imavillan Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Looking from a slightly different angle at cricket. Birmingham Bears and Warwickshire are simplistic but instantly recognisable. I'm sure we could do something with just the lion, modernise it maybe? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timberwolves and 76ers look like they belong to the same parent group. At least as much as we look like Chelsea at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially on a claret shirt. I think swapping some colours over would have made them both better.... Personally just think adding a yellow border makes a big difference and helps it stand out more, just like the old badge. Oh, and the lion facing the usual way. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Can we have the lion facing left again. The only reason why they've done it right is because it's the same as the Chelsea badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan95 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 These were my attempts at a diamond shaped AV badge And with the star incorporated quick image upload Last one is probably a bit much? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours are like two drafts of the same badge—ours is much better. Chelsea's is pants, but still, in the modern era they came first whether we like it or not and regardless of the badge being ours back in the day. We can't really compete for reach with a team like Chelsea, and travelling the exact same path as them with the badge is just silly imo. The gaslamp option for me is a perfect modernised version of our late 90s/00s badge and I literally love it. It's perfect. There's no wasted space at all—all the focus is on the name and the lion. Sure, the colours could and probably should be tweaked to make the lion stand out even more, but you can't do better than that. Riquissimo... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted June 28, 2023 Moderator Share Posted June 28, 2023 It's difficult - I also like the gaslamp shield and I think Heck would prefer a shield - but you can't really bring that one back when it was so heavily outvoted by the fanbase when put up against the round badge - you'd get a load of noise about ignoring fans, and potentially some opposition from the FA on their cultural objects rulings so they'll need to come up with something that's in some way different to the (very good) Gaslamp shield but still meets Heck's liking for a traditional shield. The diamond ones are horrible - and thankfully I don't think there's any appetite in the club to do anything extreme. I wouldn't be too surprised to see something very traditional next season for the 150th (just a lion?) followed by a slightly cleaned up version of last years shield for the season after and the foreseeable future. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Captain_Townsend Posted June 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2023 All of this just makes me wonder, again, why a perfectly good revamp as approved by fans has been set aside for yet more tinkering and ultimately bickering. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted June 28, 2023 Author VT Supporter Share Posted June 28, 2023 43 minutes ago, MrBlack said: Yeah I thought the same, especially on the gaslight one. But I think a gold lion looks better than a claret one, especially so on our primary shirt colour, and it's just the fact it was washed out by a blue background that made it bad before. Gold lions do look cool, and are a suitably lion colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
est1874 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Could anyone explain to me why people think Heck's 76ers rebrand is so good? I think it looks bland, lacking in personality, and overall just a bit shit tbh. Their previous logo/brand was admittedly dated but still much much more distinct and interesting to me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'd like to see (if you don't mind my input), is the horizontal line removed from the A, so it's more symmetrical, with the new lion placed centrally within the newly created space and facing the new way (I'm already used to it). Your design idea was my favourite by a distance last time round 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
