Crest Review

[Risso]

If they were going to be used anywhere by the club, they'd apply on the trademark site to have them trademarked. otherwise anybody could use them to make money.

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

I think these are fan made, unfortunately.

the asymmetrical aston villa at the bottom makes it look very amateur. It would look a thousand times better with the aston villa at the top

[Des Little]

I can't believe that anyone with a brain would put Aston Villa where that is as opposed to across the top, with 1874 underneath the lion.  It defies belief.

Interesting. The lions appear to have come from Shutterstock

Nah, its the other way round.

They took it & placed it on Shutterstock & they just haven't picked up in it.

The good full Lerner lion was created by artist and engraver Christopher Wormell in 2015...

Take out the star and it's an 8.

[Weedy]

What if.
I've done a version based on this coin/badge



I tried different colourways; gold/yellow text - too Burnley; white text - too West Ham.
This version has blue text top and bottom with gold/yellow through the middle for balance.
Nothing radical, modern or fussy - just existing elements arranged slightly differently.




This is how it could look on the various backgrounds, along with just the shield+lion or just the lion for comparison.

[chrisw1]

Sorry Weedy, but you're just making the lion smaller and smaller.  It's a bit daft having a badge within a badge.

[Risso]

Yes sorry Weedy, far too much going on there mate, The lions in just the shield look nice, especially the claret lion, but the circle and all the colours make it look jarring. If it's any consolation, it's better than the Heck effort though.

That's slightly less shite. You can't polish a turd.

The problem with a gold lion it eventually gets reproduced as yellow like the existing badge.
Can we have a claret lion on light blue background and vice versa .
