Crest Review

[Drummond]

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

Surely it has to be claret on a claret background?

So little AV now 3 years 4 months has been consulted and voted as a ST holder.

Once asked, took 6 seconds to look & point at the round one on my phone. (It seemed more instantaneous but I did video this famous moment for posterity).

Declined to bother to answer, when asked if Daddy should vote for the other one since we have two votes.

What’s better about that one than the other one?
“I like the name. The circle name.”

Anything else you like about it?
“I like the lion and the star and….what’s this bit”
(Founded in 1874).
Enquiry was made about the colour but she promptly lost interest, videos on Mummy’s phone don’t watch themselves. 

Apparently when being picked up from preschool, her little sister (21 months) has been shouting ‘Up the Villa” randomly in the street from her pram. Given we are in Bedfordshire I trust locals are suitably confused.

I went through a phase of the other, hence thinking we vote one of each, but at the death have backed the winner also. It’s not perfect but better than we have now.

Hmmm. I reckon the person who totted up these numbers is the same person who mistyped the duration bit on Emile Heskey's contract when he joined.

77% of fans voted for the round design
23% of fans voted for the gas lamp design
8% voted to keep the current crest

Phew

The crest redesign will now also be factored into an evolution of the rest of our visual identity.

I came to moan about that

I actually like the new lion much better than the old one - claws more visible, meaner, better lines. (though not sure how I feel about the right turn)

I can only assume 2% is spoiled ballots/votes. Maybe
