Crest Review

[Bad English]

*Aston Villa, that's who!🎵

[Drummond]

It's growing on me. The lion is ace. The star less so.

[Simon Page]

It's okay. As long as it isn't huge on the nipple, like the acreage of a dictator's medals, it'll be inoffensive. Think I'm with Perce on the improvements.

Cheers for posting.

The lion looks worse than the current one. All that over fussy embossed look. If one of the criticisms of the new round badge was it didn’t work on digital, that one looks like it would work even less to me.

The thing with trying to introduce a new crest you'll never get a consensus. Personally I like the round badge, but the lions facing the wrong way. No matter how many times I look the current badge, the lion is still wrong.  But I can live with it.  But the star is just wrong & the sort of thing lesser clubs do because they know they'll never achieve that status again. I think it's small-time, others will think it's an appropriate nod to our greatest time.

Some will want prepared, some will want just a lion, some will argue it's the wrong shade of claret, we must have the star, it's Aston Villa FC, not Aston Villa or AVFC and 1874.

Maybe it's all cosmetic or maybe it's fundamental to our identity?

[Demitri_C]

It’s better than the wrong way facing Lion one.

Exactly thats the most unlikeable aspect.of  any designs to date

My issue with the star is I've never seen it placed somewhere it fits. It always looks like a clumsy add-on. I assume it's there as a result of us going from "don't mention 1982" to "proud history" and therefore mentioning Rotterdam in every other sentence. It just doesn't really have a natural place on any traditional-ish Villa badge.

When do we storm Heck's London office?

If we must have a star, why don’t we just do the same as the England kit, have one embroidered above the badge in the same colour of the shirt, so it’s subtle and leaves the badge clutter free.

Agreed. If we must.

Because someone had a brain fart and it’s still lingering in the air like dense curry fog that has you questioning whether or not you’ve just soiled yourself or got away with it.

Agreed. If we must.

It's so painfully logical that that should happen.

From memory somebody probably Premier League said that wasn’t allowed in the first place and we thought we could get round it by including it inside the badge.

I still don’t see why we need it. I’d much rather “Prepared” was added!

Forest manage to get their two above theirs.

[edgysatsuma89]

Isn't it what Forest do? Or is that because it doesn't have a border? I would just have it above the badge for any European games.

Yep but they don’t have a shield so perhaps technically inside the crest?
