Crest Review

[Dogtanian]

Does Unai have to manage everything do we think ??

I don't want him spending time doing an in-depth analysis on every football badge in existence.

[London Villan]

The whole thing could have warranted a press conference - media, podcasters (fanzine editors) fan groups.

Frame it around the launch of the 150th Anniversary - launch the logo with the rationale for it looking like the Hicksville 69er's logo.
Then talk about the future of the ground - what this means for the future - making the right decisions now, so we are here in 150 years.
Then concrete plans about how current supporters' facilities are going to be improved
And take off your kagool

That's what he does on holiday to unwind.

[Bad English]

Have Daesh started up again?

That's what I thought, looks like a Villa themed ISIS flag.

Continuing the ISIS theme, If you turn it 90⁰ clockwise, it looks like a thin penis engaged in sexual intercourse and the male has just had his testicles sliced off.

I am available for focus groups if required.

[SamTheMouse]

It's like a Rorschach test designed to weed out pervs.

[Smirker]

Hmmm

No star 

[Bad English]

Why are there flashing lights outside?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Hmmm

A half arsed, no arse Average White Band.

Hmmm

I know I'm going to be in a minority of one here but I wouldn't be upset if we did end up with something radically different like this.  I like the colours and the lettering style, and it's pretty unique by Premier League standards.  Stick that on a top-notch Nike, Adidas, Puma etc kit and I think it could look class.  I have a feeling the lion and star will appear on the actual new badge, however, so it will be interesting to see if they are configured in this style.

The lettering doesn't even look like AV. It looks like HU.

[Clampy]

At least the letters are the right way round.

[Villan82]

It's actually insultingly bad. 150 years of history and he posts this clip-art shit on twitter with no context. Does he think he is admin of the No Context Brits account or something?

[Clampy]

It is crap. There is a slight retro feel about it but thats about it. Even the V looks like a U.

[Nii Lamptey]

The ONLY acceptable element are the colours. How he or anyone in that marketing team can think that the lettering looks good, or is 'on brand' for Aston Villa Football Club is insane.

Working in videogames, I've worked with a tonne of graphic designers over the years, and I can't believe that any professional designer has come up with this clusterfuck. I'm really fearful for the unveiling of the new crest now after seeing this monstrosity.

[The Moose]

Complete rubbish!
