*'''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.

*'''Choose a name.''' A corporation name has to contain at least 4 characters ~~long~~ and no more than 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 ticker.''' The corporation ticker is used as a short name for the corporation, for instance in space behind ships, wrecks and containers belonging to your corporation. The maximum length of a ticker is 5 characters, again with only letters, numbers, spaces, and dots allowed. Unlike the corporation name, the ticker has to be unique - it may not be the same as the ticker of any other corporation or alliance, past or present. This can make it quite hard to find a good ticker. Playing around with spaces and dots may help. The "Ticker" button suggests a ticker for you if you can't think of one.

*'''Set a tax rate.''' The tax rate determines what percentage of bounties and mission rewards generated by corporation members will be transferred to the corporation wallet. The rate can be anywhere from 0% to 100%, but a high tax rate might deter people from joining. Most corporations have a tax rate between 5% and 10%.
