Crest Review

[Rudy Can't Fail]

We really should have gone with the hippo.

Holding a staff so it doesn't fall over.

For those not on twitter….

This really should have been the answer (without the star).  I'm sure it would have won the vote if the fucking focus group had put it through.

It is, but if we used that the branding agency wouldn't be able to write the bollocks presentation about what it 'means'. "We just saw it on the wall over there" isn't a good way to justify your £500k invoice.

I watched the video, found myself surprisingly impressed with the gas lamp once it was laid out onto the kits etc.

Then the round one came up and it was no contest.

Same.  Either would be fine, even if the gas lamp one is a bit reminiscent of something from that early 2000's video game that didn't have the naming licences and we were West Midlands Village.

That's the one for me too.
Classy, uncluttered, simple and bold.
Love it!

I quite like the lion change of direction . Too long we have looked behind now let’s go forward. While we are at it steal the city’s motto and piss off the bollock badged gremlins and have forward as our motto!

Slightly in minority but I quite liked our current badge but needed to be in claret and blue not Coventry’s colours

The lion would be better smaller.

This was actually one of the last 3 options, but the focus group voted against it.

This is why we shouldn't listen to people.

The new direction of the lion is a complete non-starter for me - it's terrible...and the star needs to go, it looks like the lion is juggling. Don't mind the plain lion and club name on the shirt if the prior two points are corrected, though I would prefer the round crest.

Would love for somebody to collate how many distinct opinions have emerged here and social media since the crest was unveiled and how many separate designs it would equate to.  Just to underline why such things as designers exist.

If we go down the route of Arsenal and Liverpool, then this 3rd option can still be used. It's clearly going to be used on the North Stand and merchandise. So why not use it on the shirts.

[cdbearsfan]

If you use it on stands and merchandise then it doesn't include at least one of our colours. As our colours are great, it's a no from me.

Though I could live with a Black standalone lion on an away/third strip. It shouldn't be on the stands or the website though.

Would love for somebody to collate how many distinct opinions have emerged here and social media since the crest was unveiled and how many separate designs it would equate to. 

And how many of them would have included turning the lion the wrong direction?
