Ingers Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 @Mazrim sorry - I only learnt illustrator to play with these badges - been copying and manipulating the many iterations - and I don't have the time (or the will left with the impending reveal from Mr Heck) to make them exact - it was just a quick iteration to improve on what I think is coming... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the logic of not using too much claret in a badge that’s going to be on a predominantly claret shirt… but a good design and sensible colour scheme would be nice or the least we should expect/deserve… Maybe a standalone lion is the (only) solution… on the shirts and certain training wear, tops etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claret always on blue gold on claret claret on gold also, way nicer without the text in the shield. External text is the way to go Edited May 13 by CarryOnVilla 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While understanding the restrictions and limitations… and what has been trademarked… This is what I want and probably the best we can hope for: I doubt they’ll use darker detailing so… Unrealistic to expect anything better or much different than this but… we may end up with something inferior… Edited May 13 by Jas10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingers Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 @CarryOnVilla I was joking re the yellow lion.... As per the previous 200 odd pages, never yellow or gold on blue, claret on blue, or maybe gold on claret (with enough blue elsewhere), or blue on claret... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit cheap n cheerful isn’t it? Couldn’t they have cleaned/jet washed the brickwork or even painted it to “spruce it all up” before painting on all the logos? Maybe do a better job in future Make it look more like this: Edited May 13 by Jas10 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah… we’re stuck with the same old problem… Shocked that the most obvious issue has not been addressed and we’re sticking with the same colours… it’s almost pointless to bother redesigning if the colours aren’t going to change.

OutByEaster? Posted May 13 Moderator Share Posted May 13 It's good to see Adidas getting so involved and wanting to put time and effort in - the murals look a little scruffy and the building could have done with a bit of a scrub while they were there - but I guess that reflects that it might well be a building site this time next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
