My understanding of Cityzens when it was launched was there was a blue card form of Cityzens for people who can buy tickets and a global Cityzens who can build points by other means to take part in the competitions etc. I don't view global Cityzens views regarding the club badge as equal to blue card Cityzens no - you have to generalise which is unfortunate but with the growth of the fan base in recent years, a vast number of these global Cityzens will not know of the club's history and won't have a clue about Manchester and probably aren't arsed if Manchester is represented in the badge. The club would effectively be asking people from Malaysia etc. etc. what symbols they best feel represent Manchester which is absurd. This is all a bit hypocritical of course since they let all us vote for NYCFCs.They can email Cityzens with a heavily blurred version can Cityzens get the jist of it. the Rags don't care and to say all Cityzens aren't equal is bollox.

Had an e-mail inviting me to a new badge preview in City Square on the 26/12 between 1:00pm and 2:30pm.
It is a Citizens exclusive, and they claim it is "Modern, Original, Manchester City".
Point still stands really as skews the results but like I edited, hypocritical as we all voted on NYCFC's.I understand where you are coming from, but there was a thing in the press recently that said 75% of "Cityzens" are season ticket holders.
I don't really get the point of them doing it at City Sq. really. If you want to see it as soon as it's revealed to any fans, maybe email them and see if they can send you something when they open it up at City Sq.yeah but to showing the final thing? selective showing to those that make it to the stadium is just wrong. Cityzens is meant to be City fans as one. old and new isnt the point. international or local isnt the point. I'm 38, from Stalybridge supported City 30 years. The Eithad is 11 miles away, yet I cant get past my front door. Am I less of a Cityzen?

That was going really well until the last bit. We are and will always be a football club, the rags dropped that years ago and still get stick for being a PLC rather than fc.
Voting on the city of NY's symbolism is the point. They had about 20,000-30,000 founding members I think, so there were enough of them with an interest from the start.Which was a completely new club with no fans

What's this in reference to?Why are the club obsessed with using yellow, rather than maroon, as our tertiary colour?
Me neither. Spelling it like that just undermines our actual nickname as well, as global fans will refer to us in writing like that if they don't understand the english language.To be honest mate, I don't really think the "Cityzens" thing has worked. 10 years ago the vote would have been season ticket holders only, because there was no such thing as "Cityzens".
Since Ferran came on board, he's tried to replicate everything about Barca to City. Some of it, like the CFA has been great. But the "Cityzens" idea is trying to replicate the Socios model in Barca. They are the people who actually own the club and decide on the President, and essentially pick who runs the club. "Cityzens" get to vote on whether a rose appears on the new badge, but have no say on a final design. That's down to the genius' who signed off the Melbourne and Cityzens logo's.
So no FC or Football Club
Interesting
So how will that work?
Manchester up top and City at the bottom?
Or Manchester City up top and 1894 on the bottom
Given MCRJON posted this thread in July, and specifically stated a round badge, I imagine the club did already know what direction they wanted to go.if thats the case and there is no football club on the badge then they haven't listened to the fans and imo created the badge ages ago. worried its going to look shit now.

Might be the yellow (gold?) that the ship has always been if your talking about the badge.
