[sarcasm]After reading that I bow to your superior knowledge and irrefutable proof that it was indeed the work of a Kappa graphic designer as clearly stated in this press release [/sarcasm]

[condescension] The clue is in the detail mate. The press release is from 1997. It says new club motto. Whether it was invented by a Kappa graphic designer, Franny Lee, Alan Ball, Bernard Halford, Frank Sidebottom or the tea lady is pretty irrelevant. It was invented in 1997. Enjoy it while you can mate because despite your one man crusade, it's about to go the same way as your precious eagle :-) [/condescension]
 
"Having followed this thread from the start i would suggest the consensus is breaking down as follows:

Want:
Simple Round Badage.
Crest including the 3 ‘rivers’ and the ship. (drop the M.C.F.C.).
Full club title in the outer circle.
Reference to 1894

People keep mentioning / but no majority support for
ST Marks / Maltese cross
The latin bit
The eagle
The rose
A bee
Three stars
Other weird stuff"

Slightly re-edited for historical accuracy and with graffiti removed

Something like this with 'Manchester City Football Club' in a ring around it;

When I say something instantly recognisable as a city badge you post an image that looks like some kind of biker/prison tat.
I admire your commitment to the bird but I don’t sense many are with you.

Funny then that you posted it in reply to a post of mine about doubting it was made by a Kappa graphic designer then.
 
Matters not what the consensus is on here though. It's about what those filling in the survey are putting.

I think the badge should have the 3 definite things;

1, Old - That represents the past of the club
2, New - With the current trend, what is now in Manchester
3, England - Representing the country we live in, like the Italians do.

I may get mocked for this, but why are the rivers that important to us now? I think they was important but they mean fuck all now. Manchester has so much more about it than three shity rivers.

BTW I can guarantee no mater what the new badge will be, most will hate it.

What element of modern manchester do you want - a hipster with skinny jeans and a beard holding a pint of craft ale?

Why not an aerial outline of the campus + stadium in the backdrop somewhere? Pretty sure they could work it in without over-complicating the badge.

Well it was certainly a Kappa graphic designer who designed the badge. Kappa being an Italian company, I assume they were responsible for the "continental feel" stars. It's not unreasonable to assume they also came up with the latin bit.

But my point wasn't whether the latin came from a Kappa designer or not. My point was that it was invented in 1997. It had absolutely no relevance to Manchester City before that date.

Whether it came from Franny Lee's imagination, or the Kappa designer's imagination, or anyone else's, is largely irrelevant. The issue is that the latin scroll had no connection to the club before 1997.

To be fair mate, theirs is the same as ours, not the other way around. We had this design from the 1930s, if anyone should not have the design it's that tin pot semi pro shower of shite.
