ThunderPower_14 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 The nostalgia thing is very real, because I like the 90s era logo with the separate banner for Prepared much more than either the 80s or 2000s logos. I like the badge shape and I like the older style lion. I don't really get the feeling we'll get a round badge. I have nothing to base that on really apart from them talking about something individual to us and befitting the long history of the club. I think it'll be a shield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one is yet another example on the internet of a wrong version. The Prepared scroll was blue, the lion was larger and the stripe furthest to the right was claret. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'd go back to FORWARD (which I didn't know was our previous motto), as it speaks more generally of Birmingham itself. Prepared just isn't right for me; so much potential for piss-taking and just seems kind of limp . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm excited to see a new badge - especially now to exorcise the last 12 months - but I don't feel the current design deserves such vitriol. It's perfectly fine, surely? Or maybe 'perfectly fine' in this age of extreme language does mean 'dog shit'. Odd. No it really is dogshit. Better than it was with the tweaks, but it's still shit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted October 30, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 30, 2022 It's funny how so many people are desperate for us to go "back" to a round badge, when we've only had a round badge for less than 20 years of the club's existence 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks a million times better in monotone colors and actually quite nice. They also look ok in the flesh.

Maybe it’s because it’s a US link? Weird though but here’s where ours ranks: 3. Aston Villa If you told me a crest had four colors, a lion, a star, initials, and a shield shape, my knee-jerk response is that it sounds too busy, but this is one of the badges that actually kinda works. The shapes are simplified enough that every element remains clear, and there’s actually plenty of negative space within the badge. The shield projects strength, and the rampant lion screams ferocity. A couple years ago, the badge featured the word “Prepared” under the lion, but it was wisely removed. For a team that barely escaped being relegated to a lower-tier league last season, it’s probably best to not make promises like that.
