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 I don't doubt that you could come up with something that does the job as a designer, but I don't believe for one **** minute that a new high flying executive came in, with the branding as his specialty and remit, heard that the club were just backing out of a rebrand that left us in the embarrassing position of having two different badges concurrently, and lacked the basic curiosity to say "so what's gone on here lads?" And anyone who believes we sank millions into a rebrand, brought this guy in, and then scrapped it weeks after he'd been in the job but that he not only had absolutely no say in it, but wasn't even aware of the contents of the discussions...well, what can I say. It's ludicrous. I don't know if he's thick as shit, or if he just thinks we are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The what’s going on here lads, was the owners thought it was shit… knowing why they think it’s shit is meaningless to getting on with something they want. They want something different, you ask what do they want. Not why they didn’t want the last thing, especially when you agree it’s shit. What he clearly does the best he probably knows is “Purslow **** up” but he can’t state that openly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither reflects well on them, and neither is very likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stevo985 Posted Monday at 17:55 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted Monday at 17:55 (edited) Badge looks lovely on the Black training tops with the green mono badge. Not perfect, but it looks smart Further evidence that it’s the yellow on blue that is the big issue with it Edited Monday at 17:56 by Stevo985 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted Monday at 17:59 VT Supporter Share Posted Monday at 17:59 It looks better in monotone, but it's a low bar, it's still a fundamentally shit design. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me thats probably one of the biggest issues with it is the colouring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 1874 creates too much space between the lion and the name. Without that I think the design would be good. The main issue is the colours. And the shadow of course 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The balance of it, the layout, the pathetic squeezing of the name in a tiny font at the bottom, and so on. It's crap. Really does look like it's been made with stock art on a cheap design package. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted Monday at 21:08 Share Posted Monday at 21:08 I have to say though the badge looks much bettee than that crap one last season. Im just relived the lions the correct way as its been like that our whole PL era. I absolutely hated that more than anything 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree more! I've tried to not focus on it, tried to accept it, as despite what Mr Heck says, the fans views don't matter at all - but its so poor. Everywhere I see it, I struggle to read our name, see a yellow blob on blue, and a pixelated double border. And how Mr Heck has the front to spout some of the rubbish he has in that Drum article beggers belief. Ah well, looks like we are stuck with it....maybe we get just a lion on the third kit..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only improvement is there's no drop shadow. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's far from a great badge, my point really was how much better it looks without the horribke light blue and light yellow combination 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyjavfc Posted yesterday at 17:11 VT Supporter Share Posted yesterday at 17:11 I don’t mind the badge on the training gear actually, and like that it seems to be massive. This badge doesn’t do well at small sizes as “Aston Villa” and especially “1874” are not legible, but at larger sizes it looks cleaner. Hope the main kits have it at the same size.
