way off, but a guess without being outlandish ...

Do you think? Personally, the 3 rivers themselves aren't the icon I associate with Manchester, or City. It's the 3 rivers inside a shield that is on the CoA and our previous badges that means something to me. Take the 3 lines outside of that shield and they are completely meaningless.

Yes, I do agree, but in terms of incorporating the symbol of the three rivers and the rose into the badge, I think @Project may be on to something.
 
Ok so it's now been confirmed by City that the badge will be unveiled on Boxing Day, and will be used from next season onwards.

The bad news is that ALL of the symbols on the posters WILL be included. So ship, rivers, rose and 1894. We're looking at a cluttered, Melbourne style mess which there is no appetite for. Happy xmas!

There’s a late Christmas present for supporters to look forward to on Boxing Day when we will reveal the design of our new badge.
The badge design, which was entirely influenced by the feedback of Cityzens supporters during a 30-day consultation period, will be unveiled ahead of the home game against Sunderland.

In addition, we have updated the original consultation pod at the Etihad Stadium City Square and we’re inviting Cityzens to be the first to see the badge in the hours prior to kick off in a further exclusive opportunity for supporters on our membership scheme.

The consultation process revealed an overwhelming desire among Cityzens to evolve the badge with a round design, as used in two of the Club’s three previous crests, emerging as by far the most popular shape.

Only one third of supporters were keen to retain the existing badge shape.

In the past few days the Club has released a series of images in key supporter sites in and around the city of Manchester, which give clues as to some of the elements contained in the new badge.




However, it is only on Boxing Day that all constituent symbols and their interrelationships will be revealed.

Kevin Parker, General Secretary of the Official Supporters Club said: “‘I have been so impressed from the outset with the club’s approach to this entire badge project.

“There are not many clubs that would seek fans’ views on such a central issue and there are even fewer, if any, that would then commit to respond so faithfully to the feedback received.

“I can’t wait for this badge to be revealed and for it to become a cherished symbol in the next phase of our evolution.”

Match-going Cityzens wishing to view the new badge arrive at the New Badge exhibition space by City Square from 1pm on Boxing Day with proof of their Cityzens membership.

The badge will be launched in Summer 2016 ahead of the 2016-17 season.

David Silva.

Oh, and if you have a think, the reason I moan about the manager being shite, the blue shorts being shite and the Melbourne badge being shite is because I fucking love the club! It's important to me.

If I didn't give a toss I'd just say oh yeh, nevermind the manager is clueless, Nike can just do away with our history and identity and do what they like, and the badge? Pah, I don't care, let the club do whatever they think is best. Sorry mate, if you don't give a toss about those things, good for you, but they're important to me.

Problem is if you use the 3 rivers for the ship to sail on, it's not accurate. Like the stars.

You have the 3 rivers, Medlock, Irwell and Irk (to my knowledge ships haven't sailed them?) then you have a 4th body of water, the Ship Canal, that had ships upon it.

I know the use of the ship previously was to symbolise trade, not the canal, but when we have used the 3 river symbol, there were 4 bodies of water regardless, even if one looks like a puddle.

As long as the waves, touch the edges of whatever it's in, like it's sailing, not floating, I won't have to start a hate campaign
 
Think the club have rushed into this to get it on the shirts for next season - hopefully it all works and looks outstanding but it would have been much better for them to come up with 2 or 3 options for Cityzens (ones with points history) to vote on.
