Popular Post Stevo985 Posted April 22 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted April 22 On the plus side, that new Betano logo is much cleaner than the old one I saw. So the sponsor won't be much of an eyesore 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new badge is completely shit. it's far worse than the Lerner badge and the round badge. And the vast, VAST majority of fans appear to share this view. Internet fans cried about the round one too, plus the Luke shirts were absolutely destroyed online and 6 months later were loved. The badge is subjective - nobody is ever going to be in agreement on a badge. The outrage will die down. There are positives to the new badge - it has our full name and origin date. Lets move on.

Are you really suggesting the negativity around this "new" badge was at the same level as the reaction to the round one and the reaction to the Luke shirts? Seriously? 7 minutes ago, Villa_Vids said: The badge is subjective - nobody is ever going to be in agreement on a badge. Of course. I'm not expecting everyone to be happy. But for the vast vast majority of fans to be very unhappy is a bit different. Over 80% of fans wanted a change from the Lerner badge. Instead they've tweaked the Lerner badge, made it worse, and given it back to us 7 minutes ago, Villa_Vids said: There are positives to the new badge - it has our full name and origin date. Wow, you're right. it's amazing isn't it. Dunno why we didn't just scribble it onto a blank square and use that 7 minutes ago, Villa_Vids said: Lets move on. We're about to qualify for the biggest club competition on the planet, for the first time in our history (yeah yeah European cup, we all know the CL is bigger now) For the first time ever, we are going to be beamed into living rooms across the world on the biggest stage our club could possibly be on. People across the world could be seeing our club for the first time, or paying attention for the first time. And the main thing that identifies us, the symbol of our club, the thing that gives people their first and lasting impressions of us... will be a badge that looks like it was knocked up by a 12 year old on clip art To be honest I'm sick of people telling us that we shouldn't be bothered about this and that we should move on. This matters. Just because you don't care about it doesn't mean other shouldn't. Edited April 22 by Stevo985 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems strange as it doesn't line up with the point of the crest. The shape is better as well IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Billson Posted April 22 Popular Post Share Posted April 22 12 minutes ago, Villa_Vids said: Yes it is. You are just being negative for the sake of it. Nonsense. People don't just hate it for the sake of it at all. As has been said a million times, the main issue is the colour scheme and they still haven't fixed that with this new version. The lion does not stand out at all, a crappy drop-shadow doesn't change that. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two parties involved in that sponsorship can't even use the same logo. With one being potentially a new badge being used before it's even been announced For someone so worried about us building our brand, it's odd that you'd be ok with that 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mazrim Posted April 22 Popular Post Share Posted April 22 Yellow on light blue does not work. It never has and it never will. A drop shadow doesn't help it either. I'm horrified by the new badge. Please change it before Adidas get their hands on the kit. In fact, please somebody at Adidas raise the issue. Its not too late. Even changing the colour of the lion to claret would make a big difference. The round badge is massively superior. On the plus side, the Betano logo is a lot better. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldarkandransome Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I'm guessing the shadow is caused by the light coming off the star, would have been OK in the 80s. We are now in the AI age though so I would have expected something better. Even the upside down lion looks better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to grow a brand and the fans are asking why are you Chelsea is that not a problem in your eyes? Who the **** are all these people you've found confusing it with Chelsea? I've not seen anyone saying that. Feel like you've just found some people willing to bait you on the subject taking the piss.

I find it confusing with the Chelsea badge, more so when it’s in monochrome. Watching the highlights against Lillie I had to take a double take on Emi’s shirt.

sidcow Posted April 22 VT Supporter Share Posted April 22 ****. I like the round badge so much. Feels like we had a round badge for a few years which coincided with great success for the club. We've got a round badge now and it again coincides with our best form for decades. Watch us turn to shit next year when we get another crappy shield badge We're better with round. Just turn the lion around for **** sake. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a weird white blur around the edge and its not a pristine image. Compare with the edges of their own logo.

I actually had a double take when I saw a Middlesbrough player being interviewed with a monochrome badge an I wondered for a split second who this Villa player was and why his training kit was a funny colour.

Popular Post wishywashy Posted April 22 Popular Post Share Posted April 22 (edited) Nothing screams "consistent visual identity" quite like the club website and the new sponsor's website using completely different badges on otherwise the exact same piece of media. That does mean that the new, new badge is now technically in use, so we are currently officially using three badges: the old one, the Purslow one, and the Heck one. All simultaneously. Come on, Villa. Get it together. Edited April 22 by wishywashy 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
