Club Badge (merged)

Thinking outside the box a little, what if the 3 lines for the rivers were horizontal under the ship? Would make sense a ship actually sitting on water, then the rose under that like the 80s badge, 18 on one side of the circle, 94 on the other side.
 
way off, but a guess without being outlandish ...

Maybe the 3 rivers would be the wavy ones you've included (3 of them), and the rose would be central and larger on the field of sky blue in the bottom half of the circle, eliminating the three diagonal lines representing the rivers?

Anyway, GiG, let me add my voice to the chorus of thanks for your fantastic mock-ups. You are really talented, obviously enjoy what you do, and I for one check this thread more than most others solely to see your creativity. Cheers and happy holidays!

Funny. Us US-residers think the same thing at the same time apparently!
 
Unfortunately the people who did the Melbourne badge are City's in house design team. The same team who came up with the appalling "Cityzens" logo.

World renowned graphic artist Rafael Esquer did the NYCFC badge. He's interested in City and he was very keen to be involved in this project but the club passed.

My worst fear was that the club were going to look at the results of the questionnaire and squeeze the 4 or 5 most popular symbols in to a badge. That's not good design, that's a fudge.

The final design is far more important than the individual elements. If we end up with a cluttered mess like Melbourne's then I hope blues are going to stand up to the club like Everton fans did.

We shouldn't have our identity trampled on by a cheap second rate designer just because he's employed by the club.

imagine the horror if they shoe horned the lot in a shield like this bag of shite.

I still think it will be like the original badge from 30's with a rose replacing the dot at the bottom and 1894 between the ship and rivers.
 
I'm just hoping that the rose is quite subtle, say on one of the sails. If not I've got a feeling it's going to look horrendous.
 
Unfortunately it seems City are trying to please everyone but could end up pleasing almost nobody.

Hoping for the best on boxing day.
