Club Badge (merged)

It looks great to me, shield pops out, modern but retains 70's influence.

seeing most of the thread it sounds like you didn't like the badge before it was even revealed. in what way does it look like a loony toons badge ? they've included most of the elements city fans wanted

Haha Shaelumstash was never gonna like it unless it was exactly what he was hoping for.

Jesus, you calling me a "particularly vocal person"' is like Manuel Pellegrini calling another manager tactically inept, you really have no room to talk!

Bwahahahahahaha.

Personally, I'm in the "It's a bit shit, there's about 5 things wrong with it, Gav could've done far better but its better than the eagle monstrosity" camp.

those with an eye for design who think it looks a bit Fisher Price.

What "those with an eye for design" like isnt necessarily a better thing.

Why should it be one or the other ? Manchester was a part of Lancashire when City came into existence and for our first 80 years a 70's boundary change doesn't change that. So for me having both the symbolism of Manchester and Lancashire is perfect

A gentleman never tells.

Yeah but will you tell?

i agree mate, the rose and our lancashire past is so important to manchester. if thats not relevant then neither is the ship. if you walk around manchester and look especially around the older buildings you can find the rose on a lot of different things.

Those who talk about their eye for design are probably too busy looking at their own intestines as their heads are probably not where they could be looking at any badge not halfway through their digestive system.

The thing I've seen on the ipo site says 'examination' next to it not 'registered' & there's another in all dark blue like a Chelsea badge. The eagle one & the old ones say 'registered'. There are others too which have never been used. There is another one from Sept 2015 which says 'application published' which is different .

Are we 100% sure this is the final one ?

Either way, i hate the fucking eagle & the 3 stupid stars anyhow so..

i do design and illustration for my degree course and i think it looks good. everyone from designers to posters on here will have different views. Just because some random designer says it doesn't look good doesn't mean its not. imo the same guy that did the new york badge did it it would look a lot more corporate and it wouldn't have the things we wanted.
