Club Badge (merged)

[IanBishopsHaircut]

Have you seen this horror mate?! It's not anywhere near the same class as yours.

Rafeal Esquer who designed the NYCFC had nothing to do with this design by the way, so I can only assume it was done by the in house graphics team who also came up with the "Cityzens" debacle.

I pray it's nothing like this...genuinely shit

I'm sure the academy was running well before 1990 Kramer. I remember as a young boy waiting for my dad to get home from work so I could read the Evening News back page (in the old days when there was one story a day) and reading about it. Jim Cassell was heavily involved. It probably had a different name but if we're talking about success of badge era it can be argued city's youth setting up was the club's most successful/productive/time ever. Success isn't just trophies.

I was being pedantic re "academy" of course there was a youth setup before producing great players Doyle Oakes Pardoe & Young to name just a few and then later of course Lake Brightwell Hinchcliffe White etc Doubt whatever badge was in at the time made any difference My view and I'm approaching 60 is that the Eagle should be retained it can be incorporated with the ship and the rivers in a good modern design, but no red in our badge and certainly no rose despite me being a Lancastrian

My biggest concern is squashing an eagle in to a circle, but it's closely followed by this Melbourne effort.

The most worrying thing is that it's likely the designer / design team responsible for Melbourne's badge will be designing ours.

It's so busy, so all over the place, we could well end up with the boat, rivers, rose, date, latin phrase, eagle just thrown in the middle of a circle like a load of magnets on a fridge.

Please City, keep it simple, don't try and over do it.

Sorry for pilfering @1.618034 design, and essentially ripping off Gav, but as far as core design and colour scheme goes, this would get my vote. (I'd change the text to navy blue as well if I knew how :-)

I can't take the credit for that mate. I just pasted it from someone else's post on here.

But yeah it's close to what I think we'll get.

Oh ok, thought it was yours. Well apologies whoever I stole it from ;-)

I hope it's close to what we end up with. It's got elements from all of our badges:

1930s Badge - Same core design
1970s badge - White circle, traditional shaped shield, ship
1997 badge - Sky blue and white shield, same gold trim as the eagle.
CFG badges - Same round shape and trim

Also this colour scheme is instantly recognisable as City whether it is on the blue shirt or not.

Sorry mate, didn't mean to rip yours off either, was just trying to get down my perfect badge and don't have the skills to do it from scratch!

I think the colours in his original were a bit pastel, prefer the darker colours from the existing badge.

that's what they are there for, saves me having to re-edit mine to each persons individual tasts.
