Popular Post Risso Posted December 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2023 The design is atrocious. The 'AV' looks like 'AU' and the 150 looks like a cock and balls. It's a bizarre mish mash of old and new, and looks like something Randy Lerner would have come up with on MS Paint. Dire. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Whatever it is and whatever it’s for… it’s pretty pathetic. An abysmal effort. Trying not to let this affect my feelings toward how our new club crest might look but… it’s difficult and hard not to be concerned… Looks like a flipping beer coaster. Hate it. Not a fan of the colours/shades either, zero vibrancy. Couldn’t they have come up with something more akin to this (130th anniversary of the foundation of the Football League) which is, frankly, miles better? Though I’m not completely sure what this new design is actually for and how/where it will be featured. Some proper communication or explanation would have been welcome as heck… Regardless, it’s completely shoddy work and a bit embarrassing… I hope we have much better quality to look forward to… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 There’s just nothing “Aston Villa” about that design… beyond underwhelming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 That is an abysmal font. Hope we didn’t pay too much for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 (edited) It's very American. It's using a decent colour palette. It is steadily kind of growing on me, but I feel like it's in a way that you get nose blind to a bad smell. I'm hoping the colour scheme is a guide to what we're going to see on the new badge, but beyond that I don't see myself going out my way to buy anything with just this marque on it.

Wurzel Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 IT reminds me of an ice-cream or coffee logo tbh, I suppose until we know how it is going to be used it would be churlish to be too harsh about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Wonder if the colour scheme is a hint of the direction forward, if so I'm on board. MORE Claret and gold... With the blue as accents etc. I don't think people realise how limiting our current structure can be from a design standpoint, especially with kits imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhoo, the design style itself looks like someone's idea of ornate and traditional, but it's just an astonishing failure in every single aspect of what "football club badge" design should be achieving, even for a one-off anniversary badge. Unless this is not supposed to be a badge on the shirt? But even if it's not going on the shirt, it's a total car crash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 I don't think it is the badge. It will just be part of the 150th branding. The colours are perfect and we should be using those exact shades going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Lol. Took me 5 minutes to understand what it was supposed to be saying. Absolutely abysmal. If that’s the bar for the new badge, Christ, we’re in for a treat there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 It’s bloody awful! There’s no way that’s our new badge. The colours feel really dull, and the font is like my vomit after a belly full of spaghetti and red wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted December 20, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 20, 2023 It's not the badge. It is abysmal. It's worrying that the badge could look anything like that or that this marque or something remotely similar would be used anywhere for any reason to apparently represent Aston Villa. I hope to McGrath that someone reads these forums. There's a social media person isn't there? If not then they're not doing their job properly.

We should have literally copied this in Villa colours. We tried that last year with Chelsea's badge. Copying another team's badge and changing the colours isn't great.
