Club Badge (merged)

I believe that your first sentence is developing into the consensus. The #2 blue version is certainly growing on me. Not sure we need nor can accommodate the '1894' but it would be of historical value if the bees were found a place.

At the end of all this I hope there will be two or three choices to vote for.

Totally agree with this.

Lots of people have an idea in their head about what they want included in the badge, but when they actually see it on screen in a design, their opinion changes.

That's why a vote on a final design is essential.

I voted for a bee to be included, but when I've seen it in a design, it just doesn't work. I'd be more than happy to sacrifice the bee in order to have a design that works.

Many have voted for roses, crosses, dates, rivers, ships whatever. All sound like good ideas and are easy to vote for in a questionnaire, but when people see them all lumped together in a final design, they're not so keen.

As others have said, there's a huge consensus for the roundel, inner shield, ship, 3 river sheild, and Manchester City Football Club around the circle. I'm confident this would win any vote among season ticket holders / "Cityzens" for this core design.

But then it's a choice of colour. Some like red / maroon and gold shield, others prefer sky blue and white. Again, to make an informed decision people need to see mocked up versions on the shirt and on different colour backgrounds.

City have got a really unique opportunity here to let the fans decide on the clubs badge for the next 50 years. I hope they allow us to choose a final design we like, as opposed to just choosing a load of symbols we like and ending up with a final design that we don't.

That's a very well written point of view. Well done. I agree.

I think these aspects have to be a given

You have a few rose enthusiasts but it doesn't relate to Manchester anymore so has to be discarded IMO

I don't think anyone who has been a City fan for more than a decade will argue the toss about the above

Like you say..the crux is the colours

I like that too. The gold really stands out. :-)[/QUOTE]

I think this is pretty close to where we'll end up.The club WON'T drop the eagle. They will look to blend the present with our history.

I would like to see maybe a maroon border similar to the orange used by NYC, the stripes must be in red and gold, 1894, Manchester City Football Club in same size font in sky blue with a white/navy blue background. Job done.
 
Reworked Man City crest - colours


This is an image I found its obviously about 3 years old, but I think it's modern simple and yet contains great city images

I'm sorry but that's fucking hideous

The wings are just sitting there for a reason which is beyond me and it still has the stars which 99.99 blues will be glad to see the back of

Thanks Pell.

I agree Bish, this core design is overwhelmingly the most popular. There's one or two who want to keep the stars and the eagle, but among Seasoncard holders I'm sure they will be out voted by a landslide.

Someone has added the formation date here and I don't mind that. I'm definitely leaning towards this colour scheme as well.

I realise this is blatant IP theft, but I reckon if we were going for something round with an eagle, this takes some beating:

Colour it Gold, Slap a shield on top with the ship and three stripes

Im hoping no one has beaten me to the punch but hands up who really liked the old round badge and wishes it would come back to replace the Kappa designed one?

Imagine. I had a dream. In it I was at the upcoming Liverpool game. Everyone in the crowd was holding up
cards with pictures of the old badge on and singing this ditty to the tune of "What the world needs now is love,sweet love"
"What the club needs now is the ship and rose
It`s the only thing that there`s just too little of
What the club needs now is the ship and rose
Not just for you `n`me but for everyone"
Yes, I had a dream and it was beautiful.
Some might say I`m a dreamer but I`m not the only one.
 
I would definitely like to keep the Eagle somehow. I share a lot more recent history with the current badge that would be a shame to let go. The 99 play off final, move to the new ground, premier league wins including our first trophy in decades, all history that when im old and grey, I will look back on fondly. I would hate to look back on those times and see a badge that bears no relation to this period.

To be honest I think this forum is dominated by the older generation who hark back to Lee bell and summerbee, but there are hundreds of thousands of supporters globally that don't share the same attachment to that period in our history. This is like Labour who thought they had the election in the bag but all they were doing were talking to people like themselves who shared the same view so they got a distorted view of what was really going on amongst the electorate.

Keep the Eagle!!
