Vote for the Crest

[CT Villan]

Examples...

[Nelly]

Respectfully, neither for me. It's a nice, safe badge. But Villa should be iconic and unique.

I don’t think this is about the way the lion faces, I think it’s about a round badge being dated.

I hope they go for a stand alone lion.

Yeah, I don't give a shit which way it faces.

[Brazilian Villain]

Voted right facing (as it's already on the shirt) but any of the four round options i.e. left/right facing, with/without the star would be fine by me.

[Des Little]

Left (classic) facing stand-alone lion is my vote. Big no to a round badge.

[The Man With A Stick]

Genuinely don't care which way it's facing, just get rid of the Lerner AVFC nonsense.

[Ian.]

I do like the new one but I do agree a stand alone version would have been great, also not bothered which way the lion faces either.

[Smirker]

Examples...

First one. If the 1884 was removed and replaced with Prepared it'd be pretty much perfect for me.

Or, the 1956 one as it was.

Or, a standalone lion.

I am fine with any of these.

Those are in order though.

[Villan82]

First one but happy with anything that isn't the Lerner badge.

Also, surprised to hear all the talk about 'should have been a stand alone lion and Aston Villa'. I distinctly remember one of the positive points about the one approved last November was that it was part of a suite that included the option of being used as a stand-alone lion and it looked brilliant in that form?

Examples...

This one is my favourite version of that badge.

I've no particularly strong views on the matter, but I think it looks far neater with no star, and the badge feels more balanced - to me - with the lion facing left.

I personally like the 1874 at the bottom. If they wanted to put a star on the badge, I'd put it there though in place of the date. Though personally I don't think we need a star on the badge at all, since it'll mean updating the badge every season when Emery really gets in to the swing of things.

Exactly this

[darren woolley]

I voted facing left classic.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

First one, 1874 could be moved to 3 and 9 o'clock with Prepared added at the bottom. Really don't like the font, it's too weak. Needs to be more bold, embroidered, not some nameless computer font.

The right facing lion looks so wrong, like something Randy would do on Photoshop. I'm delighted Heck has called a stop to this school project.

Then it really would look exactly like all the others posted above.
