UFO:ET is shaping up to be the best X-COM-esque project ever made, I'm really looking forward to its release. However, I believe there's a big problem with the CAF (Counter Alien Forces) logo. Not only I can see there's no apparent meaning around it (no relation to the organization it represents), and it's also almost the SAME as a Mexican airline's logo, Aeroméxico!

UFO:ET guys, I urge you to change the logo as soon as possible. I hope it's not too embedded on the game already... You can compare both logos by yourselves:

CAF's logo


Aeromexico's logo


Obviously, there IS a meaning behind the logo if used in the airline, since it represents an Aztec warrior, plus the falcon helm provides an idea of flying. I dunno, guys, don't consider my opinion if you don't want to.

Of course, if they don't consider you're opinion, that means whenever I see that CAF logo mexican aeroplanes will immediately come to mind... At least, now that you've pointed that out. :lol:

Now I'm confused. Is he serious, or is it because it's like 2am here? blink.gif

Just thought of something. There could perhaps be another reason for using that logo. Maybe one of the planes of the Mexican Airline got hijacked by the aliens and then got teleported to their homeworld for analysis and experimentation and such.
