Villa Badges

[Chipsticks]

Looking down at my Aston Villa keychain I had unsurprisingly received for Christmas, I noticed something that I never thought I would. I actually really like the current badge. Tell me I'd be thinking this four years ago and I would have scoffed in your face, but it's really grown on me. It has an aura of class about it, and gives the impression of a 'big club'. I can even get over the fact that they 'de-clawed' the rampant lion, and even the lack of claret on it, mostly through the inclusion of the star to signify our European Cup win.



I really liked it's predecessor, mind, and I'm not sure why. I'd imagine it's because it's the badge I grew up with, but I do like the fact it looks like the lions about to beat the shit out of you.



What are your favourite old badges of ours?

I'm a bit unsure about the choice of font for 'Prepared' on the new one, though.

[Brend'Watkins]

I've liked the latest badge since the outset.  I like is simplicity.

The only downside to me is the star.  As great an achievement as it was we are more than a club that has the biggest European prize under it's belt.  We embody more than that.

So what else would you have included? Maybe loads of little stars for the FA Cup and League Cup wins? Something more?

[JJ-AV]

It's definitely a grower.

I like them all to be honest, from the circle one to the last one to the new one

[London Villan]

Still a very weak design in my eyes. The star is in the wrong place, the fonts are a mish mash, there's not enough contrast, especially when the badge is being used on video screens and the lion has stupid looking paws...

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Always be the old circular badge for me, not keen on the current one with the Lion chucking a Kung-Fu star.

[PaulTheVillan]

My fav!

[Chipsticks]

I always think the Lion looks more like a dragon in that one Paull!

I would have included nothing and left it as it is minus the star.

The star has no historical significance to our club.  If and when we play in the Champions League as it is now,  we can adopt one outside the current badge just as other winners currently do.

The old circular one is still the best.

The badly designed mess that is the latest badge perfectly encapsulates Lerner's running of the club.

Wow didn't even make it off page 1.....
