Given the crossbars on the capital I with Comic Sans, the right kerneling would allow our name to be centred with this font, making the badge look absolutely **** shit still. Because comic sans. That O is basically a circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe convert that to word art and change the star to a scribbled asterisk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd need the 1874 and star as these were outcomes of the 2023 fan survey. I think that looks great though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GarethRDR Posted June 3 Popular Post Share Posted June 3 2 hours ago, nick76 said: The shield just doesn’t work for us. People don’t like the round but there are plenty of other shapes that would surely work better. This is the bit that really pisses me off. I loved the round badge, but I understand why people might want something different; what should have happened, then, given the clear and present remit from the fanbase, is the exploration of a gas-lamp shaped badge (all of which options were presented as part of the fan consultation were vastly superior to what we've wound up with). Essentially the baby was thrown out with the bathwater, Heck (or whomever was ultimately responsible for the current abhorration) then took a shit in said bathtub and said we have to smell it and like it. It's an insulting disregard of the fanbase, and sees us going into what will be our most important/highest profile campaign in decades with a cheap excuse for a badge, one of the most important symbols of this club. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 (edited) I get not liking the badge, but in the theme of hyperbole with all things people on the board don't like, some are scraping the absolute bottom of the barrel for reasons why it's shit and why the half a billion pound corporation operates on " Amateur Hour " Edit: All I'm saying is that even if it's shit... It's guaranteed that we paid professionals handsomely to make it the highest quality shit possible. Edited June 3 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My issue with the gas lamp option last year was that it looked like a version that wasn't really produced to win the vote. It didn't look complete and felt like a "well we gave you a choice" effort. Conceptually I think it was far superior (unique, clear and obvious ties to our history, yet also a fresh, new twist). I think there was a great badge / brand in there but it never quite got "finished" which is a real shame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alakagom Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 12 minutes ago, fightoffyour said: Yeah, especially with the right colours Too close to West Ham. That's the problem that I'm sure Villa was aware and is exactly why they chose the specific colour combination, worse looking badge no doubt but at least we stand out.

est1874 Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 6 hours ago, CarryOnVilla said: There's been a bit of chat about the yellow lion and it should be gold.. However the gold we ever had, has always been yellow. it's just an optical effect that yellow on claret makes the yellow more golden.. so in an attempt to replicate a more golden colour i got to these A. So much worse than the yellow and learns far more on the drop shadow to get the contrast. in the bin B. looks nicer on a claret shield. but West Ham... in the bin C. A smidge more Viila, but i'm still not convinced in the bin D. This will only look good as a graphic or made with real metallic material. preferably real gold, unrealistic, in the bin There is no colour "gold" anyway. Gold is a mineral which itself has many colours. There is yellow gold, white gold, rose gold etc. The colour gold you're referring to is just a darker (or perhaps washed-out, depending on who you ask) shade of yellow.
