I like them both, but, agree, you can’t have yellow lettering on the blue.

That shield's too stuffy. It looks like a wooden golf trophy. I don't see why there should any yellow on the badge at all.

Perfect ✔️

There's no chance, it is too fussy still, I bet we get something way, way simpler than that.

Crestfallen. It's almost as if creating all those 'what if' mock-ups was a waste of time.

Anyway, let's have some more, since it seems the roundel isn't going be the future.
I've used the old shield with a variety of outlines and fills, on different backgrounds,
home, away etc.
Take your pick.

The top right one in those pictures looks fine for me.  Still not a fan of the star being on there and not sure it even needs 1874 though.

Not a fan of the yellow text outside of the shield / ribbon.

Remove "EST 1874" & replace with "ASTON VILLA FC" in the ribbon & I think that would be the best out of the shield designs so far...

I also think that if we are to use the detailed lion, then the outside yellow piping on the shield probably need some bevels to tie it all together...

If the club insist on using a shield, then this is the perfect shape for it though, no matter what else is placed with it...

Get rid of "Aston Villa"

Get rid of 1874

Put in "Prepared"

Job done! Proper Villa badge!

love that

For me the pre 60s crest is THE Aston Villa crest so I love this or a variation of it. And, it wouldn't ever need changing !

Edit- could Aston Villa go in the ribbon instead of 1874? To avoid lazy comparisons with Everton, how would it look in a 90s/00s type shield?

[Hookeysmith]

That is definately the way forward

That’s very nice. Like that a lot.
