Crest Review

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.

Isn't this something the Trust should be getting involved with?

It was the Trust who have contacted the FA

Fucking hell. Some people really need to discover karaoke or masturbation or something.

Seems fair enough to me. If they care enough to go to these meetings, why wouldn't they then get involved if they see the club doing something that the majority of fans don't like, and are in breach of FA rules?

That's good then, thanks for the info.

I'd be keen to try both at the same time

Beat me to it.

Actually that could be a strap line for the the venue.

Not sure about this one. I mean an average song is like three and a half minutes? Impossibly long.

I guess it's fine, but let's remember that none of this actually matters. Telling tales because the institution that YOU (not specifically you, Risso) decided to follow, to imagine is important, has designed a new badge without asking your permission, it all feels a bit silly.

Most people have highlighted the issues surrounding this new debacle.

* Cheap looking yellow on blue.
* 1995 drop shadow because the yellow is shit on blue.
* Incorrect placement of the name ASTON VILLA & 1874.
* Lerners old lion (because it is cheaper to keep this than the new lion as we wont have to change the lion around the training ground, etc).
* Two poor fonts used together.

Just all round piss poor design that takes all the bad parts of Lerners design & fucks them all up even more.

The only positive within it is the fact that we use the full name of our club.

But that is it.

The rest is piss poor.

This is our first introduction to the world when it comes to our branding & we come across as absolute rank amateurs.

So far, Chris Heck has had six months with his feet under the table, & all he appears to be doing is Doug Ellis style scaling back & trying to inflate his own personal "profit numbers" for his CV.

If after those six months of getting to know the club, THIS is what he feels represents Aston Villa Football Club, then he is in the wrong fucking job...

The 90's drop shadow - which doesn't work in the modern digital world - is a nice touch too.

But that's precisely what the new 'asset' rules are there to protect, things like the name, the badge, kit colours etc.

I know, I just don't get why anyone cares enough to be arsed with it all.

Wasn't there a presentation outlining why the Lerner badge needed to be updated? I'm sure it mentioned the lack of contrast in the yellow and blue as an issue...

Can we get back to wanking whilst singing please?

What does it really matter though? Our branding. Nobody is buying our tat or watching our games based on whether a badge is round or a shield or a lion faces this way or that. It's recognisable regardless because we're in the Premier League.

I dont really understand why we changed it to a round badge from Lerner's one, I don't really understand why we're bothering to change it back to broadly the same thing.

People are more likely to buy our tat globally if we're doing well in the league, which we are. So why? If its going to cost £12m to muck about with something that doesn't really impact anything of consequence, then fair enough, stick to the same thing and spend that £12m on Frimpong which makes it more likely that Takami in Tokyo buys our tat instead of somebody else's.
