There was no need to change the crest when he came in. Can't blame Lerner for wanting a bit of a rebrand...as p_p said earlier it's the colour that detracts from the clear and simple design....a claret lion instead of the yellow one and that crest is absolutely fine.

There was no need to change the crest when he came in. The Ellis-era stripey shield monstrosity needed to go (in my humble opinion) - whenever I see it it reminds me of the frustrations of those years and the mediocrity that Ellis brought to everything he touched.That's exactly how I feel about Lerner's one. But the previous one just says Aston Villa in the Premier League era, to me. It might have been bad under Ellis but Lerner's time nearly killed us.Would you go back to the Ellis era but instead of stripes, a light blue background with claret lion?

To be honest, I'd like something completely different to both of those eras. I'd like something that indicates a fresh new chapter, and hopefully the up and coming badge will do just that.
This seems to be doing the rounds on FB
I don't think it's allowed anyway, is it? I think stars have to be within the badge.
Minimal change to pre-round badge, but something like this perhaps? Colour changed to suit background colour.

The Forest badge (tree) doesn’t have a border which is what I think he meant.

To me their stars are outside the badge, but as the outline isn't as defined as on many crests, you can argue the other way too.
