Very nice.

Without the stripes it’s a lot less cluttered.

I like these a lot. Good show!

@RyuSpike  
Let’s hope they do in season 6

@Fwelin  
Yep. This is pretty much it. They went to the trouble of creating a triple layered cutie mark but made them so small that it is hard to really make out the inner symbols. If they scaled it up just a tad then it would be perfect.

I prefer the real ones

IMO. the only problem with their cutie marks is that they’re too small. They look weird with how little space they take up, which will only get worse if the CMC grow during the show.

thiiiiiis thisthisthis
 
that dark magenta background and border is so freaking clashing with everything

>__> Hmm, I kinda like it.. but, Sweetie would probably have the greenish cutie mark. I mean, I seriously thought her cutie mark would be green. Her magic is a light green, her eyes are light green, her saddle bag was white and green.. Even her Gala dress was white and green.
 
AB’S would certainly not have a green cutie mark. She’d probably have an orangeish and reddish pinkish cutie mark. Maybe with a bit of light yellow or cream.
 
I do like scoot’s cutie mark design in this version, all I would say is it’d probably have more light purple and dark purple.
 
All in all, I do like the recolored designs but I also like the shows design. >w<

@Zenithise  
I kinda agree, the shared cutie-mark kinda implies they’re nothing without each other. (Nothing against ’em though.)
 
I kinda hope each CMC still gets their own individual episodes in the future, (Kinda like the Luna ones) and are still treated as individuals.

These look way way better than the cannon ones.
 
It retains the CMC’s individualities while still having aa more subtle shared motif that implies they’re connected to each other.  
The should be their own individual characters more than they are crusaders.

I got to admit I kinda like the colors on this one better. Kinda makes them look more individual, but still linked together.
 
I honestly saw it coming, they’d get their marks this season, (the fact they were less cutie-mark obsessed last season, and the whole “Cutie Mark Magic” franchise gimmick kinda clued me in) but not at the same time. I was kinda hoping they’d each get their own, “X Gets their mark” episode, but still I loved how the entire episode turned out.  
My favorite episode of Season 5, and favorite CMC episode overall.

@Keith Mowz  
I wonder how good a single color from the cape would look. Or perhaps a different pattern for the shield background.

I actually rather dislike the coloring chosen for Applebloom’s in this redesign.

@Keith Mowz  
I know, I was just making an observation. :)

@Keith Mowz  
You might as well upload that to Derpibooru now if you haven’t already.

@PacificGreen  
The problem with using primary colors is they get used for flags a LOT. No matter how you arrange them they’ll still look like a flag. It was either that or go Red Yellow Blue and make it look like MURRICA. Or if you really want to go the solid background route, you could give them each one of the three. As long as its some color that ties it into being the Crusader’s emblem and not just a generic shield shape.

I don’t think it loses the symbolism at all; the matching shields do enough while the matching colour schemes end up beating you over the head with it. I like their cutiemark designs, but the official colour schemes leave something to be desired with their homogeneity.

@PacificGreen  
My thoughts exactly.

@Keith Mowz  
Reminds of me of the flag of Romania.

@Keith Mowz  
Someone coaxed me to do it on another image so, crosspostan.
 

 
All changed colors come directly off of the CMC cape.

These look nicer. Having the colors customized really helps them fit more with the ponies they belong to.

This would’ve worked out waaay better. But I’ll try to overlook their canon ones.

Better

I prefer this version
