I don’t mind a star featuring. Just not in the position it’s currently in. Edited November 5, 2022 by His Name Is Death 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently it just feels very.... blue. In my opinion a golden lion stands out brilliantly against the claret background of both the badge, and the home kit as a whole. On the kit it's a lovely little highlight. It's admittedly a bit West Ham, but we do it far better. Makes a big difference, I could get behind this. I would prefer it if there was more thought around the star, if it was needed at all. I think if we had three European titles it would look good under or over the badge, but it just looks like an uncomfortable after thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted November 5, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 5, 2022 I like the star personally. We earned it, it’s a little nod to the past and we can add a second star some day… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyjavfc Posted November 5, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 5, 2022 I thought I quite liked option 1 but then I saw this fan version using the shape of the current badge. Then I realised how much I didn’t like the gas lamp shape after all. I think this looks better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sums up my thoughts exactly. Really hope Lamp wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen_Evans Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 What I don't understand about the gas lamp badge is why the name is so small and squashed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not embarrassed we won the European Cup. Why would that be a rational interpretation of my post? As I’ve said already, I simply don’t like its placement on the badge. The badge is more balanced without it being in the blue circle. I can live with it being there but honestly I prefer the round badge when it’s not there.

Rolta Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 (edited) Over the course of a few hours I've gone from not liking to loving the gas lamp one. It's modern and pretty original. I really like it. Please those who can vote don't be boring and go for that frikking round one. Only one of these two options look like a 'future' version of Villa.

I can live with it being there but honestly I prefer the round badge when it’s not there. That little star makes it unbalanced? Maybe having 3 legs one side and only a tail the other side, makes it unbalanced, maybe we should try and make it two legs on each side and the lion has two tails? What about the writing, is it top heavy with the name over the top part at 10 letters but the bottom has just 4 numbers and smaller font? I don’t get the unbalanced argument, there are more other issues of unbalance than the little star being there. It looks great with the star and the star actually means something, it means something we should be proud of and like other clubs want people to know…. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen_Evans Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I'm not sure I get some of the meanings applied to these badges. Future, historic, forward-looking, backward-looking. It's just a question of what people think looks better and which one looks like Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
