Crest Review

[Bad English]

How very French to have a badge with a big cock on it.

Legendary French comedian Coluche famously quipped:

Do you know why the French chose the cockerel is the national emblem of France?

Because it's the only bird that manages to sing with its feet deep in shit!

Obviously it's a rough draft but I propose something along the lines of this:

Also, across the back, below the number like they have in some leagues we should have "LOLURFNRLD!!!!"

I'm bored and I've just been working on a whitepaper about AI which got me thinking about trying to create the sort of thing I'd like us to go with on dall-e.

After generated about 40-50 images I've found a few I like but oddly lionhead ones were much more common than full lion rampant unless it went really over the top with the heraldry aspects.












None of them are exactly what I'd like to see but it kept me busy for half an hour between meetings. 3rd one is probably my favourite.

The third one looks like some cruel circus shit where they've put a lion in a zorba ball

[Sexual Ealing]

I still think the Punjabi Villans one is the badge for us.

'Funeralled' could go underneath it where we used to have 'Prepared'.

It will be interesting to see what they do for the 2024 Euro kit. I do realise this is a Villa badge thread so I will totally refrain from posting stuff about France. Ahem.

No, I think that latest one is a perfect example of what a great badge can be.  And decent placement of the stars.

I reckon the two different logos thing (in the sense of variations of A logo, not like we have now, which is a sort of managerial clusterfuck) as per the French national team is the way we'll go.

I would be truly gutted if we ended up with a version of that modern French badge inside a 'gaslamp' shield.

The last two look like Fabio.

I like that one, without the circle.

[chrisw1]

I dislike them all and strongly hope AI isn't involved with designing our new badge.

Some sort of intelligence would make a change though.

Very true.

Yep, and the weird bit under the tail.

[chrisw1]

It's just not very fierce though is it?  Nor is it standing upright enough.

The head in the circle above is closer to the mark in terms of fierceness.  I imagine if they calmed down the mane a bit and made a full lion it would be more workable.

Yeah sorry Paul, not trying to diss your fine effort just first impressions and all that, this is what Chris will be all over.

'Cruel Circus' is more that lot down the road.
