It's Your Round Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I think it looks alright, it adds some extra Aston Villa to the local area in an urban graffiti-style way. The only thing I would have liked to have seen is the painters to have taken the leftover paint and graffitied the walls around the sty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birmingham was a key city in that the Arts & Crafts movement, around the time of the Club's formation. Nice link to the 150 year anniversary Just to add to this: William McGregor had moved from Perthshire scotland to set up a drapery business in Aston. I think it has to be intentional. I really like it if so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mic09 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) We had a lovely badge that people argued looked like Chelsea (it didn't) Now we have a new shield shape and people argue it looks like Hull (it doesn't). If you give me a badge, any badge, I will find you 5 different ones that look similar.* *And I feel that is no reason to knock it down. Heck, aren't these two similar?!

I know it can't be centred but even so I'll never not be able to see it Actually I meant unbalanced with the lion at the top and text at the bottom. If it then says ‘Unprepared’ underneath it will look even stranger, having effectively two rows of text together vs text at the top and bottom.

Look at how pixellated that yellow is when you zoom in. Gross every time. You can’t even pick out the adidas logo looking at that bus stop ad on (and filling the majority of) a phone screen. Insane that it’s been allowed to pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion is I don't think it looks great and it'd be a million miles better if it was just on a flat white wall somewhere. I'm hardly flipping the table or writing a thesis on it. I'm sure there will be hundreds of places where the design is shown on a flat white wall. This is a mural. Mona Lisa is painted on a canvas, a Banksy is painted on a wall. Both are pieces of art serving different purposes. Just look at what all the clubs around the globe have in a 1m radius of their stadium. Covered in different types of art that makes the place shout 'This is a place of 'X' club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dislike Heck, and am not a fan of a lot of what he's done (especially his communication) but establishing this as a new brand that becomes immediately identifiable as a Villa themed product is not bad. Light yellow on blue I don't understand, but the shape and the brand reveal across media, print and physical villa property is a well organised and positive thing for me. If the final product is shit then doesn’t matter how good the marketing is does it. It’s like doing a fabulous marketing campaign on Castle Vale, to sell it to millionaires as the place to be…it’s still Castle Vale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even small heath have got one! It even features ‘Our Jood’ with the words “We’re in this together”, which is very apt of course considering how loyal he was to the cause. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that they’ve gone with yellow for the adidas logo (wtf?) within the shield… suggests that we’re sticking with the old colour scheme and sickening yellow… Claret adidas stripes would’ve looked better and much more distinct… no blue or “blobbiness” as would a claret lion on that background and shield… but it’s not happening. I think the only hope is a detailed lion with some contrast but I am more and more fearing that it is the same old flat yellow lion… with that amateurish drop shadow… Think we all have to accept that the horrid yellow on blue colour scheme is here to stay… maybe forever Edited May 13 by Jas10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
