I like it. It does the job perfectly well. This is always going to split opinion. Hopefully it’s what we use versus a shadow lion which looks awful. But if that’s it, for me job done, can we now move on to more important things.

I like the Lerner detailed lion, so if it becomes that I will be happy enough.  I still find the space between the words not being central really odd and this would have been better a the top of the shield where it wouldn't matter, but I can live with it.

We'll have to live with the star. When we win it again hopefully we can put two above the shield like Forest.

They can make it 3D, even feckin 4D... it will still be the same bloody abysmal mess of a badge.

We can only blame the star on the people that voted for it in the two surveys. The message to the club from the majority of fans was to keep it. 🤯

I’d rather win trophies and simply add to our honours list than unnecessarily incorporate and commemorate them on the badge or shirt.

I think it looks good if it is, in fact, the new badge.

I like both of those.
It’s the details on the lion that make it special

The detail isn’t gonna be on the shirt though.

Yes, but we had all of that before, for use in print. You can’t show all of that detail on a phone app anyway.

It’s rubbish, but we’ve been so beaten down through the process that most people are just happy that it features a lion pointing the right way and the words ‘Aston Villa’. Striking graphic design it isn’t.

"Beaten down" seems a tad OTT!

I would like the Lion to be more friendly.

Not really, it’s OK!

Saw these on reddit.  Dunno how close they are to reality, but ...





I like the gold embossed version but not sure that could be replicated across shirts , merch and logo's etc
