Club Badge (merged)

That should be O.C.D..

Actually it should be O.C.D.

I think it's great. Can't wait till the eagle is gone.

I hated the badge at first, it slowly grew on me. I've had it as my screensaver for the last few weeks, I see it a few times a day, every day, and now I really like it and just consider it as our badge. The little OCD things like "City" being straight as opposed to curved, stop being irritating after a while, and you just don't notice it.

It's weird seeing people wearing the 80s badge now looks a bit odd to me. The writing going all the way around, and the bottom half of the shield being white, it doesn't look quite right because I'm so used to seeing the new badge every day.

I think this will be the same for most fans over time. It's a shock at first, and difficult to get used to. But over time when you see it every day, when it's on Bluemoon, the City website, social media, the paper, on TV etc, people will just come to accept it as the badge. Eventually people will grow to love it I'm sure as new memories get attached to it.

It was a hard task for the club to please everyone, but on reflection I think they've probably got it right. Many didn't want the rose because of it's lack of relevance, but it probably makes for a more interesting, eye catching badge having it included. Also if you look around town, on the library and other public buildings, the rose is a prominent feature, so even though it might not currently be relevant, it still holds an important place in Manchester's history.

The only thing I've not got used to, is on a white background, the badge does look rather unbalanced, with the bottom half of the shield taking much more prominence. I'm sure we'll get used to it, but on a sky blue background the badge looks tip top.

Well now that I think about it the elements that people aren't sure on are probably the ones that will make the badge instantly recognisable and stand out from others... maybe that's the reason behind some of the decisions.

Would have preferred it to have 'football club' on it. Not read the thread but why do New York and Melbourne get to have it on theirs? I see them as literally nothing to do with us, but if they are part of the so called City Football Group, why don't we have football club on our badge as the lead team, and those two go without it?

Petty I know, (I'm not a fan of the CFG).

It would have looked so much better with Manchester City Football Club.

Nope, definitely O.C.D.. One dot to abbreviate Disorder and another to end the sentence.

I find the new badge very forgetful. I keep looking back to see if I'm going to like it, but am continually disappointed. Hope it somehow looks better on the shirt.

Enjoyed reading this view. It's growing on me too,

You don't need another one to end the sentence mate, you never put two full stops next to each other unless you're creating suspense in a comic...

I'll think you'll find it's C.D.O.

(O.C.D. in alphabetical order - the way it fucking should be!)

Of course I should have known that, old age creeping up a bit further :)

i wasnt a fan of it at first and sometimes still a few things i would change, but on shirt mockups, from a distance, it does look .... ok.
