Popular Post nick76 Posted May 19 Popular Post Share Posted May 19 (edited) @OutByEaster? at the FAB meeting this week, ask them about the shite new badge. Ask them about the timing of release on X being poor. Ask them if they know what a good design looks like because this is horrendous. Ask why most of the fans hate it and yet they’ve still gone with it. Ask them why the communication has been so poor on it. Is it because they know the backlash on it?

Lion looks horrendous there too Yes we just need to rearrange the layout, change the lion, remove the drop shadow, forget the star, adjust the colour scheme, and use a better font. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'll go down better than the round badge but doesn't mean anything of course. The round badge was overwhelmingly voted for by the fans so no idea what you are talking about. Doesnt matter about the round badge now, this in isolation is an abomination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted May 19 VT Supporter Share Posted May 19 (edited) Fwiw, I felt the tone in @nick76’s post was more impassioned/frustrated towards the club than anger towards OBE. The tweet really was spectacularly bad timing. Edited May 19 by Mark Albrighton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only go on that. It is shite though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like in 2022. because the people voting probably arent a true reflection of most Villa fans. Selection by committee is usually the worst of all worlds. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Anyone else find the timing of the release on Twitter weird? Almost like when a political party announce some kind of policy at 5pm on a Friday. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like they did in 2022. So if they ask "Do you like this badge" to the general supporter base, you get the full spectrum from the people in this thread to the little old ladies to the general masses who haven't considered colour theory and will like it because it has a lion and "Aston Villa" on it. And then it scrapes over the line to 54.8%, and another badge that has been "voted for". Fan votes are bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted May 19 VT Supporter Share Posted May 19 It’s not obvious to me how much this new badge is going to central to the 150th anniversary. Because there is a fairly good chance I will be buy some sort of commemorative piece to mark the occasion. I likely won’t be around for the 200th one. If what I want to buy is dependent on its aesthetic appeal - some artwork or similar, as opposed to say a book - and it has a badge I don’t like looking at on it…I am a lot less likely to buy that item.
