I think the red Virgil logos generally look terrible, because it reminds me of the Liverpool soccer team logo. It is as if they look at the Liverpool logo and make a corp logo for star citizen, and I wouldn't have liked that. Everytime Star Citizen seem to mimick something, I tend to dislike that, e.g Mustang figher looking like a bat (not subtle enough, and I would question the point of doing so, if that was the case).
I once commented on the official forums, something about how spaceships in Eve online looked like alot of things, I regret doing so, in case the devs maybe tried make ships look like things after that.
Toying with a ship model design, I prefer to have similarities be more incidental, then I can get to have a choice in changing it, instead of perhaps having as a goal, to mimick a certain thing. Even better if a spaceship design allude to more than one other thing visually I think.
