Club Badge (merged)

The colours and shading. Why the ship has shading to it God only knows as well as pale blue for the 1894. It's as if a child got into it with his markers.

I know people have said it's grown on them but the more I look at it the wanker it is.

Which do people prefer?

Easily the one on the right. I hope the club can just make the simple tweaks of adding 'football club' and adjusting the shield to fit inside. I really do feel those changes reflect the main issues people have with the new design, because other than that it's fine.

No offence mate, but that's a bit like asking someone why the sunset it beautiful. You either can see it or you can't.

not really.... was just asking why you thought that. other posters have answered mate. lots of different opinions, everyone won't always be happy no matter what it looked like

I've seen your designs where you say c is the best and its pretty much the exact same, you've just moved the inner shield a bit and got rid of the rivers. this badge just needs reworking a bit
 
The main problem for me is the childish, cartoony shield. If we can the shield outline used in Gav's examples it'd have been good for me. Just the curvy one on this makes it look like something from Microsoft paint.

i do design and illustration for my degree course and i think it looks good. everyone from designers to posters on here will have different views. Just because some random designer says it doesn't look good doesn't mean its not. imo the same guy that did the new york badge did it it would look a lot more corporate and it wouldn't have the things we wanted.

Fair enough but as I said to SWP in an earlier post today (which he duly ignored as it didn't serve his narrative) I've had the opinion of three professional, mid-to-high level designers and artists and they all said it was poor design (none of them have any interest in City or sport in general, so they do not bring any personal bias or nostalgia). They mostly focused on the execution, rather than the elements, which I think is the reason many dislike it and refer to it as "cartoonish". It won't age well, I am convinced of that, as it already looks dated from the gate. Put beside other badges in world football it looks even worse.

I'll live with it but it is a missed opportunity in my book.
