Club Badge (merged)

I think the City alone and straightened is intentional. Those of you who are calling it amateur design or wanting them to offset it with FC are missing the intention. All that white space and culling it down to just City were choices made -- they likely want the words Manchester and City to be highly visible and identifiable on the badge. It seems they want City in particular to stand out and didn't want it getting washed out by other words
 
Just some more thoughts on comments made, doesn't the red rose come from the Manchester COA? This makes it as valid as the ship and rivers if it's still on there. Not that I like it on a blue background.

Yes that's right BUT doing what they have done has created a base or floor for the eyeline, the text doesn't flow properly. The words become unconnected which is weird. Maybe it's a symmetry thing.

I am not sure anyone is missing that intention. I knew immediately what they were trying to do—I (and many others more qualified to comment than I) just think it was a poor choice that creates unbalanced white space and a wandering eye.

Mrs Innsbruck said exactly the same when I showed it to her. Made me see it in a different light, and now I really like it.
Perhaps the club's intention is to be more aggressive with promoting us as Manchester's club, and trying to establish 'City' as our worldwide name, similar to 'Real', 'Bayern' and 'Barça'.
God knows I'm sick to death of Utd being called 'Manchester' on European TV; however, we're often called just 'City'.
