A club crest we can all agree on..

It's amazing how some people who think they are clever with photoshop can make such a cock up of our badge.

I sometimes think half of them on here don't have a clue about our history with the sh1t they come out with!

Not sure what the story is behind the old badge and maybe somebody can let me know the facts but I heard that city hadn't actually owned the badge and someone who worked at the souvenir shop went ahead and bought it ? Sounds typically city ha ha . . . But do not like the new badge with that ridiculous bird on it and the even more ridiculous gold stars . . . Hence the only shirts I have now are ones that are bought as presents . . . BRING BACK THE OLD BADGE CITY !!!! seems in football as in everything else people are too quick to dump the past and everything that goes with it . . .

Here are two genuine attempts by myself, that are absolutely sh*te but I only used paint, so meh.
The left section is the flag of Saint Mark, a hint to our original name. The right section is the Lancashire flag.

The background of the lion might look better in blue, but I can't seem to change it properly on paint, and I'm not paying for Photoshop.
 
Those two are genuine attempts? Not trying to be mean here but I dislike both.

-Too much red is brought into it by the lion background and the rose.
-The addition of blue to the stars and some of the feathers looks horrible, to be blunt.
-If you're going to improve the current crest why not start by shooting the bird down wholesale. Lose the cheesy Latin too.
 
New York have a round one, now Melbourne have a round one. As we are part of one group does it not make sense to give us a round in a similar style to theirs.

I thought exactly the same thing when I saw the Melbourne badge. Our owners do seem to like the idea of a consistent 'brand', so I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a round badge with "Manchester City FC" around the outside, this time next year.
 
When City put out the survey a year ago about the "Cityzen" scheme, one of the things they asked people to say whether they wanted to have the right to vote on was things like changing the club badge. They actually used that as a specific example. I reckon a change to the club badge is more likely to happen than not right now.

Hopefully, I really don't like the current one.

The circular one has so much more identity to it.
 
Doesn't Eddie Phillips own the rights to the round badge and we will have to pay rights to him to use it? Another shady Swales deal(Apologies if this has already been mentioned)

He may own one version but there are plenty of fantastic roundel efforts which people on this very forum have come up with which put our ametuer effort to shame. I really hope this happens.

I have to say, i do like this crest.

Has the rose, has the date, is in the circular style, retains the shield, no crappy latin motto. Just remove the stars on the black stripe.

Me likey!
