JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 BBC and other sites have posted out new badge on their pages. Current arguments ongoing between Chelsea fans and Villa fans as they are claiming we've copied them. Aside from us actually haveing the badge first, their lion actually looks less like a lion, and more like a Dragon with an identity crisis! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new one is claret and blue, lovely. I also like that the lion face the other way. The lion itself is good, but maybe the lion from the 2000-2001 shield looked better, not as slim as the new one. This is my favourite ever badge. It has a special place for me as thats the badge when i started following the club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Absolutely, there’s no comparison! The left old one is so bad… and the new one is lovely! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen_Evans Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Chelsea fans are hilarious. If our new badge is a copy of anything it's our own badge that we had for about 20 years prior to the foundation of the Premier League. The aspect I find irritating is the credence given to the Chelsea fans' views, eg the Daily Mail article today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Very much like the new one. I think it was always a bit of a fix as it was always going to be that one, but even the orientation of the Lion feels settled now. Great job guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the Daily Mail dude, don’t let it bother you We’re Aston Villa, we don’t copy anyone, we founded the football league, and we were lions then and we’re lions now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea why they limited the electorate to this size, as surely the badge/crest is far broader in regards to branding on social media and international which is a much younger base. It wasn’t just season ticket holders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all it's not much use having something that is technically correct but appears wrong to anyone who looks closely (be they our own fans, neutrals, etc). So you were originally annoyed that the numbers were off centre and/or different heights. But now you’re annoyed that they’re not off centre or different heights but they should be because they look a bit wonky to your eye? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all the arguments we can have about what the new badge should have been, when you step back it is absolutely miles better than our current one 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's wearing last year's Kappa kit. I'm sorry but I am having a hard time taking all this too seriously. 11 hours ago, Teale's 'tache said: It seems fine to me, you often get these tricks of the eye Thanks for all the effort in all this.

fruitvilla Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 This would have worked for me either in Villa claret or blue. The new lion seems a little bit of a throwback to the original, with slightly less detail, but that is OK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only the weird ones who were able to vote who had 77% who preferred it. Get over yourself. An overwhelming majority wanted a round badge, the result would have been similar regardless of who was entitled to vote. It's refreshing change, we haven't had a round badge for decades. I was entitled to vote and personally preferred the round badge but wasn't really too bothered so I thought I would leave it up to others to vote. You lot who are against the round badge are all coming across a bit Trumpish at the moment. excuse me? i've said many times that the round badge was always going to win. it was obvious. i was just pointing out that there were a lot of people wanted the shield/gas lamp in isolation, and that it was frustrating being in that group because it was never going to win. clearly we were the much smaller majority. it might have been a little closer had there been a wider voting audience, but it's pretty cut and dry.

It's not that difficult to grasp that text - be it letters or numbers - should always look correctly aligned on a badge. Whether it's because it's geometrically aligned or not isn't actually important, what matters is whether it looks right. The 1874 doesn't look right and I'm not the only person to pick up on it. That clear it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That clear it up? To be fair, Google did this with their logo. It’s designed to be more aesthetically pleasing vs geometrically accurate.
