est1874 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 The next inane complaint will be the wording "Aston Villa is..." rather than the use of the plural. In 3... 2... 1... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most teams in MLB have a stylised monogram of their name that they use in their marketing; less so in other sports. Seems to be more traditional for Baseball. I think it can look classy if done right. The AV150 wouldn’t look out of place in this list: Exactly, showed the 150 year anniversary logo to my graphic designer girlfriend the other day, and as well as being very unconplimentary of it as a design, first thing she said was it looks like a logo for an American baseball team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s with the weird pixillated fuzziness around the bordered Villa? The whole thing doesn’t jive.. the text in white doesn’t fit the marque font either. Is it just me?

Risso Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 They haven't just enlarged something too much have they, with the weird pixellated bits? I mean, that would be amateurish beyond belief... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Townsend Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 We were a slicker outfit prior to Heck. No question now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, if anything it looks worse given the best thing about the first version we saw was the colours of the outline behind it Strange decision this. Surely they showed it to people and realised you can't read it Just praying that the only element of this that's anywhere near the actual crest is the colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 So we will have this, plus a new crest next season? 4 different logos/crests in 3 seasons, good going. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen_Evans Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 My complaint is that the club cannot simultaneously be 150 years old and in its 150th season. Next season will be the 151st! This is the 150th. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When this logo/mark or whatever was first shown, I thought is was a joke. It looks absolutely shite, confused and amateur. That our historic and unique name Aston Villa is not writ large is a disgrace. When did our colours become Claret and Gold? Pixellating and only partly showing the word VILLA is yet more disrespect. It really pisses me off and is taking the shine off our success on the pitch. Our new ‘President of Business Operations’ is a **** clown! I have just received the following email from Heck with the above graphic: Hello Mike, 2024/25 will be our 150th Anniversary Season, and I feel privileged to have the opportunity to share this milestone with you. I am absolutely delighted that today we are starting the 150 Day Countdown to the final game of this season against Crystal Palace in May, after which we will switch into our year-long celebration. My team and I are putting together a plan to deliver an unforgettable 2024/25 season that does justice to your beloved club, its storied history and pays tribute to all fans, players and custodians of Aston Villa past and present. To build up the excitement, as part of the 150 Day Countdown we have planned several highlights between today and May 2024: - In January, we will announce our 2024/25 Honorary Anniversary Board, a cross-section of former players, managers, community, fan and club representatives, who will work together to prepare our plans for next year - In early 2024, we will reveal our new club crest built from the input of 16,000 Villa fans - In the spring, we will share an update on our plans for our 2024/25 kit and merchandise - In May, we will formally kick off the anniversary at our end of season player awards dinner Hopefully you are as excited as I am for next year, and I can promise that 2024/25 will be packed full of anniversary events and opportunities to share in the celebration. In short, we will do everything we can to create something truly befitting of your great club and set the standard for similar anniversaries around the world. In the meantime, I’d love for you to share your memories of Aston Villa with us via our dedicated AV150 landing page. We’ll keep updating this as our plans develop, and we’ve also put together a timeline to remind us all of how the club has developed since our founding day back in November 1874. Until then, UTV!

Popular Post Stevo985 Posted December 21, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2023 As crap as I think this logo is, I'm surprised at how angry some people are about it. It's not the badge. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icarium Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 All i can think of when I see this is American West Coast surf or skate brands. Not from the 80s but new ones that are trying to copy the aesthetic without quite nailing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
