Has there been any dev talk about allowing FC to import their own guild logo?

Of course, it would be pending approval from a GM before being displayed, and if they were worried about the amount of submissions, they could make it a rank 5 perk or something of the likes.
Has there been any official dev talk about such a feature?

No, there hasn't. I kind of doubt they would do this just because SE probably doesn't want to put in the extra manpower to moderate it. It would be a cool feature though.

There has been talk and it's not on the to do list for the reasons guessed above. I believe it was in the last live letter.

I must have missed it but I thought I had read that one pretty carefully. If anyone has a link where a dev discussed this, please post.
Frankly, I don't think it would require much manpower at all. If they restricted it to a rank 5 perk, they would get what, maybe 100 new submissions top per day for all servers (after the initial surge when the feature is implemented). It wouldn't take more than 30mn daily for a mod to sift through them to see what's acceptable. Given how cool this feature would be (since it's already implemented to be able to stamp gear with it), I think that short time would be well worth it personally.

Q: Will there be frames in which we can place art? If so, will it be possible to take a screenshot and place it within the frame?

A: Yes, there are frames which you can place artwork in. Please check out the various artworks our art team has prepared for you!

As for the screenshot feature, we previously had a request for players to be able to design their free company crest by using screenshots and we stated that it would be difficult to judge what images can and cannot be allowed to be used. Therefore, we currently have no plans for players to be able to use screenshots.

I take that as a no-go for custom FC crests and whatnot.

Yes, the developers mention it in the recent Live Letter. Their decision was to not implement such a system because of the need to approve every image uploaded. You have to think about the cost on SE for such a feature. The cost of extra man hours. Employee's who will approve/deny the images. Those employee's will need supervisors and managers. You will also have to battle when players dispute their images being denied. SE then would have another means of players getting upset and leaving because they cant have their image.

Thanks Waliel for the dev post.
That's unfortunate, I still don't think the amount of man hours is very substantial for such a feature that would be appreciated by the community. Too bad.
