Crest Review

The lion only looks truly fierce if it has its tongue out.

Yep, and with claws -  and all detached from the lion’s body.

I drew that lion so many times on school desks and books when I was a kid that I reckon I could do it blindfolded

Love the 57 style shield design from few pages back. Thought I'd have a go on publisher, so not very good. Not sure the lion would work on the shirt though.

I like the round one.  With the motto "Do you want to bet against us?" In German,  around it.

Wollen Sie gegen uns wetten?

I don't see how it will look any more like a polo shirt than Liverpool or Spurs shirts do, which is not at all.

I really like the lone lion, and it goes way back to when we had a black shirt with a big, red lion on it

I think the lone lion is damn smart. I also don't mind, like Liverpool, having a crest but also doing what they do with the liver bird.

For the shirts I'm definitely in the stand alone lion camp (with the name)

I thought for the crest I'd be all over the round badge, but I do like this a lot more than I thought I would:

Yeah, I'd be happy with a standalone lion on the shirt, with the 50s style badge being used elsewhere -- as long as the lion looked as fierce as this fella:

Think if we're going for a standalone lion - and I'd be completely in favour of that - we have to go to town on it.  Make it look like it's about to ravage someone.

Just remembered I nicked this off someone from Twitter quite some time ago.  He'd redesigned all PL club badges I seem to recall

[Drummond]

I like that, though I'd lose the star as it doesn't work, and contemplate removing the 1874. Or....  put the star where the 74 is and moved the 74 to be with the 18.

I mainly posted it for the Lion design.  The font is a bit busy, but I thought it was a good effort at the time, particularly as I don't think it was from a Villa fan.

It is, but it harks back to a 'Proud History'......

I'd be quite happy if we ended up with that.  On the kit, I'd just have that lion on it (in claret / blue / yellow as appropriate) with 'Aston Villa' above.

Personally I like the font.  Has a certain 1910s/1920s look about it.

Just wondering if the new crest/badge will be designed with Las Vegas Villans in mind?
