After completing my own comprehensive visual identity rebrand project, I have come up with this:

Time spent = a few seconds
Total costs = fuck all

Final, irrefutable, cast-iron, undeniable, inarguable proof that they've finally fucking lost it.

Who - the people say it's a better badge than the previous one, those who don't care either way, or those who wonder what all the angst is about?

Worrying about the way the badge has been redesigned at the moment strikes me as being akin to a resident of Berlin in April 1945 getting worked up about there not being anything good on the telly.

Whoever it was who sanctioned the most basic and unimaginative re-design imaginable - and spent a lot of money' in the process - when the club are laying staff off all over the shop - that's who.

No proof at all, then.

AVST patron Jonny Gould not overly impressed

Thing is, i agree, the round badge is the best one, by a mile, but that's probably because it's what we wore when I was growing up and as I became an adult, so it means a lot to me.

To others, younger types, it'll mean nothing.

A bit like Theme From An Unmade Silent Movie - fills me with nostalgia, will mean fuck all for your 20 somethings.

I do think, though, that the new badge is a very slight improvement on the previous one. The problem is, the old one was truly execrable - some real font offences going on and far too crowded.

The eighty grand that has been spent on this is less than two weeks of Charlie's wages. It won't be the difference between people being laid off or not.
