Club Badge (merged)

Most of the things suggest seem pretty sensible to me. You have to remember the Eagle came out of nowhere and was a bit of shock at the time although most fans have got used to it now and it has seen us through the most momentous years of our history.
I would suggest most people want a round badge that covers various elements of our previous badges. I’m optimistic.

I hope you are right I just hated the badge change originally to the present badge as it was so far removed from our previous badges . . . Reading recent press articles regarding the ownership of the badge it may end up just being a vote on the three instead of some silly compromise between a badge we didn't need to have and one we didn't need to lose

Don't like the three stars. Not keen on the eagle either but would love the UAE hawk to be used instead as a tribute to our owner who has given us so much.

as a background with the Latin motto for "pride in battle" on the motto board.
I don't like the red rose as this was a late 60s invention. Manchester coat of arms centerpiece superimposed on the above with a bigger circle of twice the diameter

completley disagree, the uae hawk should have nothing to do with the badge. it should just be about city and represent the whole of our history not just the last few years. what happens if we get another owner from another country should we have there flag on the badge swell ? maybe if the team played in the uae ...

This is the one! Just make the ship black with the St.Marks cross in white on one of the sails and it's perfect.

The only problem with making a ship black with a white cross on it is that it may make it look like a pirate ship...or worse, a ship with a ISIS flag/sail!!

Point taken. Plus, I've since read the replies re: the cross and don't think it's a good idea now as if used in a different colour the badge would look to have a Nazi emblem on.

Here's one that will send the anti-rose mob into overdrive, but how about a wreath of roses underneath/around the bottom half of the shield in the style of Yokohama's badge (more like GeekinGav's CFG take on it). Would make the badge more striking if it works.

Nice to see so much enthusiasm on here for the badge debate but please don't forget to do the official mcfc consultation stuff as well. Remember that colours, shapes and every aspect is worth thinking about - never forget that mufc dropped football club, arsenals cannon turned around and Everton, well Everton messed everything up as far as fans were concerned. This is a great opportunity. Also, don't forget I'm doing some lectures on the badge over the next few weeks. Book on and I'll go through the history of the badges and their elements. There'll also be an opportunity for questions about the badges histories, do if you've wondered about the significance of any element, ownership of rights or whatever then come along and I'll do my best to explain or answer the questions. Cheers
 
I don't like the CFG trim on the circle at all for our badge - it looks like a crap imitation of NYCFC - whereas the old badge is still a circle obviously but looks unique to NYCFC. Should just be a black trim, not black and sky blue or whatever. White circle, black trim.

Gary ... will the talks be video'd or in documentation form afterwards, for those of us that are severly disabled and housebound? would be good to know a few about the symbolism of elements and ho they have been adopted by others in history and modern times can change the perspective of them.

I like that but it'd look better and unique from the NYCFC/Melbourne designs if you did away with the blue outer circle (and maybe the gold inner too). I do think the 3 rivers are a given for the badge as well but I really like the rose design.
