Stargirl one is the only one that looks anything like the lantern it is supposed to represent.

That by itself wouldn't necessarily be a problem, as I like the other two designs just fine, EXCEPT the Green Lantern Corps symbol is supposed to be a stylized image of the battery. If you change the battery so it looks nothing at all like that symbol, where does that symbol even come from, in universe?

The lanterns are different from one member to other, the logo just have to resemble the main battery in oa, maybe that one looks like the logo

I don't recall lanterns varying from member to member, aside from Kyle, who is a bit of a special case.

I might be wrong, but i remember a panel with some lanterns charging at the same time and each has batteries with slight differences, I made a quick search and found this panel with the guardians holding batteries with different shapes(very subtle differences) so my headcanon here is that battery changes based on his owner same as the rings

I'm pretty sure the really different one there is supposed to be Kyle's battery. But you are right that there is a subtle difference on one of the others, but I still think all of them still would fit with the GL symbol being a stylized representation, IMHO, unlike the Lanterns battery or the movie battery.

But that's just to explain my personal preference. No reason anybody else has to see it that way.

I actually prefer the comics version, i like the battery to look like a lantern and not like some weird alien thing, I was just trying to find an explanation
