The Fun Factory Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Looks more detailed, but still too much blue. It isn't Unai Emery pale blue and gold army. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallisFrizz Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 When are they announcing this f*****g badge?! Fed up of my timeline being swamped with mock ups and speculation. Just announce it so we can have the meltdown and the crack on with the rest of the season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyjavfc Posted January 17 VT Supporter Share Posted January 17 Not sure I understand. Just sounds like somebody has traced the lions and added them to Shutterstock. Presumably violating our trademark. The club should look into that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not where our lions came from. An internationally renowned company like Dragon Rouge isn't going to just grab a vector lion off Shutterstock. Thought someone with his experience would know better and maybe dig a little deeper. 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

est1874 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 1 hour ago, Villa_Vids said: Deliberately misleading tweet. He knows (as he details later on) - as should most fans - that this lion was created for Villa on a bespoke basis by a wood carver back in 2015. All sorts of things end up on Shutterstock as royalty-free graphics, it's not hard to extract elements from HQ images online and upload them individually in the public domain. What this expressly doesn't mean is that the club (or Dragon Rouge in the case of the round badge for that matter), turned around and just lifted a random stock image of a lion to slap on the crest. It's not hard to make the club look lazy over this latest badge revamp. Why someone who is supposedly a fan (and a graphic designer) would go out of their way with a disingenuous attempt like this is beyond me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same person who published the Villa lion has also published Spurs' rooster, Arsenal's cannon, and most impressive of all the double-headed eagle on the Albanian flag. Either the account is just stealing stuff or we've stumbled upon the most bizarre plagiarism conspiracy of all time Edited January 17 by wishywashy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Teale's 'tache Posted January 17 Popular Post Share Posted January 17 9 minutes ago, Stevo985 said: His second tweet in that thread literally says it could have been taken from our badges and put onto Shutterstock The problem is it is in the second less visible tweet. He knows (or should know as somebody with so much experience in the industry) that this is what has happened, there's no 'could' about it, but he has still tried to mislead people in his first and most visible tweet for some reason (most likely clout/interactions). It's just irresponsible. Misinformation is a global problem at the moment and 'experts' like Lee using their knowledge to manufacture outrage is not very helpful to anyone. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
