Our current badge/crest

[Legion]

I put foreward a design ( arrogant, moi?) that was a compilation of a simplified 50's shield with Lion surrounded/ juxtaposed by the 80s circle with ASTON VILLA  and Prepared on it.

Care to share?

[Simba]

I wouldn't dare thanks  :)  Not after all the fuss over those ( great ) kit suggestions that were presented a couple of weeks ago.

No, better let sleeping dogs and all that. Too late now innit.

I'd like to see it. There was a thread about our 'new' badge/crest from a few years ago that from your date of joining you'd have missed. It would be interesting to see what you produced.

Post it Simba, otherwise we'll all think you're lion

Sorry

[JJ-AV]

I'd love to see it too.

[JJ-AV]

Much MUCH better.

Agree.

That said I don't mind the badge. And I like the way it's very different from the old one, we needed a new image and we're slowly starting to get it.

What would be silly now is to change it, we need continuity in our brand. I think we're stuck with it.

The only thing with the old badge - as much as I like that one (the round one)- its all a bit Chelsea, Middlesbrough, etc etc

Not their current one...

It's an age thing though, the circle badge was only around from the mid 1970s to 1992... 17 years max.

It's just to a large number of posters on here it is the badge they grew up and is associated with the EC etc...

Chelsea went back to a very old version of their badge and slightly modernized it.

[The Man With A Stick]

I don't see why we couldn't just have a basic lion on the shirt, like Spurs have with their cockerel.  No text, nothing else, not needed.  A few other clubs have a rampant lion yes, but we're the Villa so they can all do one.

I wouldn't have minded something more along these lines (just a quick edit on my part):

It wouldn't really stand out on the shirt, would it?

You could always alternate colors as other teams do:







But if you had to squeeze everything into the actual crest:



I don't know, just a thought. I just don't like the white space inside the crest.

Looks like a fucking vase.
