Crest Review

[paul_e]

Just get rid of the twatting star.

It is nice to know other people are as wound up by it as I am.

I had a discussion with a fan once on Twatter and they said regarding the EC win and star "we should embrace it not shy away from it".

Its like banging your head against a wall speaking with some fans.

I'm not as fundamentally opposed to the star as lots of people. But I don't think we've found a way to incorporate it that doesn't look shit, so in my opinion, we should go without.

I'm not opposed to having a star on the badge in general, I am opposed to having it positioned like a toy for the lion to play with, it just looks silly. On the gaslamp one you might be able to save it by making it white or yellow on the round badge I can't see any way to make it look decent.

Keep the Twatting star or, get rid of the Twatting star?  We need a poll.

I'm surprised Clarrie Blue wasn't a suggestion. There were polos about once with him as the crest and they were mint.

How did people react when the 90s 'striped' crest was revealed?

Personally I was a massively pissed off 14 year old, as I hadn't had my Villa sovereign ring 12 months and it was now rendered obsolete.

The Star could be positioned on the Lion's chest, as if it's wearing it as a badge of pride.

... or under his tail like a shiny, silver arsehole.

The star is just so small time though - yes if we (ever) play in Europe again fine to have on the shirt, but to make it an intrinsic part of a badge, that itself is a retro-homage to the late 70s/early 80s is just too much.

I fear this new badge/logo/crest will create as much noise and resentment as the current one does and be changed in 10 years time.

If we go on to win it another two times he would look like he was paying homage to the Northern Soul scene from the 70's.  That would please a few on here.

Can we not just hire German James to sort our badge out?  A hula-hooping hippo with an immaculate arsehole is basically what everyone wants, isn't it?

[Whiney MacWhineface]

Hippo...

A thing of wonder.

I think it's the eyes that get me the most

I’d like to know who these pro-star folk are. I’ve never met one, so I’m intrigued as to where they found them during the focus groups.

Twitter, for one, is full of them.

I personally think we should have a star somewhere on the shirt, but not as part of the badge / crest.

8pm is the deadline for anyone that hasn't voted....

I’m happy for the star to be featured, but only if it’s blue on a blue background
