Quote from: The Edge on January 04, 2024, 09:05:05 AMI 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. 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.

I've just had a little mess around with the current badge, flipping the lion, removing the small time star and tweaking the colours to match the Heck AU150 logo (*which was the one single element I DID like about it)....I think it looks classier with the goldish yellow, and the slightly darker, more muted claret and blue. Current badge is a million times better than that trademarked abomination.
Saw this one online earlier and wouldn't be against it tbh:

Can't see them going to that bother if that isn't it. That is genuinely terrible. So Heck our marketing guru cans off the new badge, and then comes up with that? Wow.

This is lovely, probably prefect.

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.

There's an article in the Birmingham Mail about it, says some members of the FAB have contacted the FA about the whole process saying the club didn't comply with the consultation rules enough, the club obviously say they have.
