It's Your Round Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I used to want the round badge back, but I’m not really bothered any more. The current one is fine with me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 As a club we surely have far bigger priorities right now. The cost of rebranding everything would be immense and don’t see us considering it anytime soon. The current badge is not that bad. It’s clean, unfussy and simple to create. Also didn’t the club say during the Lerner years that our round badge was poor on digital platforms? Seem to remember something said about it at the time.

Lord Willard Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Just change AVFC to Aston Villa. Happy days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) The first iteration of the Lerner era badge was a peice of objectively poor design, amatuerish in the extreme. The alterations have made the current one...Kind of ok. I wouldn't have minded us changing it again with the new owners, promotion, new era, etc. I don't see the need at this point though.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I also like the concept someone else out forward. Similar to the Spurs one Just the Rampant Lion, with Aston Villa under it. No Crest/Badge etc. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Panto_Villan Posted August 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2021 Rip it up and start again. One lion might have been good enough in 1874 but England have three of them on their jersey now. Ditch them and go for something cooler, like a dinosaur. Boom. Commercial revenue doubled. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See this is pretty much where I’m at. I don’t love our current badge, but I don’t hate it either. This would be my one preference too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is not much, if anything wrong with the new one. Quit trying to relive your childhoods. Rant over My childhood was in the 90's so I have no affinity or nostalgia with the round badge. I just prefer it because it looks so much better. My main issue with the current badge is the dominant colours are yellow and blue. Where's the claret? I think it would look better if the lion was changed to claret. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everybody is going to share your opinion and it's valid for people to express their tastes. Look at the poll results - you're actually in the minority. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderPower_14 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 The current one is just okay. It could certainly be vastly improved. It's much better than the original Lerner badge that was a design by committee disaster. I'd be happy with a round badge but I don't have the nostalgia for the old round badge that a lot of Villa fans have. We've had a shield of some description for a lot more of our history. If it's round, i'd want it to be fairly slick and modern. A few obvious points that everyone else has made: It should say Aston Villa in full. Get rid of the star. Don't have yellow on a light blue background, if the lion is to be yellow, put it on claret. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepal_villan Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I know it might seem very petty, but the star representing the European Cup really annoys me. I feel it is small time and it devalues our other great achievements - League titles, FA Cups, League Cups, Youth Cups. Notice that most other clubs do not put stars on their logo for their titles. The ones that do like Forest and Ipswich do so as a reminder of their past glories. Furthermore, it also does not make sense for the women's team to use that logo as the EC was an achievement of the men's side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the parts I love of the badge, just a delicate nod to the history we have without throwing it in peoples faces. Most other rival fans wouldnt even notice it but I'm proud when I see it and what we achieved 40 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switch the colours around and it'd look much better. I think it looks really good in monochrome on the second and third strips and the training gear. But light yellow on light blue? It's just a disaster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
