Club Badge (merged)

No, it doesn't work for me. What do we want people to think when they see our badge. This has a 100 year old icon of trade (incidentally for a city 40 miles from sea) alongside an modern stylised eagle. It's a mixed message, are we modernising or staying loyal to our roots.

Might look nice without the ship and stripes (which are beginning to look Adidassy) but with a nice red rose.

Fair enough if it doesn't work for you... The boat signifies our past trade history, and how the fuck else did the romans get here? haha.... CHESTER!

And the eagle/aquila could reflect again the Roman link BUT also the Flight industry....I'm fucking certain Mansour didn't just buy this club because it's city... he bought it because of how shit Newcastle airport is and how there was less room for development at Liverpool airport (even though he expressed interest in Everton)

Our airport is something to be proud of, and continues to grow with new routes added all the time.
This isn't a coincidence since ADUG came "on board"

Change the date on the first one to 1894 and make the bottom bit of the shield maroon and that's not too bad.

I don't like the second one at all.

Hell no isn't nearly strong enough.

I said it about 20 pages back, the danger with design by committee and trying to keep everyone happy is that you end up with shite like this. (No disrespect to whoever designed it).

The Nike swoosh is supposed to represent victory. If they asked all Nike fans to vote on what they thought represented victory there'd be no swoosh, they'd be a badge probably with a lion stood on top of a globe holding a trophy with the number 1 on it.

The club have to be strong on this. Trust an expert graphic designer to come up with an iconic badge that has some of the major elements people like. But don't try and please everyone and squeeze everything in. Otherwise we'll end up with the lion holding the trophy instead of the swoosh.

I don't mind the eagle, personally, and that updated one is quite good.
I'm not really too bothered what's on the badge myself. Think we should only have one Manchester icon on it if we're going minimalistic/modern.
 
The Evening News poll is interesting but it's not THE vote. That is via MCFC only! This is the last chance to submit comments, so get your views in. Might also be worth listening to http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p035t406 and then go to http://www.mcfc.co.uk/news/club-news/2015/october/badge-consultation to submit your views. It's the only guaranteed way they get directly to the people responsible: http://www.mcfc.co.uk/news/club-news/2015/october/badge-consultation.

I've posted some more of the slides from my talks here if they help: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10153236441762816.1073741832.289818652815&type=3

It's still not all of them, but does now include details on the elements. Of course, the slides only show the images and do not include the hour long talk and questions, but I hope they help.

Thanks for all this Gary, been fascinating. Couldn't get to the talks, sadly.

The bird needs to be sky blue on this ^ (anyone do it-pretty please), scrap the MCFC in the middle and have the adidas stripes projecting from the ships underside, so to become one symbol. this will provide more sky blue than white (our recognisable kit) allow the navy to stay and have the ship and stripes imagery large enough to use. The very outside rail edge needs to be navy blue akin the inside edge, with a sky blue bird three spheres will be easy to see...

No it isn't! Castlefield is the original Roman settlement. Cathedral at the other end. The fantastic John Rylands Library in between. Very much the heart of Manchester, my friend. You must be in the 'not in Lancashire any more' brigade. Oh dear.

The Noble Eightfold Path To Enlightenment

1 Revert to round
2 Save the ship
3 Run the rivers
4 Circle with City's full name

5 Lose the latin
6 Remove the raptor
7 Scratch the stars
8 Recycle the rose

Removing the stars representing (in rag eyes) the three European Cups we haven't won removes a source of ridicule. Recycling the rose, unless it's the English rose and not the Lancashire rose, adds a source of ridicule since it represents a county we ceased to belong to in 1974. This badge is likely to be used for the next 20-30 years. The Lancashire reference becomes less relevant with each passing year. An English rose would still be relevant if people really want one.
