Like the transfer link of Pau Torres (below). Better use of our colours etc. By no means perfect what would be? Every suggested badge in this thread had it’s faults. Not many of us can’t argue that it’s an improvement on the outgoing badge………… Still for the life of me can't understand why the colours scale so badly on graphics. Look at the poor pixelation on that round badge, it's just shocking. Looks like it was pasted on using MS Paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would look muddled, apart from up close. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible, awful. One of the worst I've ever seen.

And it would perfectly suit any jersey of a national football team of a country located partly in the arctic circle. It is fairly abstract. I suppose I can imagine a Villa version, but the abstract snowflakey design really does seem more of a Scandinavian design. But it IS beautiful and sweet, no doubt. My impression of many Villa supporters (and many football fans) is that anything beyond the strictly representational is, well, not appreciated too much lol.

Popular Post useless Posted June 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2023 I feel like the lion looks better claret, when I see new badge and old badge next to each other the old lion makes me think of the Simpsons with how bright yellow it is, also no offense but compared to new new lion old lion kind of just looks like a yellow blob. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it, BUT, there is no right and wrong with these things. I think this disparity of opinion really sums it up. I’m glad our new crest doesn’t split opinion quite so much, even if we don’t all agree! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post StuL Posted June 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2023 I'm changing to a new phone and came across these I did a few months ago. The shield shape is from the Twente badge. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imavillan Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Over three weeks since the season finished and we are still waiting for the club to adopt the new badge. All of the online accounts are still using the old one. I get the rebranding of the physical side of things would take time but I would have thought the digital media side of things would have been relatively simple to change. I wonder if it will coincide with the kit release, whenever that might be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably when the shop is cleared as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the biggest flaws of the current badge is the shite colour combo and element contrast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of get that, but now we are in close season, there is not much happening at the ground football wise. yet there is so much traffic through FB, Twitter, Instagram, the web site etc Just seems slow to me when we've know about it for ages.

stewiek2 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 For us who grew up in that golden era with the round badge, a claret lion on the crest is a return to the colour it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it must be sponsorship related. Cazoo still pay us, and they pay us to display a specific agreed image. That includes the way the shirts work with their names on it, the banners, all the commercial bs. I think it's safe to say it will all be unveiled with the new sponsor coming in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
