO, I don't want this changed. It allows you to choose the colours of the SG, place some banners, and then change the SG colours so that any other banners can be the new colours without the old ones updating.
It may not make sense but I'm always in favour of more flexibility rather than less. You can always delete old banners and place them again in the new colours if you prefer.
If the result is to have Banners, Tables and Tiles in any color combination with any Icon they should just give us the ability to set colors and icons without having to edit our SG settings.
When placing Logo'd items, I noticed that the Arcane SG Logo Tables allow characters to use the 'ledgesit' emote to sit in the chairs, but in the Tech versions, the chairs are too close to the table to do so (without your legs going *through* the chair).
Even on the Arcane version, the 'seat' area is far too large. My villain looks like he's in pre-school trying to sit on these huge chairs 
For the Tech logo podium, the walls need to be lowered, or the podium 'floor' raised. Characters stand too low in it.
In general, however...wow. This stuff looks great.
The hologram is backwards on the Tech Podium. The speaker can see it if he cranes his neck and looks way way up, but it looks indistinct from the audience's perspective. The side of the projected logo facing the audience should have the higher contrast.
Also, it's jinxed. I tried to place it three times last night, and the server shut down and rolled back immediately each time. I never got to look at the podium until they fixed the stability issue. Apologies to everyone with timed missions. 
I was dissappointed to see they didnt add the new Villain logos from character creation yet. 
I placed a banner with a logo 'F', then changed my sg logo to 'U' When I placed the 2nd banner, the first banner changed to a 'U' also resulting in 2 banners next to each other that said 'U' 'U'
so either they fixed the banner thing or letters are the only logos that dont remain.
and the logo of a bomb didnt appear. it was a celtic symbol even though my group had a bomb.
what? I was gonna right 'FUN'...
I fully agree about keeping the way it is with the banners. As said by past posters, not only can you put in banners to honour your coalition members, it can also allow you to decorate different colours and themes. I can put in a banner with C and S side by side for the initials of my SG.
I know there is the possibility of childish antics with various words, but that gets old pretty fast. An beside, when most players see it, they will go "yah right ... <quit SG>"
Another I am wondering is why is it so darn expensive. 5000 for a large banner? Why? Why not just 100 all around. Everything for decorum 100. So what is somebody wants to hang 100 banners around there base. Whoopy-do. Fill your boots. Even small SGs, putting just a decorative base can actually put more decorations in without draining there bank account.
So I say keep the banners the way they are, and drop the price for ALL decorative items.
Oh my god.
THANK YOU DEVS.
That looks great!
I agree about the tables and podiums being huge, my character is not short at all and seems like a baby next to those things.

Ok here is how the banners work.
The are of course set to your sg settings. But if you pick a different style of banner you can add multiple symbols hence creating the coalition type war room for example.
Or if you are of mind to make editing easier use the same banner style across teh base then you may have to change 1 or two banners depending on size and that will change all the banners of this type to the new setting.
