Phumfeinz Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I thought the star was for the Peace Cup 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Should be influenced by the 1982 badge yet still modernised. I may give it a spin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corcaigh Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) Drop the star altogether! it's small time to incorporate it on the crest. When Villa make it into the CL perhaps they can put a star above the crest then. Champions of Europe is smalltime? Its not like we're putting a star on for winning the intertoto. Is there any other club who've won the EC that have incorporated a star representing the fact into their crest? Like I say, when Villa qualify for the CL, put a star above the crest like other clubs do to remind the world Villa have been champions of Europe. But I don't think having it as part of the crest design itself is the way forward. Edited April 20, 2014 by Corcaigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Isa Posted April 20, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) Many clubs have the star to represent that they were European champions once. Nothing smalltime about it, it is an incredible achievement and one that very few clubs have ever realised.

So a star on our badge for coming 4th in the league but not for being Champions of Europe? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing smalltime about it, it is an incredible achievement and one that very few clubs have ever realised. From some googling it appears that the only previous EC/CL winners who have a star incorporated into their crest is Marseille, and even then they don't have the star within the crest, but above it.

IwishIwasalivein1982 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 But with the lettering done properly (I'm semi busy here at the moment, so it was a quickie) Really like this one. It's got a hint of Rotterdam about it but still looks modern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, just checked myself and not as many as I thought, just Marseille and Inter it seems. My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 20, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted April 20, 2014 I've said before, but the problem with the current badge is that it was designed by committee, in a way. They sent out that survey, all the fans answered the questions and it gave a load of things that people wanted included. So they chucked all of those things onto a badge and that was it. It seemed like they just went lion, tick. Star, tick. Shield, tick. AVFC, tick. Done! At no point did anybody stand back and say "does this actually look any good?" It reminds me of Homer's car in the Simpsons. Just because you chuck a load of cool things onto a piece of paper doesn't actually mean it looks good. You still need some sort of artistic license or someone with a designer's brain to pull it all together. And it very much seems like nobody did that with our badge. I actually blame Nike. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I'd still include the star even if it's above the badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
