Crest Review

Yes but Mr Woodhall does make a valid point. Would the lion get lost?

[cdbearsfan]

Well, it didn't before when he had more or less that badge.

[Three Spires Villa]

Agree the round badge of the 70s / 80s had a claret border and the badge didn’t get lost, so no idea why it would now.

If we're worried about the claret being lost, all we'd have to do is change the shirt back to the lovely shade that LUKE gave us, right CD? 😉

Don't kick a man when he's down. ☹️

[Rory]

Sorry pal.

I would like to see that design with the golden text and two golden circle boundaries.

Yes, you've nailed it Smirker 😉

Smirker, nice one matey!

Does the 1874 look a bit small in that?

I still think a lot of our recent issues as a club can be put down to longer being 'Prepared'

The 1874 in that design should be the same font size as Aston Villa. One of my gripes with the Lerner effort in particular was the inconsistencies with font style and size.

Hate yellow, nothing to do with our colours.

[KRS]

It’s more gold than yellow…and gold with claret does work well. What other colour would you have there for clearly defined design elements on the badge? White?

Agree on gold. The problem is, the Lerner badge went with yellow.

[London Villan]

Gold doesn't work on screen or in print. It ends up yellow.

 I'm a printer, regarding the round badge above, it's not gold. It is really an orange. Which works well in print and on screen. If we're talking gold, then that's really a metallic, which works on a shirt, but is awful on print and screen.  The badge above is fine by me, but as previously mentioned, the date needs to be same font size as Aston Villa and follow the curvature of the circle. I would prefer to see a more detailed lion though. Can someone mock up this round badge with the original lion.

MOMS (David Michael) said that the plan had been to release the two options before the Chelsea game.  He said he told them that with the current atmosphere around the club that may not be a great idea.  Seems like they must have listened to him.

That guy suddenly seems to have become very influential.
