Quote from: Si on December 21, 2023, 11:44:09 AMThere's a serious lack of sky blue in the latest images.There is a straight line top & bottom where "The VILLA" text has been cropped. And it's not a stylised crop for composition. It's just a piss poor crop because the text does not fit that space.Just make the fucking text slightly smaller & will have no need to crop.Jebus Christ, I learned that sort of shit when I was taking my art GCSE...As a side note, they are using the standalone lion silhouette again. It's the Lerner sketch lion, which is amazing in the sketch, but feels very odd in silhouette form.The new circle lion is much stronger in silhouette.Sadly, I feel that they are going to go with the Lerner sketch lion as a standalone silhouette because it's the cheapest option for switching things around stadium, training ground, etc.Im starting to feel that Heck is Ellis reincarnated...

Can't see what pablo has said that's wrong there, personally.

You've decided you don't like Heck and are making up things to be upset about at this point.

Principles I have had to follow my whole career as a graphic designer.There are times you can break those rules, but here is not one of them...Quote from: paul_e on December 21, 2023, 12:35:29 PMQuote from: Risso on December 21, 2023, 12:22:48 PMCan't see what pablo has said that's wrong there, personally.So you think how that looks is incompetence rather than a choice?Please explain to me where the choice is?
Some people are just going to get angry or lose their minds whatever the club does on this. It won’t be enough or is too much of something. I’m sure if Heck had an idea to have a game with a star design on the pitch he’d be criticized for it. I get he probably hasn’t done the best job in his communication. There is certainly room for improvement there. But he’s not here to destroy the club with the way he plans to present us for this event or in the future. I’m just waiting for the official plans to be announced and someone suggests or calls him a Nose agent. This is important. Not downplaying it, but whatever the commemoration and celebrations are it doesn’t change who and what we are as a club. We will still be Aston Villa.
That’s a special type of misery when even the fonts and colours are criticized, I imagine that is the type of miserable **** that manages to suck the oxygen out of every room they walk in.
