maqroll Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) This is a great badge and a perfect template for us to use. ASTON on top, VILLA on bottom, 18 and 74 on sides, and a shield with a highy detailed lion and the Prepared motto under it.

I actually wanted to bring in the Morden underground station somehow but couldn't find an appropriate gif... so ended up with an even more niche Babylon 5 inspired gif. Probably why it wasn't autocorrected though as it is a legitimate word. For clarification, I'm not suggesting we go with a London underground inspired badge, nor a babylon 5 one.

Paddywhack Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I really can’t be arsed with it to be honest, I’m so disengaged with this club’s nonsense away from the pitch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Crudely and quickly changed this on my phone, how about a properly done version? Think the colour scheme works. Looks clear zoomed out or from a distance (smaller) too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen_Evans Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 My own reason for not wanting a gold/yellow lion is it makes a peripheral colour a main colour. Our main colours are (obviously!) claret and blue. If you have a gold lion on claret, you’re getting a bit West ‘am. And the less said about yellow/gold on blue the better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Townsend Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 My ranking of villa badges 1. The one that was there until the late 1960s (claret lion on a blue shield) 2. The round badge we had 1970s- 1992 3. The 90s crest with prepared underneath 4. The late 90s/early 00s upgrade of the 90s crest to a shield. 5. The post 2016 upgraded Lerner badge 6. The original Lerner badge, 2007-2016 Just Don't give us more yellow than either blue or claret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted October 2, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 2, 2023 The off centre space in 'Aston Villa' on the current badge annoys me more then it should. I know why it's like that, the font spacing, but it looks wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw you'd done a diamond without but couldn't see the gas lamp shape without and would be interesting to see.

We could flip this and say we are getting a bit " Scunthorpe " or Burnley the other way round. I think we actually need to use our colours to differentiate ourselves. EDIT: Just remembered Burnley have actually removed the Blue from their badge. In Hecks 76ers " On brand " presentation, he was big on " owning a colour " Edited October 2, 2023 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the one I quickly changed on phone. I just think claret on a claret shirt (maybe not taken into account that often) is too “bland”, dull or boring. The gold/yellow really breaks things up and makes the lion stand out, which should be the focal point: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) Honestly, I think the standalone lion is fine. Is there really a need for an outer crest/badge/border? Edited October 2, 2023 by Jas10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Have to agree with this, it’s too generic. We should have a unique badge that really stands out from all the others (particularly in PL). Too many round badges nowadays. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
