A club crest we can all agree on..

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.

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 woman ;)

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.

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

ffs! Are you inGavious's client now? Learn Photoshop and do it yourself.

ps. wahay! 100 posts!
