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. My daughter was walking past and I asked her what she thought it said. She shrugged and said HU something with some sort of lorry design underneath. It's a mess.
So, one of you is looking at it from a graphics design point of view and the other is looking at it from a web layout point of view?No wonder you don't agree and probably never will!

My daughter was walking past and I asked her what she thought it said. She shrugged and said HU something with some sort of lorry design underneath. It's a mess.That's still personal opinions, not them breaking fundamentals of design.Let me explain the problem pablo has.The image posted on here is not a graphic at all but rather a screenshot of an app/website using the graphic as part of the page. there are 3 elements on the page, the lion, the anniversary graphic and a countdown widget.What they've then done is colour matched the background to the claret in the graphic, which makes it look seemless but does mean the text on the sides is cut. This will have been a choice they've made because none of the alternatives are that much better.For me this is the most sensible thing to do because if this is, as I expect, an image from a phone app then by having only verticle 'splits' you reduce how much impact differences in screen size and resolution have on how it looks.The alternatives would be to split it into more of less 'parts' but both come with issues.Splitting it into more parts would means taking the text on the sides and making those separate elements pinned to the left and right edges of the 'screen'. The problem here is you lose control of how much space there is between those and the central elements and more importantly you create a risk of clashes with the countdown widget.Going less means you put the lion into the image and let the text run all the way to the top but does nothing about the clashes with the countdown widget/cut off at the bottom.A si say they've chosen to go with it this way because there's no simple solution here so the easiest option is to reuse the same graphic that is posted on twitter and accept it looks a bit janky.
My job is boring too.

Maybe we should just be grateful.
Sorry to go off topic slightly, but I get posts appear on Facebook off some 'football memories" group and today was the below one of Bruce Rioch (which I found later online):https://www.google.co.uk/search?sca_esv=592965078&sxsrf=AM9HkKkaGuvgmcG6LJybPdiy0YDiaA_kiA:1703205065196&q=bruce+rioch+aston+villa&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjizo-n5aGDAxX1TEEAHWxaD_YQ0pQJegQICBAB&biw=384&bih=700&dpr=2.81#imgrc=7HGxQoxd-MkopMI've never seen a picture of that yellow kit with that badge before, only with the lion with AV underneath. When was it from and was it a third kit? Really like it though!!

Really like it though!!That badge (I think) was first used in 1973-74 so it was one of the rare occasions when we played in the change kit that season before the King was sold.
