New badge

[oswald funkletrumpet]

It's all part of a 'comprehensive visual identity rebrand project' apparantly.

I'd love to see the Gantt chart for this one:
1st April - Assess old badge
2nd April - Remove the word 'Prepared'
3rd April - Issue invoice to AVFC for £80,000

got to love a gantt chart. bet there werent many milestones on it

Changing the badge? Brilliant.  That'll sort all our troubles out.  At least Mr Hollis has his priorities right.  So much for the brave new board we have.  Business as usual by the looks of it.

[Jon Crofts]

More effective in the digital age.  I'm sure we'd all be much happier being effective in front of goal, across the middle, at the back and in goal.  The usual fucking shit from the owner.

Ah, the ray of sunshine is back.

Far as I'm aware it was a Fox initiative rather than Hollis.  Still, we wouldn't want facts to get in the way of a good moan.

Summed up beautifully  by Brian Little's conversation with Tom Fox: ‘We are working hard on the commercial side’ and I’m going, ‘No, no Tom, that’s not it. It’s about the football’.

[Jon Crofts]

It's the sort of thing we should have kept behind the curtain until our promotion and inevitable march on Europe starts this time next year. But no, the idiot man child recluse thinks now is a good time.

[Nelly]

I think because it's so similar to the previous one the lack of the word 'prepared' or anything at the bottom makes it seem a bit empty, soulless. The embroidered version seems to look nicer than the graphic one. But like last time, I was hoping for something grander rather than this bland simplicity. Oh well.

[Jon Crofts]

Removing 8 letters at a cost of £80,000 that's £10k a letter.

Far better, cheaper and more realistic would have been the addition of just 2 letters U and N.

UNPREPARED

[Villa in Denmark]

It's the sort of thing we should have kept behind the curtain until our promotion and inevitable march on Europe starts this time next year. But no, the idiot man child recluse thinks now is a good time.

I think the timing had more to do with Gregg "shit stirrer" Evans getting wind of it, making up a daft fee to create a non story and splashing it all over his no-newspaper's website.

Cue the club having to put out a terse statement correcting the financial (non) implications and pretty much being forced into bring it out now.  Not even the most detached, insular idiot could think that now was a good time to do this, unless pretty much forced into it by external circumstances.

God forbid a villa fan might have reason to moan right about now!

Or they could have just denied it. I'm sure it's 6 of one half a dozen of the other.

[PeterWithesShin]

Why would they deny something that is true? Can you imagine the shit they'd get on here if they lied about something.

There's some things not worth moaning about though, like this story which has been completely out of proportion.
