As someone who has been at all three of the consultations so far and seen the final three designs, a couple of things that I think need to be cleared up.Firstly, the lion is reversed in all three. This is a throwback to our first ever crest and also "indicative of a new, forward facing club".The "gaslamp" design is really tenuously a gaslamp. It's essentially a hexagon with a new font for "Aston Villa". Seemed popular in my group but personally thought it was trashy. The circular crest is a nicely done but not exactly original or even an improvement on the "classic" 1982 design.When it gets put the wider fan vote, thst will be the winner and the new club crest.
Marc Bolan was the passenger.[Insert obvious line]No, that was Iggy Pop[/insert obvious line]
In heraldry, the lion facing the opposite direction to the current IS looking backwards…
I'm not fussed which way the lion faces, having a badge that isn't a kids drawing by a chairman having a breakdown will be nice. The current badge just reminds me too much of Lambert, Sherwood, Delph and other varieties of useless wankers and charlatans.
When is the new badge actually coming out then?
The yellow is the worst part of the current badge. Even if it was golden it might not be too bad but why the heck they didn't go for claret lion on that blue background is beyond me
