Crest Review

It really isn't.

Just another idea based on that 50's style emblem. Please ignore the janky lines. I found it worked better with a deeper golden yellow, rather than the bright yellow the club use.

Yes, would be more than happy with this effort. There were some sharp ones kicking around the last time we were looking to do this (around 2007). Using a similar shield shape to the current Arsenal/ West Ham ones.

It really isn't.

I agree.

[Weedy]

Old shield, new lion and text echoing the Holte and old Trinity stand, then the same but with round badge:





Round badge version;

I just hope whatever they / we do choose, stays as the badge for many years as it seems like we change our badge design quite regularly. Fwiw, I would welcome the round 80’s badge as my first choice.

This would be great imo. I like it. Can see them going this way.

This has the right proportion of claret and blue and gets my vote.
I grew up with 'Prepared' being our guiding star but am not really bothered about it. Perhaps, on this design, the 'prepared' could be replaced by 'Since 1874' ...

I’m in the ‘stand alone lion with Aston Villa underneath’ camp,
But, I have to admit that would be perfect if it had Aston Villa in the scroll rather than in the crest

this for me is simple and beautiful in equal measure

Just as I had the file open and the bits right there. The 'polo shirt' concern does carry through for me.



I think my main worry is that in trying to make the badge social media friendly, we might end up with something overly simplistic and sad, like that Leeds badge that tried to change to:

Aston above, Villa Below and sgnificantly larger font size and I think the polo shirt concern goes away a fair bit.

[Risso]

Aston above, Villa Below

Don't think much of that as a new motto mate.

[Drummond]

Aston and Villa should not be separated.

We should have something simple that refers back to good times in our history. So either our founding, or the greatest triumph we've had.

The round badge is perfection, my worry is that they'll try and update it and we'll get something corporate.
