My Gas lamp was my attempt using the lamp from the 140 years logo/badge:





Just for fun...




Could we have one of a lion with Tyrone's head wiping its arse on whatever the Man City crest is - a £ sign on the moon or what have you?

I thought the other day that I'd give it five years before SHA redesign their crest and try to incorporate Bully the Bull from the Commonwealth Games. Bully, drinking in a pub up town, with a star for each year they've played in the top division (so about 15?)

Accidentally caught something online about them 'celebrating 40 years of the zulus' the other weekend.  Some of the stuff they were coming out with was beyond belief really.

I can't remember which title it was but an old Villa history book had "From Gaslight to Glory" as one of its chapter titles which has always stuck in my head for some reason.

The Aston Villa Story, I remember that one too. We had a copy signed by Brian Little.

If we go for the lantern idea, we may as well develop the gas theme further by featuring to the claret & blue gas holders on Windsor Street

There's not one of us that hasn't been gaslit by the Villa over the years. Most years, in fact.

Anyone get the feeling that the end result will look like the car that Homer Simpson designed?
I doubt it'll be that good.

It's going to be the badge equivalent of the car Homer Simpson designed isn't it?

Think I'd rather have Homer at the wheel than Purslow.

Rather we spent money on a better manager than a badge.

To be fair, I believe that in a 22 team division of who's been in the top division longest, they'd be filling a relegation place. Unlike Leeds, who'd be firmly in division 2

Don't ruin things. Up to age 11, I thought they were a basketball team, and I was happier for it.

Oh no. Did it turn out that they beat Michael Caine?
