Final stages of revamping crest…

Recommended Posts

I think it makes sense. The lion looks like a lion instead of Bart Simpson’s ghost. 

The canary is cleaner and overall modernised.

It’s not a drastic overhaul but at least it keeps who we are rather than some overpaid graphic design ****house project.

Yeah, nowt dramatic, the canary has a shorter tail, the lion looks closer to that on the City's crest and looks fiercer, the castle has grown.  The ball still however has no discernible modernity about it. 

I can live with it.

Yeah the actual canary is the worst bit by far IMO.

I was all for updating it, but the canary looks a real mess. Feels like a missed opportunity

Agree. It's the main part but the simplified version just looks a bit cheap.

If a user put that up, most of us would probably laugh.  It's the fact that we have to go with it, that you start accepting it easier I guess.

Just now, cambridgeshire canary said:

It's the lack of a black outline that makes it look.. odd

Well think of the printing and transfer costs they'll be saving, they only need a yellow base layer and whack a green transfer on everything now.  I'd imagine that was a large part of the design brief.

Hmmm. The lion is a lot better. The castle is still a castle.

Not sure about the canary. He looks a bit stern. Cold. He might well be a bit of a c*nt. Probably chin you if you looked at his hen the wrong way.

I just see the premiership lion and think of Barclays when I see it - I don't see "Us" there, which is more important than how it looks, really.

It's hard to describe.

It looks like a fake badge from a dodgy shirt you could pick up on a market for 15 Turkish Lira after bartering.

I normally hate change for change's sake. I suspect I'm not alone looking above. And although my gut reaction is I don't like the lack of outline and the change to the canary, I expected to hate it and I don't. 

Lion and Castle are clearly good. I'm not used to it yet, but I think I'll become fine with it.

pretty inoffensive update... we should have kept the black outline I think.

It looks like it's just a far easier logo for mass production which is one of the things we have to accept if we want to compete on a global level in the top tier.

Really believe this is to cut down costs on producing merch the more I look at it.  It's yelling out for that black border on the outside.

The Original one looks so much better and sharper. The new one looks like someone has had excess Rola Cola when playing with the Magna Doodle and Etch a Sketch. Two years and a consultation wasted.
