The Fun Factory Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Heck : Item six on the agenda, the Meaning of Life. Now VillaTalk, you've had some thoughts on this. VillaTalk: That's right, yeah. I've had a team working on this over the past few weeks, and what we've come up with can be reduced to two fundamental concepts. One, people are not wearing enough sportsbranded products. Two, matter is energy. In the Universe there are many energy fields which we cannot normally perceive. Some energies have a spiritual source which act upon a person’s soul. However, this soul does not exist ab initio as orthodox Christianity teaches; it has to be brought into existence by a process of guided self-observation. However, this is rarely achieved owing to man's unique ability to be distracted from spiritual matters by everyday trivia. [Pause] Heck: What was that about sportsbranded products?

MarkLillis Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I like the star.It reminds everyone that this club has reached the pinnacle of the game. The only people that it bothers are from clubs without such a history. All I would like is for it to stay on the outside of the badge.I think it’s classier there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) Fans shouldn't have any say whatsoever, otherwise will end up with something looking really terrible, like the kind of badge you'd see on off brand Villa jerseys, or as a logo on someone's podcast/blog. if we want something really cool, innovative, and edgy then leave it to the experts, the real experts.

Stevo985 Posted October 16, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 16, 2023 I voted against the star. But I don't have an issue with it really, I just hate the way they keep incorporating it. At least make it central ffs. It looks like it's been accidentally dropped onto the badge half the time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still the best designs in this thread. I'll be really disappointed if the new badge doesn't have a gold or yellow lion, but they can rescue that decision by going with something like the one on the right. Honestly though that left design is absolutely beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I do like the above. Now try and shove "1874" and a star on it somewhere without it looking a cluttered mess. Think we might have shafted ourselves with a fan survey again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love 90% of @Teale's 'tache's stuff, to the point i added a link to one his designs in my response to the survey. But those ones I do not like. I mean, I'd be ok if they were the badge, kind of like I am with the current one, but they don't scream the ever lasting legacy that we want to create to me and I would feel it was yet another opportunity missed.

AntrimBlack Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 So long as it says Aston Villa on it, that's the most recognisable thing about our club. Completely unique. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t there be a middle ground. With the vast fan base, surely there are professional designers that are hardcore Villa fans. Like those Luke shirts which most Villa fans seemed to like, is there professional designers out there that are hardcore Villa fans that could work with the club to get options to get to a second stage, whatever that may be, rather than designers who don’t have any connection with the club and produce something we dislike or have no connection with.

I get your point though, I'll be really surprised if Heck doesn't go with Mother Design. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
