The lamp is a terrible idea. If had always been part of the club's visual identity then I supposed we'd embrace it, but it's just a nice addition to the story and to add it now would be bizarre. It remainds me of a pub getting a revamp and filling its walls with old pictures of spuriously connected local views or people posing in front of horses in a desperate attempt to add heritage. Our heritage is a given: it doesn't that sort of nonsense. I wouldn't mind a stand-alone icon, but a rampant lion is too generic a feature not to be incorporated into some design, which spells out what it's for. It's not even as if its design has been consistant, over the years.
Right now that sort of round badge is easily the most generic option we could choose.

The lamp would be cringe-makingly awful. Disneyfication.
Liverpool and Spurs have great emblems
