Add a little bit of color (red for premium or blue for freemium) to the sword (major) rank so it is easier to tell the difference
While i disagree that it's too hard to tell the difference, Red/Blue on the hilts would
1) fix the OP's concern
2) probably look better than the unicolor we have currently
3) be more uniform to the other rank symbols because they do have mixed coloration
4) Look more like a sword: Few swords have the blade hilt look exactly like the blade metal
@jammyjames: magnus suggested making all silver which I don't recommend. Nothing wrong with a decorative blade, but I still think that making the hilts red/blue with a spiral wrap of the silver/gold to match the blade would work well
