alex_ncfc 644 Posted June 15, 2022 I'm guessing they will be changing the style of the signage on the City Stand too then. Also do we get to put our font in the trophy cabinet as a club honour like the Binners? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's the main reason we have invested so heavily in updating Colney in recent years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feedthewolf 4,844 Posted June 15, 2022 As well as the accessibility issues and the old font looking hopelessly out of date in 2022, the other issue is that the legacy font isn't copyrighted by the club. It's called Dauphin and is freely usable by everyone and anyone. Whatever the new font is, it will have been specifically created for the club and thus their copyright and theirs alone. It's very common in business to take an existing font and then make small changes to it to personalise it for a business/brand. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its a hell of a lot of signage though, I'm assuming it includes the badge on the colney building, the badge above the city stand directors entrance, the badge on the wrought iron gate at Carrow Road, the badge on the similar iron gate at Colney etc? Think there is a huge one inside the indoor training pitch also. Its quite a big undertaking to correctly implement a full rebrand? Still. its done now, oh well. Just think these things cost a lot more than some are crediting. Edited June 15, 2022 by TeemuVanBasten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But you appreciate the difference between a stadium and a football club, right? The stadium has it's own thing going on outside of football, and itself is a source of income. It's only the right thing to put that money into the branding and giving the place a facelift so it advances as an attractive venue. Probably cost us less than loaning one of Kabak's legs for the season, and unlike him will be here for years to come. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably slightly less, I reckon Soccerbot wasn't much more than a couple of weeks wages though, if that. Certainly on the lower end if we were still in the Prem.
