Crest Review

[Steve67]

It's looks great, shame it's only being use on kits and this (as was already produced) instead Mr heck will come up with some daft idea for a third badge. Absolutely ridiculous. Get rid of that pathetic shield now!

It's a shame those at fan meetings seem overwhelmed and never really ask the questions of the supporters

Yes, because those people who attend those meetings, in their own time, aren’t really fans are they? They are just pretend Villans.  You’ve never been to one have you? The way they are staged etc makes it very difficult to ask some of the meatier questions, but hey, you’re an expert on all matters.

That is nice.

[London Villan]

It's perfectly acceptable, not perfect, but miles better than what we have now.

The new one better be a million times better than this. That's a big ask.

That looks great.

It shows that it can be reduced in size & used in a different medium too.

That bottle and badge seem to me to be the first time the club has sent anything worthwhile to claret members.  Maybe they ordered a load and now only have a short window to get rid of them!

[Paul.S]

Amazes me how members get this and us morons paying silly money get sod all

I’d definitely bring that up at the next meeting if I was you.

There will be loads of stuff they have already ordered. Lots of bargains to be had.

I like the lion on the badge, for me, it's better than the slightly fussy version on the card behind it.

Absolutely fantastic badge, looks sharp, you can make it out clearly . Shame the new chap wants to scrap it. Just when I thought we were heading in the right direction.

Nice bit of merch that...

Made good use of my Season Ticket gift of the Villa Park key ring last season on my shed key. Hopefully something similar with the round badge this season.

On a separate note, what's the general feeling on here about the whole 'Part of the Pride' marketing spiel? Personally, I think it's a bit tacky - Takes a while for people to put the whole 'pride in the club/pride of lions thing' together.

Considering we have a lion on our crest, I don't ever really think of us as lions apart from maybe the 'fight like lions' quote. I associate us more as Villans - Bugger all to do with prides.

I personally find it tacky. Its pure marketing language. Almost as cringe as that Tiger thing that Hull did a while back. Kids might like it though, & tbf, its probably aimed towards them.

'Villans' is marketing bollocks. It was rarely, if ever, used until recently.

[Bad English]

I still prefer badge to crest.

Yes. very nice badge. I like the fact that it's not painted claret and blue.
