Looking at the Frankfurt logo, I wouldn't mind something like that for us. No text, just the lion. I'd rather just have the lion by itself though. Somehow incorporated with our name like Palermo: Something like that with the lion blended in to AV and our full name below it works for me. I did want 1874 on it earlier but think I'm going off that idea now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacksonho Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Until I saw all the crests on a page in the survey I didn't realise how many clubs have the round shield with an emblem in the middle and words on the outside. I know it is the current in look but it does make it hard to pick out club badges from a lineup. I wonder if in 10 years time as fashion changes we will still see so many round badges.

We're not a Tesla or a Playstation 5 and we're not Balenciaga - we're Oxford and Cambridge, we're the Bank of England. The words that were missing from the survey for me were integrity, fairness and importance - that's what I want our badge to say about us, I want it to scream that we are 'old money', that we're the establishment, we're the bricks and mortar of football. I want fans of other teams to be saying "What are Villa doing about this?" because we're seen as the team that do things the right way - a leader and example. I don't want us to be modern, exciting or, for f***s sake, "fun", I want us to be the smart guy in the fitted suit with the slicked back grey hair that stinks of money and speaks quietly because he doesn't need to shout. Give me a badge that looks like it was designed when we were formed - not one that sways in whatever direction some bloke at a design house happens to be leaning on any given day. I want permanence, class, quality - not some simplified compromise of clean design that "works well on all platforms". I have a feeling I'm not going to like the badge. You’re going to hate the badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see us doing something similar, but have the AV leaning into each other almost. Kind of the like the New Balance logo. The Lion would be secondary then but perhaps more centralised over the letters. If I was a Venezia fan I’d be upset by loss of the black. And the lion fairy, obvs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My one word to describe what I want out of my badge was "007". Well not really a word but "James Bond" feel, with grace and class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 16 hours ago, HKP90 said: I went with Arsenal. It looks modern, but conveys history. Has a shield (although I picked our old roundel as my fav. villa crest), but does something different with it. Plus the colours are classic, can't really go wrong. I don't mind City though, although they play up the sailing ship motif a lot for a city that can only be reached by ship via a canal. Can you even sail through a canal, or would you need to use oars/legging? Same here. The shield contradicted most of my other answers, but Arsenal have got theirs spot on. Easily identifiable as Arsenal, whilst still being modern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post a m ole Posted August 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) seems everyone loves Frankfurt and for good reason. Top tier. No or minimal text pls. I think the best thing would be to have a component based badge, where we have a lion used on its own, a lion on a simple badge like above and a full logo with Aston Villa text underneath/ in-line depending on the context it’s used in.

Popular Post ferguson1 Posted August 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2022 I wonder if we can just have a real simple design with just a lion and maybe the words Aston Villa somewhere? Obviously not white though. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be happy with a version of that. We have the most majestic name in football, and we need to maximise on it. Nobody could tell you what AVFC means outside our base. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
