'''Appearance''' is a customization feature in the ''[[Battlefield Series]]'' that allows users to change the default look of a vehicle, weapon or soldiers camouflage.

==Battlefield 3==
−
'''Customization''' in ''[[Battlefield 3]]'' allows the customization of soldier and vehicle loadouts. Each kit contains a slot for primary and secondary weapons, two gadget slots, and a [[specialization]] slot. Soldier camouflage is also expanded from Battlefield 3. Vehicle loadouts consist of primary weapon slot, a specialization slot, and a countermeasure gadget slot.
 
  +
Appearance debuted in ''[[Battlefield 3]]''. It consists of different camouflages available to the player. It is somewhat similar to the [[SPECACT]] option of ''[[Battlefield: Bad Company 2]]'' and the customization of ''[[Battlefield Vietnam]]''.
   
  +
Soldier camouflages are unlocked through leveling up, completing [[assignments]], or being a [[Premium]] member. These can be equipped by highlighting your kit and pressing Appearance option on PC (next to Customize), Triangle on PlayStation 3, or Y on Xbox 360. The different camouflage types have an effect on both visibility, and some effect on the player's perception through the IRNV scope.
−
Primary weapons have three attachment slots while secondary weapons have three attachment slots. The three attachment slots for primary weapons are optics, barrel, and grip. Attachments serve to improve the performance of a weapon such as reducing weapon recoil or the addition of a flashlight. Players may also customize their dog tags which will be displayed on killcards. Premium members also have the option to customize the appearance of their soldiers and weapons with camouflage. Camouflage patterns are unlocked for Premium members as they achieve player progression and are different for each faction.

===Emblems===
  +
Players can create '''emblems''' in [[Battlelog]] by using a series of predetermined icons and symbols, applying various colors and opacities, and arranging them in layers. This resembles the system available for BF3 Platoons in Battlelog.
  +
  +
By default, players can choose 20 symbols from an initial pool of 80. An additional 70 symbols can be unlocked from Battlepacks. Premium players can use 20 exclusive symbols, and gain 20 more layers.
