I’m trying to accept this shape badge because I can’t see it changing now, but they need to do some major changes to the Heck one but if I had been told this was Heck’s and we had no choice of moving from the round badge then I wouldn’t have been angry.

Popular Post useless Posted January 7 Popular Post Share Posted January 7 The actual new badge, if it really is that, looks way better than some of these fan made proposals that people are coming up with, the club would never use those in a million years, too flat and dour looking, like a beer mat or something - no offence I've only drawn one good picture in my whole life. Often with great designs, or with any great work of art, it's true brilliance doesn't reveal itself at first, especially not to people who don't have good taste, and the same might be true of so called new Villa crest, with time I bet more people grow to like it 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably due to it being brighter etc OBS. This is why again, if that is it, I want to see the full branding and implementation guidelines/samples. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) The other badges are good efforts in of themself, and a beautiful hobby for people to have, the club should do a collage of them and say thank you for trying to help Villans, we really appreciate it and maybe reward some of our creative souls with a chance to design the match day program or something like that.

Actually I can’t think of a worse one…that yellow on the blue still makes it hard to see, the poor choice of lion, the poor shadow effect, the unbalance of putting the lettering at the bottom…. Probably more reasons but it’s awful. A beer mat design would still be better than that. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although @NurembergVillan did point out that it may simply blend into our home shirts. As I posted earlier, I think we should go back to our 1982 colours, vibrant… not dull. It was our best ever period, that’s where we should take inspiration from… Vibrant claret, blue and a smart shade/trim of gold (not yellow).

However I've started thinking that's just because it's the " raw " colour files or something. I personally prefer a more gold, GOLD. I was more meaning having Claret as the background, with gold secondary and blue third ( joint second ) etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's fair to say that the Heck abomination has little brilliance - revealed, or unrevealed - and we'll be glad to see the back of it, and him, in a few years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
