Designer1 Posted May 2, 2007 VT Supporter Share Posted May 2, 2007 No. I understand what they were attempting but it just falls incredibly short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocafella Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I wonder what people with background in design think of the badge. I think it lacks "symmetrics", is that a word?........ Designer1 and JohnC, don't you work with design or websites or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted May 2, 2007 Moderator Share Posted May 2, 2007 Do I like it? - Yeah, it's decent. Better than the last one. Do i love it, or feel it captures everything "exactly so" . No, but then again, whatever they'd come up with I'd most likely have said no. It's a no win, really for the club. In summary. It's "OK" but not brilliant. But it doesn't reallt matter that much. It's a massively over-hyped issue. They gave us the chance to have say in it, we had our say, the result is decent. Maybe, just maybe, we have some of us, just lost a little perspective, here. The people who know about marketing the club, about making us better, must be happy with it, the likes of IMG, Nike, the board, globally experienced folk are happy with it. It reflects well enough on our past and future. It unifies the effortd the club will make to bring us success, improvement and good fortune. Villa always has been and always will be my club. I'm overjoyed with the people in charge of it, now. The shield is such a trivial issue, really, compared to results on and off the pitch. There's been almost nothing at all to even contemplate complaining about for a season, now, so the badge gets the supreme "over-hyped" attention of everyone. It's a sign of how much we've come on, that it's an issue, as well as a sign that the club and everything to do with it matter to us, always. Of all the things a fan might be unhapy about, the shape/colour/whatevr of the badge is pretty low down on the list. Not all Villans like the badge. Meanwhile, in other news, MK Dons ground is being built, Leeds are going down the pan, Sunderland are promoted under Roy Keane, Torquay are out the league, Liverpool are in Euro Cup final....

musicw8832 Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 I think it's great and every other Villa fan I've spoken to today has commented positively about it. It only seems like here on Villatalk that it's the same people overreacting needlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 and JohnC, don't you work with design or websites or something? I like it, i can see the certain design 'problems' with it. But some of them can be explained just not everyone's cup of tea.

Grant(aka_eddy) Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 It only seems like here on Villatalk that it's the same people as always overreacting needlessly. Fantastic contribution, feel like being more specific with who? Backing it up with their background in moaning needlessly or just gonna leave it at the widespread unsubstantiated insult?

El Zen Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I think it's just fine, and it's growing on me every time I look at it. Sure, it probably could've been done better, but somehow I'm quite fond of our new badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicw8832 Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 Its panto season Oh no its not just VT - have a look at some of the others or have you done that? Fortunately no, I have a life! I can't be checking Villa sites all day... The badge is great, the overaction by some is just pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drat01 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 So how can you say it's just VT that has a problem with it - and by the way the votes in this poll would suggest you are wrong. As for having a life well done sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicw8832 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 More like it than don't so far... it's about the majority not the minority. And I am not referring to everybody who doesn't like it, it's the way some have just gone on and on about it, there's even been talk of a petition! The likes of Risso, Rocafella and others. Surely they have better things to do than spend all day scouring the crest of their team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 With excitement building over this potential takeover, and people already posting their ideas for new crests in other threads, I thought we might have a thread dedicated to people's ideas for a crest redesign. A poll to gauge how people feel about a redesign too perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isa Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 My problems with current badge: - Poncey, prancing lion - Colouring (too much blue, not enough claret) - Shape of the shield - Location of the star - 'AVFC' instead of 'Aston Villa F.C.' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corcaigh Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Drop the star altogether! it's small time to incorporate it on the crest. When Villa make it into the CL perhaps they can put a star above the crest then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not like we're putting a star on for winning the intertoto. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
