It's literally one of the worst redesigns in the history of the world. Clubs are morons.

a m ole Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) I’m sure that £2m figure was put to bed by the actual agency that did that redesign of our badge, it was £50,000 or something. edit; it also included a lot more than just changing the badge, it was creating layouts and designs for promotional material, banners, blah blah blah. edit edit; The agencies summary of the work: Quote Aston http://www.someoneinlondon.com/project/the_claws_are_out/ Annoyingly paywalled Creative Review article but says it all in the headline: Quote Villa https://www.creativereview.co.uk/aston-villas-new-badge-no-it-didnt-cost-2million/ Edited January 25, 2018 by a m ole adhering to site rules 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was debunked at the time. Mans even though the changes are small, it did actually male our badge look a lot better. The white outline on the badge especially. On the actual shirts it looks fine.
