Jas10 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) 3 minutes ago, wishywashy said: If they're making it gold on the plaques but their solution to emulating that on the digital badge is what we've seen trademarked: yellow with a drop shadow... Don’t see why they couldn’t use a more “golden shade” and just ditch the yellow altogether… darken the blue a tad too… If the remit doesn’t allow us to stray from yellow/gold and blue… then at least improve upon it and a detailed, gold lion is a start… But then, why ask the fans the question at all? Twice? Misleading… Edited January 12 by Jas10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are claret and blue! Best to wait and see right? I mean, we didn’t expect something like this… But let’s wait for the full reveal this time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic09 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 What I hope is not happening (Surely not?!) is a slight nod towards the blue-ish element of the club's marketing. Very recently, a certain Manchester team seems to be pushing a claret and sky blue look. It seems to be a very marketable palate in world football, of which they are on top of. Maybe the brains on the Heck marketing team team want to reflect these colours more in the Villa look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concrete slab?! That looks like a TPU badge, the likes of which appear on most elite level kits nowadays. Get up close to some of the shirts from the last World Cup. They were sensational. An image filed for trademark is typically just a cover all sketch that serves as protection for various options and executions. Reading this thread over the last couple of weeks, I've wanted to hand out paper bags for people to breathe into. If this was the first leaked image everyone would be excited. But they saw the other one first so it's all doom and gloom. They're exactly the same badge, but perspective is everything. 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much any badge can have a nice ornate physical version. It's translating that detail to 2D artwork that's the trick! Sure… but maybe we have a different version of that too. I see no reason to have to stick to plain yellow… the shade could be altered at least… I just want to try n be hopeful… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the explanation… I think the 2nd half of your comment is a little unfair though (esp the paper bags bit, unnecessary)… many of us aren’t experts, knowledgeable or work in this field… We can only comment on and judge what we see, is shared or revealed… Unfortunately, in the age of social media, stuff is leaked, shared and displayed without context, meaning or description and ahead of its intended time… so all people are going to do is comment on what they see and is shown to them… and isn’t that what a forum is for? To freely express opinions? that image is still ugly… regardless of whether or not it accurately represents what we are getting… and it’s been trademarked by the club… so there was “cause for concern”… Anyway, all we want is something better and that we can be happy about or get behind… the combination of what’s best for the club and fans… Trying to be a bit positive and hopeful now but… some complaints and points are still relevant… at this point.

But looking at it with the context of the physical badge, the drop shadow seems to represent that fact that the lion is three-dimensional. As you've said, it remains to be seen what the full execution looks like across all media but this new image is promising. And colours are always a really difficult thing to judge on screen. I've got 3 top-notch panels in front of me right now and even the claret border of VillaTalk looks different on each. And the paper bags thing was said tongue-in-cheek. We're all sometimes guilty of jumping the gun. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they the clubs new soft-launch device? It seems to have moved immediately to 'official leak' without a lot of question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not expect a gold lion that was raised and included so much detail… maybe it’s shit, maybe it’s good… let’s wait to see the whole thing and then we can judge on it again. it’s not the image we saw, there’s a difference… Shit?

NurembergVillan Posted January 12 Moderator Share Posted January 12 Also, to refer back to my point about the badge execution on the authentic/player jerseys from the World Cup, look at these stunners! PS - the Germany one isn't an embroidery - it's textured TPU so it looks like one but without the weight... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just going based on the way on-kit crests have been looking in the last couple of seasons. It could well be fan-generated but, importantly, it's plausible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
