It feels like this badge saga has been going on for as long as Coronation Street. Sort it out Heck!
We never used to have this fuss - we got a new badge, said it was shite Ellis Out and moved on.
Minimal change to pre-round badge, but something like this perhaps? Colour changed to suit background colour.

I like this (other than the star of course). I think gold on claret looks good. The claret background makes the badge look minimalist, which is closer to the stand-alone lion I was hoping for.But I think 1874 is in there too.
QuoteWe have no specific rules for the use of stars.They do however have a rule regarding the size of the crest, so I would imagine having the star on the outside would mean that the actual crest (circle or shield) would have to smaller & this wouldn't be great from a brand recognition standpoint just so that a star can be added.I imagine that is why it is in the inside of the circle / shield...

The problem with adding 1874 (or other bits) is the lion would need to shrink a bit. I'm keen that the lion is the focus of the crest if we must have a shield, but stand-alone would be my preference. Guess we'll have to wait a little to see where the club takes it.. I do wonder if keeping the same shield /left facing lion / star would be to limit changes (cost!) needed around Villa Park & Bodymoor.
The gold on the claret background looks really classy.

Give him something else to be enraged about aside from being menaced by that star.
