Club Badge (merged)

[Le Havre Oswald]

I was expecting bad, but not this bad.

If this was offered up as a design on here is would have been laughed out of town compared to Gav's designs. People would be saying "Have you done that on MS Paint?"

They've clearly taken inspiration from Arsenal for a really simplified design, but they've missed it by a huge margin. It looks like a cartoon and it's actually a little bit embarrassing.

The eagle and the Melbourne badges are leagues ahead of this in terms of design quality, and I hate those two badges too.

An abomination.

So you like it then?

You'd think its got Rolf Harris's nonce on it.

Right it's growing on me but the 1894 is still pissing me off. It's not needed. It's annoying our identity now has to conform to branding synonymous with other clubs - even if we do own em.

 

[GeekinGav]

What makes you say that? City have paid for the trademark.

City... If they have any sense will trademark about 50 designs just to stop anyone using similar to the actual design they use.

Doesn't mean that childish crap is the final one.

Let's hope at least it isn't.

The only thing i dont understand is, in the email Ric put up earlier, the '9' is in white with a blue background and the leaked Badge is blue with a white background?!

Just a thought

It was probably just reversed because of the email. City emails usually come with a sky blue background, don't they?

Think id gotten that bored thinking about it i was always going to end up feeling a little underwhelmed. Wasn't expecting the rose to come back but all in all I think its ok. Looks pretty decent on the shirts too. Its round, it has the ship, the rivers and the words Manchester city on it. Beats the eagle and stars hands down!

Still not 100% its the real thing. The club could've registered a few designs with the department of intellectual property for all we know.

It is 100% the real deal.

Anyone calling it MSPaint quality is a complete knob. It's fine to like or dislike it but words like embarrassing and amateur have no place in the discussion. There are very few here even qualified to begin to have opinions like that.

It's fine to have it not be to your taste. It's hardly an embarrassment of design

if thats it then it is better than the buzzard, but think I will stick to still buying and wearing the first 2 badges we had as the date lack of f.c. or football club and shield shape I ain't keen on. better than present one though

Edit actually I have changed my mind it's a poor take on a great design and average at best

 

[GeekinGav]

Me too. Anyone who doesn't know Manchester City is not a football club doesn't follow football.

It's odd though in 2 countries where they have added Football Club, the natives call it Soccer, yet in the place where it makes sense, that crappy thing omits it.

And what's the point of buying other clubs, forming a group and the main core branding is lost? That's no point changing it if that is the case.

But if it is true, I'm gonna be laughing at it for years to come. I'd never use it or buy anything with it on.

Agree! Great badge, back to our roots !!!

but at least it gives people something else to loan about apart from , our home support, the beer , the pies, the weather, kompany, caballero, pellegrini, our physios, our tactics , our team doctor, navas's finishing, money wasted on bony and Mangala, our lack of full backs, Otamendi rushing in, how we need Mancini back, Belgians in the away end, the champions league, the press, UEFA, the premier league, international friendlies, Fernando, Nasri, kick off times, platinum membership, de michelis, Yaya Toure, Yaya routes agent, a bit more Yaya Toure, not playing the kids, kolarovs attitude, etc etc etc

so giving the fans something more to moan about is just a Christmas present to the fans. Maybe it's Christmas Eve gift to the Main Stand

That made me laugh.
