Crest Review

[AV84]

Looks much better balanced without the star.

I still think the twitter rumour that it would be a stand-alone lion is a red herring.  It seemed pretty clear to me from the survey that the club wanted a shield.  I'm still expecting a shield, lion facing left, star, and wording 'Aston Villa' and '1874'

So it's basically going to be what Lerner did except swapping the unique 'prepared' for a foundation year that plenty of clubs have. Yay!

Could you put a simple shield around this one please? Like the shape of the England or Scotland crest?

I think it'd look alright. In my opinion the gold lion does look better and there is plenty of gold around the stadium. But if you lot don't like it I'm not too bothered.

Pretty much but without the text.

What have I missed? Why are we discussing the badge again? The new badge has been with us since the start of the season so has something changed?

[Toronto Villa]

Erm…Because the club has started the process of coming up with a new badge, one that will likely be a new unified badge for next season vs the two we have now.

Other than that though!

Looks like a car marque

Correct, no text for me.

We didn't have the club name until the 70s so it's not a deambreaker for me. Prepared predates it. So if it's tradition people want and what the club want, then why not?



Itd be interesting to see a modern take on the 1920s one. Update to the current lion, no star, no text. Keep the prepared scroll.

Not sold on the shield versions and given our current situation I think "para funus tuum" would be a better club motto.

[Percy McCarthy]

The 1878 one had two stars on it!

Looking at the similarity between the 1975 one and the current one, I have to wonder how much the design agency got paid for 'their' work.
