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.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.

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?I guess it's fine, but let's remember that none of this actually matters.

Because Heck is a Dick.
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.
Exactly. Let’s keep it on thread please. ‘sing when you’re wanking..you only sing when you’re wanking’

You most definitely 100% do.But if you don't care, what is the benefit of telling everybody you don't care & questioning the people that do?

Because the old one represents a period of absolute shite, and this looks exactly the same as it, worse in fact. Because it's really not that hard to come up with something decent, as lots of people on the internet have shown. Because Chris Heck is a twat.

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.

If Villa have not complied with the rules, it’s right that fans should be able to call it out and I’m glad they’ve done so even if it just makes things uncomfortable for Heck.If there were no rules what’s to stop Heck from changing our colours to blue and white for example. I think the Cardiff owner tried to change their colours to red because it was a lucky colour or some such reason which caused a huge uproar.

Lock the thread and someone send this to the club and state this is the version we want.I would imagine that they go to a professional company over copywrite. The two above are great but the club have to have total ownership of the copywrite and not allow a "fan" to own the rights to it

If there are obvious design errors /flaws, or it looks unpolished & unprofessional, then that is a sign that the business as a whole is unpolished & unprofessional.Branding is hugely important in the business world & as much as we hate it in the modern game, ALL football clubs are now businesses.We want & need to position our club as a global leader to attract the best partners & investors. Its not just about Joe Bloggs buying merchandising tat. Although that is a small part of it too...
