A club crest we can all agree on..

[nijinskybell]

I like this one too! Quality.

It's Superbia in Proelio, by the way.

your right ... it looks like an A on the official crest in that daft joined up writing.

cheers for spotting it.

Lose the stars :-)

Fcuk that. Just got them tattoed....!

 

[invisableman]

Can you do one without the eagle and lower the Superbia bit? Reckon that would look good, basically just the old badge but with the new scroll bit on it.

This is almost perfect just need to change the mcfc in the shield to 1894 and make the shield fit within the circle badge rather than overhanging at the bottom, and finally the scroll should be separate a bit lower than the badge excellent design tho

 

[invisableman]

I like this too only I think having Manchester city and mcfc on the badge is too much replace mcfc with 1894

 

[Stuuuuuu]

Yeah but no but, make sure it has the Lancashire rose.

Surely the Manchester Bee, since the city is no longer part of Lancashire? Also, that terrible motto has to go. It must be replaced with something more in touch with the kids if the club is to go forward as tomorrow's leading soccer branding empire. I've put together a quick mock-up. I should stress that this is not the final crest; just a guide to how it will look. This took me about 10 minutes, whereas I will spend up to an hour on the final version.

Your artistic skills might serve you well but if you were ever asked the following questions in a pub quiz you'd be in real trouble:
1) What county do Manchester-born cricketers play for?
2) In what role does the Queen appoint a High Sheriff to the City of Manchester?

was 1894 St Marks/Ardwick FC? shouldnt we have the year when we became Manchester City or 1894 the year the club was born?

Your Lancastrian sensibilities are far too acutely developed.

The world keeps turning. Discard our anachronistic ties, I say. Manchester is our home. Our badge should say nothing more, nothing less.

My understanding is 1894 is the year we became Manchester city fc, pretty sure the cub telephone number now ends in 1894 and that there is a 1894 bar in the stadium

 

[jonmcfc]

quite righr because we were ardwick from 1887-1894

Not wishing to be rude InGavious, but these crests are fucking shit.
What you are doing isn't design, it's like a kid's collage. Anyone can take a 2,3,4,5 pieces of something that exists and cobble it together.

Oh put a sky blue background on it and a drop shadow, people love that... Oh no they don't, it's trying to cover weak design. What you are doing is the equivalent of the Royal Mail changing their name to Insignia. It's pointless and a waste of bastard time.

The one with the scrawly bee is better. At least it shows some creativity. Pack it in you charlatan.

Duh!!! .......... Thanks for pointing out the complete obvious, muppet lol

the point doing this was to show what happens if you took parts of the old badge and the new badge and people still will have problems with it.

It isnt a "design" of mine, it took all of 4 and half minutes to composite the elements of the two. Where ever in the thread, have I said "this is my design, i created this from scratch"? Nowhere.

But yeah, i'll take advice from someone who hasn't put up anything creative himself and is basically a grumpy lil bitch ;)

can't believe people like this!?

i love both the old and the new, but for me that just doesn't work.

Looks too jumbled up.. Too much going on.

We just need to shield from our current crest. A simple shield works for Barca and AC Milan.

yeah i agree. i prefer the old badge, cos its clean and simple, maybe it looked dated at the time, why they changed it maybe, but it's easy to update the old one to look a bit more modern without destroying it.

The current one doesn't quite sit right for me. cant put my finger on it why tho.

I don't like the stars, the eagle or the daft Latin shit. The shield is all I want for our badge. At a push I'd put "1894" where "M.C.F.C" currently is and put "Manchester City F.C." where the daft Latin shit is now.

Anyone fancy doing a mock-up?

I made a crappy paint attempt at that a while ago only utilising the eagle crest version, not the circular one.
