messi11 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Short story of How the average persons brain works Spoiler Well I liked option 2 because everyone liked option 2 so I voted for it, but now I kinda like option 1 because everyone has now started to like option 1, so I like it better than option 2 now.

However in this case, would this not sort the issue? The things most fans want to see, without subjective shapes.. Spurs and Pool did it first. Whilst it looks good I do t want to copy them.

MrBlack Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 If they both had the right colour claret instead of purple I'd be happy with either. As it is, they're both too purple. But they're also both better than what we have. I imagine a lot of people that wanted gold gone was because it didn't work on a light blue background. Gas lamp shield wins for me. And if it was less purple and more red it would be lovely. Things that sway it for me: - bigger lion with more detail there (but not so much that its busy) - different from what else is already in the league, but not just different for the sake of it. I'll be fine with either, but suspect the round one will won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Voted Option 1 … Only critique a bit plain in fine details. A fine gold border perhaps. Will get used to the round one, but it’s a bit too meh for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 (edited) Very disappointed, I think both options are a bit crap. Then again, I was hoping for something more out there and modern, akin to what Ajax or Juventus did — I think the AV initials are unique and ripe for creative design. But as soon as I went through the questionnaire, I somehow figured we’d end up with bland, ‘safe’ designs. I guess I don’t care all that much, so if that’s what the majority of fans want then fine, but a unique AV design in claret (not **** purple!) and blue would really make us stand out as the special club we are. Missed opportunity, in my opinion. Edited November 5, 2022 by Ginko 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 The main thing I take from these two images is that whichever one we choose will still be bottom half, easy to glaze over, lacking in anything for anyone to get excited about. That said, the former is at least different and not like half the rest of the division, and I quite like the attempt at a different shape, so the gas lamp shield it is for me. I don't expect to win, but it is better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect to win, but it is better. The lion facing right looks even more ridiculous here. Flipping hell, the colouring is so bland and dull From a distance or zoomed out, the circle badge looks very old fashioned against all of the others… Edited November 5, 2022 by Jas10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 (edited) I would’ve thought that one of if not the whole point of doing a redesign was for the badge to stand out… they’ve clearly failed at that here. The existing one may be “washed out” (yellow on light blue) from a distance but it’s still more “striking” than these… It’s the colours/shades or lack thereof (including a lack of vibrancy) that bother me more than the general designs… Edited November 5, 2022 by Jas10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderPower_14 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I personally like the shield better but I think these are both improvements on the existing one. The lion especially is spectacular. A huge upgrade. Round one looks like it's missing something but adding anything else would make it look too cluttered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you up to these days? Any new tattoos? I quite like both, of course they could be slightly improved with tweaks so I hope that’s still an option down the line, but it has to be the shield for uniqueness and a better lion. Reckon you could’ve got 1874 in there at the bottom still on either side of the legs if moved a little bit, and the lettering of Aston Villa could stand out a bit more from afar but hey ho. They’ve both been designed as to be shapeless as well so it makes sense why that option never came to a vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number one looks cleaner and the lion stands out way more, however i like the fact number 2 has the date on it. I won't be upset with either to be fair I’d assume the club foundation is represented by the gaslamp in option one, hence no need for the date. Think I prefer the more subtle reference tbh.

WallisFrizz Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 The gas lamp one is really growing on me but saw a fan poll on Twitter and the round one was predictably way ahead by about 60/30 from about 1500 votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been raging about us changing it all day but if it were that top one id actually give it the thumbs up , personally i think were changing too much, we could have used the current design and made it round and then added ‘ aston villa’ on it Hi there, apologies for the delay in replying. A quick google search of “Aston Villa crest ideas” (which is what I did) and you find it straight away. Fan designed by AEGON. I like it obviously and am now using it here until I get bored of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
