Manchester rugby team use this badge so why can`t we


Also got that tattooed on my forearm after Fa final

City have never used that version of the coat of arms. That is the colour version of the council's coa.

City have always used the version without the knights helmet and strange flowy thing coming off it:

 

[SWP's back]

im sorry but thats just realy shit


we should go back to the 70's crest

Yeah. Progress

 

[Deleted member 14625]

Yes, love it!

 

[1970IrlamBlue]

Yes, love it!

Definitely prefer the round badge without the 3 stars - so the one of the left get's my vote - do really like the current badge if too much.

 

[The Pink Panther]

The current badge without

The eagle
The Latin
The three stars

I want

Shield
Ship
Three stripes
MCFC

Failing that, perhaps a badge like this and underneath 20 trillion on a banner

$20,000,000,000,000,000,000

The current badge was brought in, so they said, to herald a new era for the club, one to replace the Swales Era, in which the original crest is often associated.

We all feel the club is entering another new era and the above badge would easily get my vote if by some miracle the club did decide on a new crest to promote their "brand" whilst keeping together the heritage of both old era's combined in a fresh and smart looking club crest.

It combines the old and the current, while looking progressive. I'm actually now genuinely hoping someone at the club sees this design, thinks along the same lines and puts it to the fans whether or not they'd be happy with a crest change and this design was one of the options.

NB: InGavious, by any chance could you do a quick mockup of what this crest would look like in place of the current one on this seasons home shirt?

I agree. InGavious, you should email City with a little message along the lines of what Mëtal Bikër has said here. I'm really impressed with this. It has the best elements of our old and new, and is modern looking.

Laughed out loud at that. Self-deprecating City.

I found this ages ago on some random website and I think it's a excellent design. Dont know about the '1880' though, better sticking with 1894.

Well, I did this because someone's asked me to design a logo for their supporters club, but cos of the copyright/trademarks of the current city crest(s), i wasnt sure how it affects supporter clubs, what they can use if anything, and still have that link/identity with the football club.

so i have contacted City asking if there's something already in place regarding something that can be used for supporters clubs and sent them this, to illustrate what i'm thinking of:

so you have the clubs crest, then something modified by the club to be used for official supporter clubs that they endorse, keeping a link of identity at the same time giving them a sense of indviduality ..... thats what i asked anyways.

now that is sexy.

tbh though i'd be happy with the old one, the eagle or that one as i like them all.

You see.... you see.... that's a beautiful kit! Cheers for that mate!
I'd even buy the dreaded blue shorts if they looked like that.

On a serious note i'd think about maybe presenting this design to City. Not sure if you'd want any royalties for it's usage, but i'd love to see it as our club crest.<br /><br />-- Mon Jan 30, 2012 7:20 pm --<br /><br />

Those are superb and a genuinely good idea. Each crest design maintains similarities with the main club badge and each can be interpreted to mean Manchester City with each one still being an individual brand logo.

Please, oh please, oh please City at least have a look! I've hated the eagle crest ever since we got it!
