Anything that constitutes the walls of our life, the backdrop of our consciousness, so to speak, forfeits its capacity to play a role in that consciousness.

I like the sharper shield and gaslamp variants, and the diamond I agree. I don't mind the star somewhere on the shirt - I'm just not convinced that it should be in the badge. It will be quite interesting to see whether they release a new badge or whether it will be a full suite of brand components. If the former then it will be harder to sell a badge without a star - if the latter and the star is featured in other components then it becomes easier to explain / align to the survey results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a somewhat creative person who dabbles in design ( Amateur Pro ), the current one has irritated me since its inception. Even moreso when I see it on social media or with all the crests. The one in the flesh on the shirts previously ( Detailed ones ) actually look good in the flesh but shite everywhere else. So I'd assume people heavily involved in design, or who just have an eye for creative, colour balance etc probably get even more wound up than me. Overall though, yeah if it's not hideous we just " accept it "... Not necessarily like it though.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) Anyone seen this... Lol " An AI was asked to create a new badge for Aston Villa, and this was the result.... Should we be worried that that they're already "seeing" machines as better options than the norm? Skynet anyone?! ** PS: If I go missing now, my toasters had me ** #VTID #aiartwork #skynet" In fairness, make this a non robot " Fierce " lion and it's pretty sick.

Similar to the Prepared rubbish we put up with for so long. I always loathed this. Not least because we've been oscillating between rubbish to embarrassing for the majority of my Villa supporting career. So prepared became a stick to beat us with and an obvious form of endless hilarity for any wit who could be bothered to taunt us with a ..to fail .. to lose from a winning position .. to disappoint yet again. It's a struggle to turn it into any form of positive, and probably one of the most limp and stupid phrases ever to be associated with in sport. But what could I do except wince whenever I saw it?

Jas10 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) Solitary lion would look good on a shirt and standout amongst the other badges… It doesn’t need to be too busy or overly detailed, it will just become more obscured that way. If the club are insistent on a shield design, then a thin blue line/shape around it would suffice. More text and detail would only obscure and minimise the lion unless it is minimal and small. Be bold and distinguishable. Edited October 20, 2023 by Jas10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
