villalad21 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 What about a beaver instead of a lion in the crest? You know, beavers are real fighters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 There's some good alternatives in here but I've always liked our current one.Me too. I'm all for a new, possibly circular badge, but I honestly wouldn't mind if we kept the current one. I think it's classy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mart-L7 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 In fairness it does look like a poncey prancing lion lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 That would also liven up the "Where will we finish?" thread. I'm sold, Aston Villa Beavers, it is! <br /> <br /> COYVB!! (Beavers, not Boys) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 But with the lettering done properly (I'm semi busy here at the moment, so it was a quickie) That's the best in here by far. I'd make the yellow borders & font a lot thinner though. Way too much yellow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthEastVillan Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) Winner winner chicken dinner. I was just about to post that exact same phrase. Yes this is what I'd like from the new crest. Incorporates a bit of tradition and gets rid of that stupid juggling, no clawed lion. I'm at work so can't do it myself but could someone pop the yellow lion from the striped crest on the round badge. I liked that one as it's from my youth.

NurembergVillan Posted April 21, 2014 Moderator Share Posted April 21, 2014 None of you work in marketing then if you want to drop the AVFC that is never going to happen. Yet the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Bayern Munich etc. do have their full names in their badges. Doesn't seem to do them any harm on the marketing front.

NorthEastVillan Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Any of the round ones posted look great to me. I do prefer the lion from the striped late 90s-2000 crest though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 21, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21, 2014 I don't know if its been mentioned, but the premier league don't allow stars on the shirts. That's why we incorporated it into our crest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted April 21, 2014 Moderator Share Posted April 21, 2014 I can't see us making a return to the round badge I'm afraid chaps. As far as I'm aware, it was changed for copyright/trademark purposes as it had been in circulation for such a long time and used by so many people (before football clubs protected their brand) so copyrighting it became impossible. It's the same reason why Arsenal and Liverpool changed their crest too, and why the Italian national team stopped having the "Italia - il Tricolore" shield on their kit. I could be wrong, but that's my understanding of the situation. It's not to say we couldn't have A round badge, but it'd have to be significantly different from the old one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll Photoshop a few more stars on later, maybe have it looking like a Dragonball. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinityRoadSteps Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Maybe after todays news it shouldn't be a Lion or a Beaver but Longhorn Cattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
