Did I just describe something as "fab"?

You did, mate!

2024 must be going swimmingly 😂

The lamppost badge is better than the one they've trademarked.

Hopefully it's just a ruse

30 seconds with AI and I've come up with this. I know it's a bit games of thronesish but I prefer them.

Oi!

Yes, not my work that.

Just seen a much better version on X/Twitter. I’ll try upload it here.

And this is what I find most frustrating…if they have their list of design elements (and even if you don’t entirely agree with them) then what kind of fucking idiot would choose to put them in the order they have done so on the trademarked version rather than the eye bleedingly obvious version that someone else has posted on Twitter within a matter of minutes. It doesn’t make sense.

Exactly.  In a few minutes someone on Twitter comes up with something based on the new design, but significantly better with a few obvious tweaks.  Even with a gold lion this would be better than the trade marked efforts. 

I appreciate this is a pointless exercise, but his other versions:

Both great Smirker and we could  use both of course.

I just watched Pete the Canadian Villa fan on Holy Trinity a show which I really like and he's saying what most of us are saying. The badge that's doing the rounds is just terrible and he believes it's not going to be the official one. A new more modern one is about to be showcased. I really hope he's right. This Chris Heck guy is really starting to piss me off.

If they had given two options the one at bottom or the crappy one hecks fed us i think overwhelmingly the top one would win by near enough 100%

Its much better

I reckon if there was a vote the Purslow round badge would beat Heck's by about 75% to 25%.

[Dogtanian]

Well, in the pursuit of more cash, they could always have a horrible badge and charge us £20 more per shirt to have our choice on it.

I am the new Chris Heck.

Agreed, I thought he made some interesting points/ideas about Villa patenting the components rather than the design. Praying that's true because the badge that's in the patent screenshot looks like it's been slapped like a detuned old TV set and the various components landed in a random order.

I've no idea if that's how patenting works but hope springs eternal.

[The Edge]

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.

Those are brilliant.

Classy.

Both of those look great. Personally I'd go for the gold lion but both are 100% better than that poxy 1970's shield badge doing the rounds. And I bet they were knocked up on someone's computer in 10 minutes.
