New badge

[Billy Walker]

There does seem to be another Lion recently trademarked by Villa.  I can't do the links very well but maybe a mod could get the link up:

Much obliged.

According to John Lerwill, "Prepared" was on our first crest back in 1878.

128 years of history thrown away by some asshole making a"commercial" decision. Fan fucking tastic.

Like this one?



Or this one?

Don't know what it is but there's just something about the 3rd division badge that I really like.

I found this link, Sorry if its already been posted


Yesterday, news broke on a potential new crest and today, it looks like we might know what that badge looks like.

Someone at VT has paged through the trademark filings and found a registered trademark that ticks the boxes — new, clawed lion and the removal of "prepared" being the imperative ones.

That can't be it or even similar to it. I refuse to believe it will be that shit.

Worst crest ever ffs.

Its a groping lion.

Floundering I'd call it.

Never please everybody but I'd go for either a revamp of the old one (sorry circular one that keeps getting posted) or a new one based on these two images.

I don't see the point in the new one (if its proved to be what they are planning)  Its too similar for a whole brand change

And why change the badge if you're actively pursuing a buyer for the club?

Well done Tom Fox, fucked up everything that mattered beyond belief, but then pissing around the edges with stuff like this. That man should be stoned for his service to Aston Villa.

Judging by some of the decisions taken over the last 5 years I think they've all been getting stoned on a regular basis.

Here's the other Lion that has recently been trademarked.

The Round badge please.

Thats a more detailed version of the lion used on the, what looks likely to be, new badge

I'd be surprised if that was it because it looks like that was applied for in August last year. Whilst its a slight improvement (claws etc.), its still tragically shit IMO. Charlie Wijeratna joined in February 2015, so it is possible.

Exactly Jimbo.  The new owners, should there be new owners, may well want something quite different.

We're not though are we? There's no way Lerner will sell now, he wants all his money back and right now that can only be a dream.

I think that lion looks good.  Maybe not the whole badge, but I like the more aggressive looking lion.

[andyh]

If that is the new crest/badge, then whilst the Rampant Lion looks like it has been enhanced, the overall effect is that it looks cheap and nasty.

How the hell do you manage to do that ?

An obese stray cat with the word "unprepared" might be more appropriate.
