The new lion seems a little bit of a throwback to the original, with slightly less detail, but that is OK. I know the history of it but no. Looks like a Yorkie Terrier that’s been left out in the rain. Awful. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Looks right to me. And most other people it would seem. Just seems strange that you’re annoyed that they’re not lined up. And when it was pointed out that they obviously are lined up, you now think that they shouldn’t be lined up just so that they LOOK lined up specifically for you 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s designed to be more aesthetically pleasing vs geometrically accurate. Oh you've taken a break from making thinly-veiled personal jabs to offer something useful, that's good. It actually is quite a helpful video, because it exactly illustrates my point vs the people who broke out the Photoshop circles to prove that the 1874 was geometrically correct. As helpful as it is to show that something is accurate within concentric circles, if it doesn't look right without those circles, then it should be adjusted even if that means it ends up being geometrically inaccurate. If it doesn't look right to the naked eye, move it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is fine, but it's an unfortunate thing for a lot of people to realize - months or years after the club have slapped this everywhere - that small details don't look right. It's hardly the only issue with the badge, but from a design perspective it's one of the first things that pops out to me as easily fixable / adjustable. And it only seems "strange" to you because you're intent on not grasping my point and carrying on an argument with me about it. For some reason you can't just accept that the 1874 looks entirely wonky to my eyes. If it looks fine to you, why is it so important to pick over my reasoning? I'm really sorry that I initially thought it was geometrically wrong - is that what you want to hear? It still looks off to me and to others like @His Name Is Death, and I feel the 4 could be easily adjusted as a result to bring a better overall optical balance to the text portions.

The writing on the logo does look a bit wonky to my eyes too. But it’s nothing something I find upsetting because I know round logos are going to inevitably have issue with the way the font is spaced/sized. It’s interesting comparing it to the original logo, which had the benefit of having the FC on it to balance it a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted November 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2022 I can't believe there's such a passionate argument about this, to the point of insult trading on this. Guys... it's a badge, and it's now THE badge.. it's far superior to the previous one, and we can't change it. We need another game. lol 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do your eyes count and not everybody else’s? It seems to look fine to me and everyone else. There’s two of you who says it looks wonky. And it’s been shown that they aren’t wonky at all Are you expecting the designers to cater to your eyes specifically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats, I can't be bothered with this pointless argument anymore. I don't think it looks right, you do. That's literally the crux of all this nonsense back and forth. I suggest we leave it there.

Lichfield Dean Posted November 12, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 12, 2022 I think the lion tried to catch the star, fumbled it, and now it's about to poke him in the eye. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crux is it’s been proven it isn’t wonky but you seem to think the designers should have catered for your eye. that’s fine.

Spoony Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 We need something additional to fight about. The lion’s tail has 3 pointy bits. It used to have 4. We’ve gone backwards. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
