For me the problem isn’t so much the badge itself (which I do hate but it’s not as big a deal as some other stuff), it’s what the process and outcome say about honesty and competence - which in turn makes me concerned about more important areas.

Sporting success and successful brand identity go hand in hand. I’ve got no idea whether the New York Yankees or Chicago Bulls are any good at the moment, but their merchandise is everywhere. Having a clear, bold visual identity is key. I wrote previously that I haven’t really bought any merchandise since the Lerner crest came in. If I’m like that as an ardent fan, what must the casual fan be like?

Devinyls "Touch Myself" will absolutely be the most requested song at Karachokey.

It's interesting how many people are criticising the quality of the design. Yesterday I had a Twitter argument with a fan who claims to have 'worked at global brand design agencies for over 20 years'He was pretty patronising about how I can't possibly understand how brand equity works (ie why we essentially need to keep the same badge) He also went on to say that whilst the drop shadow was lazy it had clearly been done by a professional and the 'spacing and kerning is done well'Obviously, I told him he was talking shite. In terms of brand consistency, we've had a round badge for a year and frequently use monochrome so the blue and yellow is hardly set in stone. Unfortunately I haven't worked in global brand design agencies for over 20 years, but if I ever need one I won't be giving his a call.
