The problem with Emblems (Destiny)

Immaterial.

You assume that anyone looks at them outside of waiting for the raid to start or to kick off IB.
For a while people were using them to make you prove you had successfully done a particular challenge mode, but really all they are now is a garnish on top of what your character is, much like your ship. Your name and light level really are not that important to worry about it.

Now if they could make your ship useful, and allow your emblem to appear on it, then we can talk.

How is legibility immaterial? Simply from the standpoint of being someone who likes to look at things that are aesthetically pleasing, most of the Destiny emblems are garish, clash, and actively hinder their basic function: Displaying your name.
