Sorry to poop on a design you just said is your fav, but I'm just confused is all.

Eh, not offended. I got to liking Eternal more after watching the Kamen Rider Eternal movie. The reason he has blue flames I think is because he is dead (when Kazu Jun donned the suit first the flames were red). As for the crest it is the letter E as most of us know.

One a side note, one assumption I have about Kamen Rider W is that I feel that the riders are homages + love notes to other Ishinomori works and the Kamen Rider Franchise. Here are a few of my assumptions:

Kamen Rider W : Showa Riders homaged through its color scheme with the use of Green and Black. Specifically Kamen Rider 1 & 2. Homages Kikaider.

Kamen Rider Accel: Heisei Riders homaged through its color scheme with the use of Red and Blue. Homages Robocon.

Kamen Rider Joker: Kamen Rider Black.

Kamen Rider Skull: Homages Skullman.

Kamen Rider Eternal: Visor and cape is a homage to Akaranger of Himitsu Sentai Goranger.

NEVER: Though not riders, the way they are a team remind me of the super sentai. To a certain extent I guess Cyclone Dopant can be seen as a homage to the 6th warrior with the color scheme hinting at Dragonranger of Zyuranger.
