Club Badge (merged)

Heard from a source in the Club shop that Boxing Day is the big day.

Reliable source? What did they say exactly?

That's exactly why I would be surprised. Imagine the bitter taste of buying your kid a city shirt and the next day it being out of date.

if you think about it the current shirt is out of date in may anyway.so providing they only show the new badge and dont sell anything it makes no difference

individual taste is fine, but from a 'design perspective', you have to take in numerous factors. pleasing the few is a futile quest, you have to concentrate on the general consensus.

The Melbourne City Badge does what its meant to, links in the CFG, the City of Melbourne and includes where it came from in respect to Melbourne Heart.

I get why you dont like it, your main objection is the centrepiece flag, as everything else is based on the Esquer design so it isnt that part. And saying you dont like the centrepiece flag isnt the point of the badge is irrelevant as its not for you or us, but for the people of Melbourne.

To say its a crap design is utter bollox, the design is exactly what its meant to be for their club. You dont like it, fair enough, but to say the badge is a fail is just disrespectful to them.

I think you're getting "fulfilling a brief" confused with good design. The Melbourne badge definitely fulfills the brief of tying in with CFG and representing Melbourne, but it doesn't mean the design works.

The worst designed corporate logo I have ever seen is the First Advice logo we used to have on our shirts. "Advice" was in a speech bubble. Advice was their brand and putting it in a speech bubble indicated to the viewer that the company spoke sense and gave good advice. Did it fit the brief? Yes. Did it work from a design point of view? Did it balls.

Same with the eagle in a circle, it kind of fits the brief, but as for the design working, no, absolutely not.

Rafael Esquer called the Melbourne badge "A terrible missed opportunity." With respect, I'll take his opinion on design over yours or the Melbourne fans who you say like it.

I think you mean it doesn't work for you. I like it.

Yeh as I said earlier in the thread, good design is in the eye of the beholder. For example, some people might like the yellow Arndale tower, but it won't be winning any architecture design awards.

Some people still like boot cut jeans, some people like watching James Bond films, some people like the eagle inside a circle, there's no accounting for taste.

Haha! Nothing mate, if you like them good for you for still wearing them. That's my point, everyone has got different taste.
