Crest Review

[paul_e]

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.

As I said, they're not exact, I was just messing about with it. I think that one is the right style for me though. A few tweaks and I think you'd have something that is both a recognisable lion rampant but also is unique enough to be ours and become an identifiable brand. That's not easy to do with a lion given how common they are.

I get where you're coming from Paul, but for me I prefer the traditional lion to the more abstract.  I hope we stick with something similar to what we see on the blazers, but I guess we'll see soon enough.

As soon as I saw the French badge, I was reminded of Bradford City

There's is a bantam, cock.

They made the right choice, but then the fans probably voted for the one they liked rather than worrying which one looked best on TikTok.

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.







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.

I like those two
Certainly different

Thundercats, like it.

Can we get some sort of commercial tie in with Cheetara's insta feed?

Whoops, wrong thread.

Rumblings on twitter.. lion, no circle or shield, Aston Villa and 1874 with the star.

Shame about the star but otherwise that's what I hoped for.

[Des Little]

But which way will the lion be facing?  That's the big question

Sounds thrilling.

I bet that's exactly what we get, too.

If they're going to change it that radically from Lerner's crayon drawing, there's no excuse for not sticking with the present one.

[The Moose]

Except the lion faces the wrong way....

[VILLA MOLE]

The whole lion or just his head ?

I don't see what correlation you're drawing here?

They obviously don't think the round badge is right for various reasons discussed at length on this thread.  What has a significant change from the Lerner badge got to do with keeping / not keeping the round badge?
