Keep it simple. The badge on the top of the Holte or the one we won the European Cup in. Let’s not overthink this. Star or no star nobody can take away that we won the greatest club trophy in Europe.

Remove 1874 and Football Club. Sharpen the lions claws. Put the star underneath the circle.

Yes, remove the year. We don’t need to prove our place in football history, we’re the Villa. The lion needs to look aggressive.

I don't like the 1874 and Football Club bits on there and I'd move (or remove) the star and give the lions some claws but it's going in the right direction.

Nah, blue background claret lion is the correct answer.

Put the star above the badge where it belongs.

I like the blue hula-hoop.

I don't think we're allowed to, which is why Randy incorporated it in the badge.

The star could always be incorporated into the hippo’s backside.

Just do it anyway. I'd rather have no badge than the burped badge, though, if those were the only options.

Not even sure why its a discussion. Bring back the round badge from 1982, done.

... because not everyone agrees with you? I'm all for using that as the basis for a new badge but completely unchanged it is very much of it's time and looks dated.

I actually think that's quite impressive and gives an idea of what the stand alone lion could look lie too.

I like the 1874 reference, but in this case it probably makes the badge look a bit busy.

I'd like to see a mock up of just the stand alone lion with Aston Villa above, another version with Aston Villa below and maybe a third with Aston Villa above and 1874 below
