That lion is clearly drawn by a professional artist, unlike the latest badge - and yes we should definitely use it more.
As for having it as a tattoo, I’d rather tattoo myself onto a lion. Or put lipstick on a pig.

It looks nice there. Whether it's real or not, it's the design that was trademarked, just without the drop shadow, which is the only real issue I'd take with the Heck design. It's also not present in the all claret or all black designs that were trademarked.

- obviously it's gold and not yellow also.

That star though. Like an asterix with nowhere to go

Still too much blue but at least the lion is a gold-plated killing machine now.

Lovely badge. Be good when Emery has got rid of the blue with more stars than an average solar system.

Gold lion because of the 150 year anniversary?

I really like that badge. Gold rather than yellow for the lion, plus the extra detail, makes it. Classy.

In the online world its still a yellow lion and will have the same contrast problems as the lerner one. And none of that detail will be visible.

Exactly. A gold, detailed lion in 3D isn't going to be on ny websites, or indeed the kits in all probability. And if that isn't just just a fan produced or AI construct, why hasn't it been trademarked?

Love the lion on that crest.

The rest though, is still absolutely shit...

Whatever the badge ends up being being, once it is launched I hope that’s the end of it. Change everything to that badge. Around the ground, on the kits, online, on TV, around the world to one primary design and move on. The badge itself might turn out to be fine. Not for everyone but that was practically impossible. But the process itself has been a drawn out disaster.
