Club Badge (merged)

[coleridge]

If we didn't have rights to the 1972 badge, why were we allowed to produce and sell retro shirts with that badge on before we registered it in September?

Self-explanatory. Should be a relief for all the 'Eagle' fans out there.
The mono badge registered in 1972 and version thereof must be of its time. The coloured version was effectively protected thereafter as anyone else attempting to use it would fall foul of the law of passing off.

Looks sound, everyone knows we're a football club why on earth does it need to be on the badge, a massive improvement for me and a well done.

Exactly.

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..

Trademarking is a process which takes a while, once you've entered the process you don't get to change your submission or get a refund

For me the problems are the flat text and the shading. I'm not too keen on the shield popping out either, I would've preferred it if it was more like this.

For all on here saying don't like it, crap, rubbish, cartoony, embarrassing & stronger versions of disagreement; i would like to see an alternative with the elements being used. Or its a mute argument is it not?

Not, that's like saying someone can only critise if they can do better, so navas can cross the ball because no one that criticises him can cross better and a fan can't have a pop at yaya because they can't even decide to "turn it on", like he does,
If you get me?

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Easily the one on the right. I hope the club can just make the simple tweaks of adding 'football club' and adjusting the shield to fit inside. I really do feel those changes reflect the main issues people have with the new design, because other than that it's fine.

I don't like football club on it. Too busy.

I don't mind the new badge at all, certainly looks more "City" than the eagle and decorative continental stars, but got to admit I prefer the mock ups on here that have "Football Club."

even without though I think even those who aren't keen now will warm to it, especially over time as they see it on our shirts, people can then go back to moaning about the colour of our shorts!!

 

[Jack Wills]

I actually like our current badge, but this new one is really good too. Looks pretty cool in my opinion.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Which do people prefer?

I know which one goes best with the rest of the group.

Plus most people agree that someone on here has done better, gav
