wishywashy Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Hearing that this decision was taken when Heck played PES for the first time and saw the West Midlands Village badge. On a perhaps related note, also hearing that Villa are in advanced talks with KONAMI over purchasing exclusive image rights for one of their assets. It's happening.

Popular Post skarroki Posted June 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2023 I have the artistic talent of a 3 year old with a blindfold on but I've given it a go of the design I'd like, if anyone with more ability would like to take the "proper" gas lamp outline idea along with the more classic rampant lion and the star at the top of the badge, plus the Aston Villa FC all being on the badge along with 1874, I'd appreciate it. 2 1 3 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the sort of thing you're going for, with the bolder gas lamp variation but why does the lion look like someone's just walked in on it in the shower 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 (edited) Interesting read on rebranding … Quote So a new crest or logo redesign is always going to walk a fine line: get it right and you’re looking at a fresh visual identity that can usher in a new era for a club, hopefully one that will be linked to an ongoing period of success, elevating it to iconic status. Get it wrong and it becomes a laughing stock; to the fans, the hierarchy will have committed a cardinal sin, messing with the very essence of the club. They will not forgive, while all rival fans won’t let them forget. https://www.soccerbible.com/design/miscellaneous/2021/the-best-logo-rebrands-in-modern-football/ As I said before I’d ditch the rampart lion and go bold… Edited June 24, 2023 by thabucks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be thrilled with something like that but can’t see the majority of the fanbase going with it Most people are obsessed with a round, 1982 style badge 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Another good website on sports logos https://sportslogohistory.com Quote There are a number of misconceptions about logos and historical sports logos that will be tackled here at Sports Logo History. Many of you are used to only seeing a team’s primary logo. The primary logo is more commonly associated with each team because its purpose is to be at the forefront of the marketing image and face of the team. However, fans will get to look at the history of a team’s alternative and wordmark logos for each team as well. This will help fans to learn a well-rounded view of a team’s sports logo history.

Popular Post Chindie Posted June 24, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2023 I've always hated that Juventus badge. I get it, but it's too minimal. It has nothing about it. Never saw what people liked about it. The Nantes one is a better way of doing 'that' style. But doing that for us is going to look shite. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted June 24, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 24, 2023 (edited) I’ve just knocked this up in about 5 mins on my phone, and obv it’s shit, and it’s a clip art lion… but you could use a diamond shape to be the A and V and have a lion and… well, to be honest this is rubbish, but if a designer spent a bit more time on this concept it could work Edited June 24, 2023 by alreadyexists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the Nantes and Juventus ones but alot of people here don't. To be fair, I liked Juventus old badge as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
