Club Badge (merged)

[pudge]

That stitched badge won't be on the shirt. With Nike making the kit it will be on a patch, similar to the shield, and much crisper. More like the picture than hand stitched.

That bage the rose is off centre and the shield touches the 'E'; it's just a fan done one.

Proof - it's nothing like the Blue Peter badge apart from the fact the BP badge consists only of a ship & our super new badge has a ship as part of the whole package.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

and..... we've had the ship on our badge for most of our history. yes there is a ship on the blue peter badge. apart from the colour, shape, size, shading being completely different you have a point.

that looks absolutely nothing like our ship

Again, it's not the fact there is a ship it's how it's presented.

On the current one it's flat, the other two are made to stand out hence the shading. As if they're actually sailing.

I haven't a problem with the symbols used. Personally I just think they could have been incorporated into a better design and presented better. Like the red rose on a two toned blue background doesn't go well imo.

Wow, the new badge looks like a Pirates of the Carribean poster... smh

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Totally agree and so do the majority of people on here.

i think most fans on here like it now. it absolutely shits on the eagle badge aha, its a proper city badge.

You don't like a ship looking like its sailing? What else do ships do. If the rivers part wasn't two tone how would we notice the
rivers? Not taking the mick but don't get what your saying.

The two shades of blue, if one set of lines were blue but the other lines white say, it would add more distinction to both the rose and the rivers imo. Red on blue doesn't go imo and it's on an all blue background.

The current badge's ship is like a picture taken side on if you know what I mean whereas this one is made to look at an angle, like it's popping out. Like the shield. Just my opinion, it's no different to people voicing how perfect it is and the club nailed it. Not everyone was going to or has to like it.

I've clearly voiced my opinion, perhaps too much admittedly so I'll leave it there as on record that I'm not a big fan of it but I'm sure it will grow on me. Especially when I see it officially on a kit.

And your point would be?

The Manchester coat of arms:

From 1842: http://www.bbc.co.uk/manchester/con.../110209_manchester_coat_of_arms_feature.shtml and yes those sails are shaded.

Edit: Hmm, there's a link in there that insists on being invisible, no idea why.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Wasn't there a graphic designer on the Aston Villa forum? The one who told us that it was Mangala rather than Delph? We could contact him and end this debate.

What planet is on the CoA exactly? The one in which the Manchester bees are working.

...Maybe it's a planet in another galaxy represented in foresight. "Manchester, where intergalactic industrialisation started."

Also, when was the last time you saw an antelope and a lion with a small fort on it's head in Manchester?

 

[CitizenTID]

Nike will just do this with the leftover shields btw:

And look two red roses

 

[Brookers]

they removed the FC part because City Group are a world wide brand, consequently everybody knows we are a football club.

When people says things like we are a 'brand' it is a glib, soundbite that they have probably heard elsewhere so feel they can quote the meaningless words also without any real knowledge or understanding of exactly what a 'brand' is.

If City is now a 'brand' then please explain the following:

What is the core product or service of the 'brand'?
What does the 'brand' actually represent or articulate?
How is the removal of the words 'Football Club' relevant to the brand hierarchy?

 

[Achillias]

Concept pictures of the new badge on the new kits. I really hope that Nike use the white logo this time. Navy on blue doesn't look good at all, this looks much better.

could just be a case of dis-associating FC, Football Club and especially MCFC from City, having created Melbourne City and in effect making them MCFC (think this is the catalyst for changing the badge eventually), to rebrand us just as Manchester City.

think having nothing that says its a football badge is a flaw, even having a football in place of the rose is a better option in imo. In 38 years iof life and 30 years supporting City, i've never associated them in Lancashire, even though it was part of the old crest, its something never bothered with.

so personally, i'll be mentally seeing a football instead...

 

[OB1]

so only things we see now can be on the badge ?

Unlesss it is the Invisible Man.

That is the perfect solution to the lack of FC.

 

[stony]

Best I can do on my phone the maroon is a bit too dark though if someone else can adjust it and keep the rose red so it doesn't look yorkshire like

Why has it got four rivers?

Why has it got four rivers?
