If you have the new crest as AV with the A above the V so they make a diamond shape, it also makes a 'gas lamp' shape.
We need "Aston" and "Villa" in the badge, as well as the lion. I'd be more than happy if that was it.

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

After a quick google, the Villa 'Villan' goes back to 1905 though the term is said to go back further to 1879. I still have an early 70s Villa half pint jug with the Villan on the back but from memory the Villan disappeared in the 70s.As for his recent marketing appearance this is from the OS:'Villa's merchandising department, after a host of fan requests, have also restored the 'Villa Villan' into the claret and blue consciousness.'
