Crest Review

[Rico]

Seeing as the future King is a Villa fan maybe we should incorporate some royal heraldry into the new crest - like a royal warrant.

Behave yourself. Anyway the lion is already taken from the Royal Banner of Scotland.

A guillotine?

I appreciate the thinking behind the logo design by the Canadian Villa fan (forgive me I don't know his name) but yeah, not a design I'd like to see. Made me think that maybe the club could dredge up three awful designs and one stellar one to help unite us behind a badge.

What you want and a few shit options to make sure you get your own way is pretty much how I handle every project I work on.

All sounds like far too much common sense and consideration in the approach to this. Just get some crayons and crack on!

And this is to decide whether we should go for the 'Risso' or 'German James' badge, right?

[cdbearsfan]

I like it except for Item 7, sounds like gimmicky nonsense might win the day. At least it will have our name on and won't be an insipid yellow any more, by the sound of it.

I assume that RL's mosaic will have to be redone, or will it remain as an ode to Comic Sans?

I do love the mosaic.  After the years of penny-pinching it was great to see (someone else's) money being spunked with abandon.

One on the home kit, the other on the away.

I've seen the options. SBJ&tO.

[Risso]

A few other people who were at the FCG are saying on Twitter there were three options. The lion isn’t yellow and it will say Aston Villa.

[Legion]

3 options to be reviewed before 2 are made available to vote on.

[KRS]

What does “SBJ&tO” mean?

Edit: I’ve Googled “SBJ” and I’m pretty sure it’s not what Dave meant!
