Crest Review

[Dogtanian]

I’m not a graphic designer, but doesn’t the yellow lion serve a purpose?

Isn’t designing a badge using only claret and blue, that is primarily going to appear on backgrounds that are either claret or blue, that still stands out effectively on either colour, pretty hard to pull off?

[Smirker]

Are we all in agreement that these are basically perfect then?





Gold lion gets my vote but it really doesn't matter. These are perfect.

Not if it’s designed well. Looking at our current round badge again, whilst it has issues, it’s miles better than this Heck offering.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Gold for me too. Love it.

these are gorgeous!! love the first one more but that’s probably the nostalgia talking. would’ve been very happy with the second one if they wanted something more fresh.

Risso's hippo is better than this current offering. I can only assume that in his previous marketing jobs Heck was surrounded by very talented people.

not that this makes it much better, but my thinking is if this really is the new badge, maybe the shield will be removed when on the kits?? i can kind of see where they’re going if that’s the case. just the lion and the star with 1874 and aston villa below it, sort of like liverpool do with their shirts. wishful thinking maybe??

Looking at it more closely, that lion is an exact copy/paste job from the Lerner badge. It couldn’t be a cheaper, more amateur looking design if it tried!

Those are brilliant.

Classy.

Same. Either will do for me.

Maybe if enough of us email the club and demand it, then nothing will happen but we'll feel better? 😅

I’m holding out with no real confidence based on what Dave W said. That this wasn’t the badge he was shown. That it could be something different (better hopefully) than this.

[Sexual Ealing]

That is a fucking awful dogs dinner

The lion is way too big for a start, not enough space around it.

Honestly, the current round badge is 10 times as nice.

He’s American everything has to be massive

He's not, he's a fucking midget.

You can’t say midget anymore mate
Small or little people is what’s allowed at the present moment

I have a friend with dwarfism. It's no joke. What with inflation, rent going up and the Tories being pricks, he's struggling to put food on the table.


Re the badge: WHO CARES?!

Gold lion version for me, as well. That is exactly what I want.

Me too.

It’s better than the 99 goals video.

[German James]

Yes, both are great! I'd prefer the claret lion, but the gold one looks fab as well.
