Crest Review

[TheMalandro]

A full rebrand, Cool!

Aston United.

[tomd2103]

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

There's absolutely nothing in that design that resembles Aston Villa for me.  A terrible effort.

Purslow was very divisive but I think he was closer to getting it than Heck.

I had an app a few weeks ago that would create a new branding logo for around £3.50.
I genuinely think it would come up with something better than this

[Richard E]

A full rebrand, Cool!

Aston United.

Or ‘The Villa.’

[Risso]

Purslow was very divisive but I think he was closer to getting it than Heck.

Purslow was a bit of a tit, but he got a lot more right than he got wrong, and at least he was a football man. The Gerrard decision was a big mistake of course, but it was righted quickly enough. I saw a quote from Heck the other day where he said his proudest moment was increasing the value of the NBA team to 2bn. Shades of Tom Fox and fixating on the financial side of things.

[Villan82]

So far Risso, I much prefer the Purslow approach to the Heck one

[Des Little]

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.

I’d like to hear more from BE, please.

I tend more to your arguments here Risso and I'm sceptical of Heck but without going all Roy Keane, that's his job isn't it?

[andyh]

Isn’t the font and colour of that commemorative design significant?
I guess we need it spelt out to us and we’ll all go ahhhhhhh, wow, that makes sense now.

Not everything needs to be shit because we don’t get it immediately.

It's one of his jobs. Somebody should point out then that increasing the attendance by thousands will increase turnover by a lot more over ten years, than it will by not building it. I realise that he doesn't have my red hot ninja accounting skilllllz, but I'd happily send him a spreadsheet with the figures on.

[Drummond]

I think that hints at his style from the States, where teams have multiple logos and designs around a central theme.

We could have differing fonts, crests, etc. Our kits, buildings, merchandise will have differing designs around the central theme.

[Simon Page]

There are disturbing signs of people trying to justify this monstrosity, alongside tallest dwarf praise for the last bloke. Stop both before you find yourself buying a sponsored flag on subscription and boasting about Twitter concurrents.

We're Aston Villa and only the best will do. The best is not Heck, his flouncy cock and ball clip art or Purslow.

If it's the crest, it's a monstrosity. If it's a logo for a hat, then who cares? I think it hints at what's to come but isn't the end product.

[Risso]

The worry for me is that Heck's 'thing' is supposed to be marketing. He's given us the two badge fiasco, and now on his time and under his remit, he's come up with that 150 monstrosity. It makes Lerner's badge look it was designed by Peter Saville. Aren't marketing people supposed to be good at communication as well?
