Quote from: paul_e on December 21, 2023, 02:03:15 PMAston Villa are one of the biggest sports clubs in Europe with a globally recognised brand and the wealth and resources to ensure they are employing (either directly or as consultants) people with the knowledge and experience needed for such a big company. Do you seriously believe no one at any point looked at that and had the same thoughts before it was discussed and they decided to go with it?Blimey, it's not like we've had shit design results before? We've always been one of the biggest clubs in Europe, and we still ended up with Lerner's badge. I'm pretty certain Purslow didn't go down to Erdington T-shirt Printers and Tattoo Studio for the last botched crest re-design, but that still got canned for not being good enough.Whoever was responsible for the AV150 thing should never be allowed near a Mac ever again.

I've just been browsing the online ticket office, and it's shit. Buttons aren't appearing when I select a seat and then it comes up with an error message.That's just one example of the litany of crap I've seen in Villa's online ecosystem over the years, from rubbish design, to the constant inability to stream matches on AVTV (and having to refund me for it on occasion).On that basis, I'm inclined to think Pablo might have a point, and not just because he actually does this shit for a living!
Again, you refuse to accept that it is a choice but look at where they've used it:https://twitter.com/AVFCOfficial/status/1737786479420551519There the crop makes sense.Here - https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2023/december/21/av-150--countdown-to-anniversary-season-begins-/ - they have it rotated and have cropped it another way that still cuts the text.Instagram has the same one as the official site.On linktr.ee they have a very small version of the graphic - https://linktr.ee/avfcofficial - but it's in a circle so you don't even see the bit that you're upset about.Literally the only version that is like that is the one that is in this thread and I can't even find where that's from. So the worst case scenario is that they created a graphic and then in 1 use case it looked a bit off.
Right, in an attempt to inject some joy back into everyone, does anyone know if Spurs pay more in wages than we do?
All I can say is that I've seen dozens of professional designers on Twitter and other places saying how shit it is from a design point of view, so my opinion doesn't come into it.
