But facing the other way....
Voilà !

That was the badge I wanted.  But then I'm a middle aged bloke so accept the design isn't really about what I like.

It's very good but a little bit too fussy for me, very close to what I was hoping for though, with just Aston Villa underneath, no motto, no dates, no fucking star.

1874 and the star can go on the collar area on the back of the shirt.  I agree that the lion is a bit too fussy and would prefer a design like the one in the badge below:

Maybe not as he's about to bite a banana, though.

I'm concerned that several media outlets are still using old badge .
This is poor and needs addressing.

Mate, that's exactly what the club have said is going to happen, ie using the old badge on the club website and in the media etc, while they see what the reaction is to the new badge in the coming year. It's why people are a bit annoyed with it. Heck has clearly come in and decided he doesn't like what Purslow delivered so we've got a year of being in limbo while it's looked at.

The challenge is styling it so it can be nobody but us. Look at the Premier League logo,

It's very effective, nearly always makes me want to hum the "Circle of Life".

It's absolutely terrible and embarrassing . Typical Villa , they can't do anything right off the field. Thank god for Unai who's saved us on it

It's not really is it?  We're reviewing what many think isn't a very good choice before spending millions on implementing it.  It would be more embarrassing to spend a fortune on a badge launch and then having to change it again in the next few seasons if the commercial Director doesn't believe it's fit for purpose.  And the vote is irrelevant when it's constructed to only have one possible outcome.

We had a VOTE on the CLUB CREST . Two options , I can't stand Brexit but that's what the thickos of this land wanted, not much I can do about it.  The same should be applied with the crest it was overwhelmingly chosen by the supporters, the result should stand

Absolute fucking nonsense. Have you been to Villa Park? How magnificent it is and how well it’s been kept up however bad our finances had been or performances were. Have you listened, seen or read how others perceive us as a club? How others speak of our history and our place in the game? You don’t have talk some absolute shit. Our badge issue and kit are the most minor of things in the grand scheme of things that will be fixed. Contracts, commitments, and changes in leadership have put that on hold temporarily. But to call us embarrassing and terrible is so very you, and only you. You really do embody the absolute most negative position about us pretty much all time. Rarely are you around when things go well. But the minute something falls short of your lofty expectations you’re on here in a flash. It’s so fucking tiresome that I genuinely wonder why you even bother.

...and then the person who conducted the vote left the club and replacement decided to take a step back, why are you finding this so difficult to understand?

Eh? So because Brexit was voted for by thickos in a shit vote, we should stand by the same system? Does that make us all thickos?

In terms of the ground and bashing etc. If you compare Villa Park to various others of similar history and size, Leeds, Hillsborough, Goodison etc we are miles ahead.

Well if we're going to change the badge again we might as well change the ☆ to a £ after latest ticket price news

Haven't been to Hillborough for years, but the other two are right shitholes. Service at half time is a lot better at Leeds, mind.
