*'''Select a logo.''' A corporation logo consists of three layers; each layer can have a pattern or item and a colour. Different patterns or items can be combined by giving two layers the same colour. Play around a bit to get a good-looking logo. Something to consider when designing the logo is what your corporation's main activity will be. An industrial corporation for instance may want to avoid using a pirate-like logo. | *'''Select a logo.'''

*'''Choose a name.''' A corporation name has to contain at least 4 characters and no more than 50 characters (ironically, the error message you get when trying to use a name longer than that is wrong - it claims the maximum length is 24 characters). It may only contain letters, numbers, spaces, and dots (full stop or period). The corporation name may not the same as the name of any other ''currently active'' corporation or alliance; it can be the same as the name of a closed corporation. | *'''Choose a name.'''

This means that even characters with low or even no corporation skills can become CEO of large corporations, as long as a previous CEO has updated the corporation with the proper skills. CEO's with low skills should take care not to accidentally click the update button; though no one will be expelled if the member limit is updated to below the current membership, no new members can be accepted until the membership has dropped below the limit. | This means that even characters with low or even no corporation skills can become CEO of large corporations, as long as a previous CEO has updated the corporation with the proper skills.

Note that office rental fees are ''dynamic''; they vary per station and will go up or down depending on demand at the station. Office rental fees are calculated daily at downtime based on the number of free offices at downtime. Monthly fees rise by 5% when there are no available offices at the station; prices stay the same when there is 1 available office. When there are 2 or more available offices, prices drop - the size of the drop is based on the number of available offices [http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1280861]. Since you only get a bill every 30 days and prices can rise by 5% '''per day''', there can be a large difference between one month's rent and the next month's rent (in the worst case, the rent can quadruple!). | Note that office rental fees are ''dynamic''; they vary per station and will go up or down depending on demand at the station.
