CarryOnVilla Posted Monday at 08:47 Share Posted Monday at 08:47 13 minutes ago, wishywashy said: https://www.thedrum.com/news/2024/07/01/aston-villa-rolls-out-new-fans-first-identity-it-repositions-global-brand?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Definitely an.. interesting view of the badge debacle set out by Heck in this interview. He'd already previously made the claim that he was unaware of the redesign before taking over (which given his remit and the publicity of the redesign seems a bit difficult to believe) but now there's a suggestion that it wasn't him that dropped it? Eh? Also had a giggle at this. Like, hello? He really doesn’t help himself. No self awareness at all. as for the bit about the round badge and its branding. I think this quote is closer to the truth. There wasn’t any extra branding with the round badge, or non available to the public at least… so it was never made, or as Heck says it was ”dropped”.

The Fun Factory Posted Monday at 10:19 Share Posted Monday at 10:19 (edited) So we have this so-called brand expert who pulled the plug on one professionally done design (despite his denials) and replaced it with a new cheap in-house design instead? And is now gaslighting us with piffle like this? Hmm okay. Edited Monday at 10:24 by The Fun Factory 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are lawyers working for law firms and there are lawyers working in-house direct for companies etc. It is no doubt the same in graphic design and what have you. Someone in-house can be perfectly well qualified to do what is needed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroesAndVillans Posted Monday at 11:01 VT Supporter Share Posted Monday at 11:01 He has no idea, does he? Shameful. We look and act like such a well run entity at the moment, but he sticks out like a sore thumb. He does not know or care about our identity as a football club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted Monday at 13:04 VT Supporter Share Posted Monday at 13:04 Sounds like he's realised the thing he had done 'in house' is **** diabolical and doesn't want to be associated with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted Monday at 13:15 Share Posted Monday at 13:15 Slippery shitbird. Hope we're making absolute bank off the deals he's ostensibly brokered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted Monday at 13:28 Share Posted Monday at 13:28 What's more plausible... That all he does is lie non stop, and the club ( Owners and Board etc ) just allow him to lie non stop while keeping a job without consequence ... Or... That maybe he's not lying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. He thought the crest he picked would be accepted instead of roundly panned. Now he is trying to deflect any criticism away from himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owners are only interested in him delivering increased revenue for the club. They don't care whether fans like him or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepal_villan Posted Monday at 14:06 Share Posted Monday at 14:06 The line about him not knowing why the round badge was canned is pretty outrageous. How can you develop a new badge if you don't know why the old one is being replaced so suddenly? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to know what to keep and what to avoid on the new badge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t need to know why to ask those questions. I work in this industry. I’ve created logos/banding without knowing why they wanted to change. All I know is, it’s a paying gig and CarryOnWife wants a new sofa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you develop a new badge if you don't know why the old one is being replaced so suddenly? And it was him. We heard in June 2023 that a launch was planned for the new round badge for the Brighton game and Heck the new appointment bummed it. In May 2024, in the other puff piece Heck did, he said he was stunned to learn in May 2023 that we had a new badge lined up and he decided there had been insufficient consultation with fans! He is actually quite like Trump in that he says whatever at whatever moment to get him through and must assume his audience has no memory of how things actually went or what was said previously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
