DEV's, is there any chance you could have the Graphic Artist look at this artist's work and do a special Starship Texture Kit that puts "Portia" on the sides of our ships. As an example, think of some of the artwork painted on the sides of World War II planes such as fighters and flying fortresses. It was typical to put such graphics forward of the cockpit on the left side of the nose of the plane. 
This artwork was done by N'Varra Wren and posted over on the Eclipse server forum.

I think you are referring to 'Nose Art'. Yes, this was very common in WWII. Although I don't recall this being part of the Star Wars Universe it's a really cool idea. GL has said on many occasions that the original space battles were patterned after old WWII films. He even had ILM watch certain scenes from these movies for 'inspiration'.
What would be cool is if you could put your squadron logo or some other faction specific or profession specific artwork on the nose.
