It's not the badge. The colours ( we play in claret and blue FFS) and the name (Aston Villa, a unique beautiful name) aren't even on this. It is pathetic. Maybe we would be more forgiving if this joker hadn't come in on day one and binned the new circle crest (oh sorry, explained that it was a 41st anniversary crest for 1982).By doing that he set his own bar exceedingly high.

Pick one or more : It's not shit, that's just your opinion That's exactly how it should look You just don't understand Because you only see a part of it, wait until you see the whole thing it'll be great, promise It's not made for your generation, younger generations love pixelated images Do you work in design? No? Thought so Other clubs don't use pixelated text and you don't want to copy other clubs, do you? It's not even the real crest, relax 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMcKenna Posted December 21, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 21, 2023 This pixellation of the word VILLA is deliberate. This is the graphic used at the top of the ‘AV10 Landing Page’. It is embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the badge. It’s not just the Mark/Logo/Badge is it? 1) In Aston Villa we have one of the most unique names in football but it’s been sidelined. They even struggle to include the word VILLA correctly. 2) Our colours are Claret & Blue, Not Claret & Gold with a bit of blue. ‘Who we are’ and tradition is important to many fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colours were on the one Heck posted on twitter. And also it's not the badge or the crest! Why are people judging this like it's the crest? It's shit, but it's not the club badge! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was people are complaining that they're messing around with our colours and our name etc. They're not. It's a one off logo. Our club colours and badge etc are completely separate. Now they MIGHT **** around with them and I'll be as angry as anyone else. I just don't personally understand why people are so furious over something that's completely separate to that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, how are they **** around with it? It's a simple piece of anniversary branding, it will appear in relatively few places and be gone again in under a year, I honestly think people have lost all perspective on this. But what's new on a Villa forum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted December 21, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 21, 2023 (edited) Can I make a comparison? This is Birmingham City University's logo For their 17th anniversary they released this to commemorate it Lots of people didn't like it. It's a bit shit. But it's completely separate to the actual university's colours, logo, name etc. That wasn't changed, it was completely separate. Nobody was upset about that outside of this specific logo. This logo was just used for activities commemorating the 175th anniversary In my opinion that's exactly what this is. I understand people thinking this 150 logo is shit. I agree with them. What I don't understand is the anger about it. It's just a shit logo. But it's not out badge or our name or our crest or our colours. It's separate (again, they MIGHT **** that up too. And I'll be furious. But I'll wait until that happens before I start spitting feathers) Edited December 21, 2023 by Stevo985 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all relates to the branding and in my opinion the various examples we’ve seen to date suggest we are run by Amateurs. For example, the email from Heck shows the graphic with a white lion facing left and no AVFC Crest. The Landing page, shows the old Villa Crest. It may be graphical semantics at the moment but it is also potentially a sign of things to come. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't personally understand why people are so furious over something that's completely separate to that Because Heck’s first public branding is so poor from a technical design and from just a fan’s view, that it scares us what he’s going to come up with in regards to the badge, kit and then other aspects. You’d think he’d want to get the first thing he does to his clients is accepted or at worst bland enough that nobody cares. This fails on so many levels. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
