Did not mind the outcome ... but the method was spot on. Our inner critics will always be there. Its like the perfect shade of claret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite enjoyed that, thought the design was decent as well, with just a few tweaks here and there and it would be pretty solid. I think we should have Aston Villa written along the top right of the circle in between the arrow heads. I think it is still important for ID especially for those looking to follow a team from abroad. Incidentally, I’m surprised no one has come up with a design which incorporates the gas lamp in some way? Whether it be a small nod to it or something more obvious… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichfield Dean Posted September 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 13, 2022 I liked that design. It was a bit busy though, which I think isn't the aim. But I liked the ideas and the components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QldVilla Posted September 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 13, 2022 I didn’t mind it also, thought the av was clever, but prefer to see the fill name there someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvonVillain Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Too busy for me. Maybe cramming too many ideas in at once and slightly overthinking things, but very interesting episode with good ideas, but the final design just doesn't work, I don't think.

AvonVillain Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Would love to incorporate more of the industrial past of Birmingham into the final design, however. How did the association of the lion come about at all, Dudley Zoo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Always too much adding stuff for the sake of it. Lion. Maybe name. Maybe on a shape/shield to ground it. Done. KIS,S. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was it that Coco Chanel said about 'taking away the last thing you put on'. Still, he's right about the story/history aspect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuL Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Sorry, it's not the best quality as I quickly threw the shapes together to make it look like a gas lamp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Not a bad effort but the lion looks like it's in inverted commas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
