556pmI don't think anything with a logo or text on would ever make it into the game; I don't think valve can have a "NerdRage" weapon in the game, for example & text/logos push us outside of the established extremes for skins.
We might not have many teams sponsored by companies right now but if valve starts embracing competitive imagine the shitshow we'd have with companies sponsoring teams /expecting/ to get their <brand> weapon in game since "Swift", "Ascent" etc had already set a precedent for it.
I think having a colour palette for each team is the best way to go, with teams like Swift, Antic, Se7en etc having some form of 'away kit' logic for when they're playing on the other team to their colour scheme.
I actually asked ma3la about this and he shares the opinion you have, the only ties with Ascent are the colors, the pattern isn't even linked to the logo: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/185951403?t=01h08m17s
