Crest Review

I suspect if he likes his simple, recognisable branding, we'll probably end up with something like this over the next year or two.  And I say that at someone who really likes the round retro badge, and who hoped it would be ours for a while.

Not blaming you, but that looks absolutely terrible especially with the sponsor's logo in the mix as well.

I think that's exactly what we need....and a design I really like....simple, clear, instantly recognisable. But then, I am an old fart who knows nuffink!
Sponsors' logos will change, regardless!

I'm with you, and would really like to have just a stand-alone lion.

No idea how anyone who supports the club could see our lion and think it looks "absolutely terrible".

That’s very similar to what we’ve had on the training gear for the past couple of years, a single coloured silhouette.

Without anything surrounding it, it's just a rampant lion. A generic symbol for loads of brands.

This might be of interest

Very simply, because it doesn't look good at all in the picture above whereas the photos posted of the round badge on the new shirt look great.

However, I understand that not everyone will agree with me and the other 75-80% of Villa fans on here that prefer the round badge, just as I understand that sadly there will always be people that think it's acceptable to leave the house with a mullet and wearing joggers, white socks and crocs.

I thought I cut rather a dash.

'AVFC' on the badge can get in the sea. Not for me, Clive.

A rehash of some of last year's efforts:

The Lion looks like he’s got the car window open.

As an aside, I found this lot. At least their lion is facing the right fucking way!

If we go down the US style

I quite like that.

Yeah, something like that but without so much fuss on the face and a full rampant version as well.

As someone said a rampant lion isn't uniquely ours so I think they'll be looking at ways to create something familiar but different enough to be special. The Premier League have already done a good job of something similar and created an image that is instantly recognisable:





I think we'll be looking to achieve the same thing and designs like the 2 PWS has shared, whilst not perfect, are going in the right direction towards what I think we'll get. What the premier league one really does though is show that we'll probably need to flip him back to facing the other way again.
