Vive_La_Villa Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Who the **** thought this font was a good idea? Graphic design team out. Moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan. What's wrong with it? The PR / graphics people are obviously just pushing the 'Sherwood factor' that saved us from relegation, which was nice. Remember that the official site isn't just aimed at us cool internetz kidz with our Photoshop and minecraft skillz, it's also aimed at children, parents and old people. I don't see the problem. Unless, of course, it's because it's not 'cool'. Maybe next season we should just have 1 photo of the kit on a hook, saying 'New kit', and nothing else? Grealish's bulge in that pic hahaProbably a hip flask But why write the quotes like a 5 year old? Don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GarethRDR Posted July 7, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 7, 2015 Really hope we get the same goalkeeper template from Macron that they've given Vitesse this year: That with a sky blue, green or some OTT luminous colourway where the grey is would be awesome. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 But why write the quotes like a 5 year old? Don't get it.It's a font. What's the problem? Unless I worked in the Font Business, I can't imagine me ever being bothered about a font. If we ever use images of writing scrawled on a wall in shit, I'll have an issue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Typefaces will always be down to preference. I work as a graphic designer in my spare time and I can see what they are trying to do with the current branding. I actually don't think its perfect but its not bad by any means. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I worked in the Font Business, I can't imagine me ever being bothered about a font. If we ever use images of writing scrawled on a wall in shit, I'll have an issue. Totally agree. I don't see what the fuss is about. At least it's a bit different. I like it myself, as much as I ever really care about this kind of stuff.

villa4europe Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 The quotes with the players aren't that bad, the font is questionable but I'm not overly bothered, the "big club" one is a piss poor idea after the last couple of years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not something I'm going to lose sleep on but yeah, it's awful.

billybofalbion Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 That live stream really really annoyed me. So shoddy and amateurish as usual. "We're a big club" ... and we can't even get a live stream up and running effectively. Something so small but it really puts me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand why people wouldn't like it, as it's a 'comic' font on, what should be, a professional document..... But if I needed a rocket scientist, and a perfectly qualified one happened to like Comic Sans, I'd find a way to look past it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, to be fair, yours was just one of many posts I saw moaning so thought I'd quote yours. I could have made that clearer! And no, I don't work for Villa and I'm not a graphic designer or anything remotely similar! I wish I was Villa's graphic designer, I'd be the biggest troll around, making sure that all of my designs would piss everyone off, with the hashtag #fontoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
