So, a bit of shameless stealing from my buddy Saundy here, but perhaps a rewrite of good idea is still a good idea.
Bungie, PLEASE give clans some more meaning. Here are the suggestions and why these enhancements would be totally kick-ass.
1. Allow creation of custom artwork for emblems and clan logos
a. These would create even more clan exclusivity than the name which isn't evident in-game except on menu screens.
b. Clans could create multiple emblems and use some as rewards to valued clan members as well as create some for special events. Besides having regular playing partners, being in a clan today doesn't do much in-game. It could be so much more.
c. Clan logos really come into play in the next section.
2. Creation of a clan armory
a. This would present an assembly component where clan admins (or maybe even a specific clan role of Armorer) would be able to select from pre-set weapon parts to build a full arsenal of custom weapons. Some perks may be set and some may be rolled as usual. Clans could create Uncommon, Rare and Legendary gear and weapons. Weapons/gear will have paint schemes customized by the Armorer. Clan logo would be featured on weapons and class items such as Hunter Cloak.
b. Option to wear gear from the clan would put bounty reputations toward clan rank which allows purchase of clan gear and armor.
c. The clan armory could be in the same location for everyone, and depending upon your clan membership you will be greeted by a different guardian in the tower to buy your gear. The Armorer would designate which of his/her guardians to have there and would set guardian appearance, choosing from his/her own gear available. Would be awesome to be decked out in clan gear as a preview to others.
3. Allow creation of clan shaders
a. Again, either set by the clan admins or Armorer, custom color combinations could be selected and previewed on all classes using a variety of gear in an editor mode. Once the colors are set, it can be "published" and made available to clan members using a random drop system (like is already used for faction shaders) or awarded by clan admins for merit.
If anyone made it this far, thank you for reading. I would sure appreciate a bump if you like these ideas.

This idea is legit asf.

Good call. My clan played control the other night and we were all rocking the bright pink emblem and pink shader. It was entertaining, but I would much rather have something custom.

Bump. I would enjoy these things very much.

Bump- cool idea.
