est1874 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Has the club just decided "Sod it, they can't be pleased" on this one? Really would have expected to see something by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are a couple more with the current lion (facing right). I like them, just wondering how it would look with 'Aston' and 'Villa' parallel with the respective lines rather than curved. And yeah the font is too modern somehow. Edited October 12, 2022 by fightoffyour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Just a colour change for @StuL’s design. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really would have expected to see something by now. Not at all. The club held another meeting on it last night, using the FCG as a focus group. The club are now down to two options, you may or may not like them, but they have put a decent amount of thought into both of them and they've taken into account what fans wanted on the initial survey and made some changes based on feedback from the various groups. In all, the club surveyed around 13k supporters and have had a whole host of meetings with at least four different groups of fans. The voting survey on those badges will be done independently, not in house, in line with FA guidelines that protect things like club badges as cultural assets. The club will be inviting all season ticket holders and all members to vote - that's 70,000 people (which I'm guessing means we have around 40,000 members!). That voting will hopefully be open in the very near future (days not weeks away). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, although anyone who has seen the way i dress would tell you that doesn't necessarily count for much! Better news is that if you don't like either, the option to vote to retain the existing badge will be on offer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they needed to whittle it down to 2 in order to provide a binary vote for people. Then introduced a 3rd option to the vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterSw Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Glad it's open to season ticket holders and members. Should get a good turnout. My only hope is that is a comfortable victory for either option and not a 52/48 result which will probably end up dividing the fans for years to come. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to the new spray job on the team bus "Vote Gas Lamp and we'll give £350m a week to the transfer department." 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the 48% will be gracious and not use every dark art known to man to overturn a legitimate result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 The round one featured here was actually designed by a fans wasn't it? Positive in the sense that it wouldeam the club have been on the pulse. So it's between a round one and a shield then! Solitary Lion idea was dropped.

Mark Albrighton Posted October 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 13, 2022 Yep, as was suggested by another poster on here, as soon as one design was dropped I want to see what it looked like (not helped by the fact it was the design I liked the sound of the most). I get that we can’t see every design that was worked on or considered. But it seems like a strange decision to allow descriptions of the final three designs to be made public only to remove one before it could be seen by the Villa public at large. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be disappointed if neither of them are a little creative. If we have got Dragon Rouge, the creative masters, involved, then surely they've come up with something unique. A round badge is just going to stink of city group for me now, unless they've managed to think outside the box (circle). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
