I wish they'd stop asking the fans for stuff like this. Just pick a firm who knows what they're doing, and present it to us when you've made a decision. A camel is a horse designed by a committee and all that.

Is there a more grumpy fan base in football?

Apparently the star is still on them, so disappointing. File us with Forest/Huddersfield as a club with an inferiority complex. "We were big once, honest!"
This. And for the same reason I hate the banners for our EC winning goal.

I love them.

It's going to be Emperor's New Clothes again like when they spent ages telling us how fashionable Luke was then loads of gullible Villa fans convinced themselves it was great even though it was a Hearts shirt.

Let it go, CD! 😉

NEVER! 😄

This.

Jesus Christ.

Sometimes I imagine Wes, and Nassef shaking their heads at the ineptitude of the club.

Get it fucking done.

Warrants another star I reckon (winky thing)

I've seen the options. SBJ&tO.

Thoughts on them Dave? Heard lion is blue or claret depending on design

I think they're all varying shades of bad but I'm as far from the target market as it's possible to get. There will be a star, which means our mentality is closer to Huddersfield than Manchester United and the winner will no doubt be highly acclaimed just because.

Well said Dave.

I totally agree. The club will probably already have rejected the best designs produced to get down to the final three and a trained designer will be sitting with his or her head in their hands thinking why do I bother. And if it then goes to fans to choose from those three it will be the nearest option to something we’ve had before that’ll win the vote.
There are very few football club badges that are any good and there’s a reason for that.

This was the project last time.....

Looks like they did the Spurs branding, which in my opinion is easily the best in the Premier League.

Can I just say....I don't mind the star.  I think the achievement it represents is something to be very proud of.

I'm expecting a standalone lion, with Aston Villa and 1874...and - sadly it seems - the star
Without the star I'd be happy with that.

I'm worried some are pushing for a diamond shape (as it looks like AV) which I absolutely hate.

Tottenham badge is awful, IMO. Far too pleased with itself, much like the club.

Sheffield United have the best badge in the English leagues. I'm aware they aren't Premier League any more. Would maybe go for Palace if I had to pick a PL one but not overly keen on any of them.

The recognition of winning a trophy shouldn't be part of what defines our visual identity.

It would be like Coventry having an FA Cup, or blues the auto windscreen trophy.

We've done the EC win justice elsewhere around the club and with the various tribute kits over the years, but it shouldn't be on our badge.

Totally agree.
