I like these 2

So I tweaked & mashed em together

Part of me won't like getting rid of the Eagle. It makes the badge look less 'soft'

too much NSA or POTUS-ish
 
100% guarantee there will be no nod to the original cross anywhere in the badge. It brings up too many connotations to past historical symbols. Also no fucking Eagles and no red elements in the badge what so ever.

100% it will be round to fit in with the rest of the sister clubs branding.

100% we won't get a vote of a choice of 3. It will be the clubs decision.

Do you work for City?

If not...I was wondering how that 100% thing works when you haven't got a fucking clue

You don't need to save it...just don't understand people who say 100% this and 100% that when quite frankly you're talking out of your arse

May well be that your observations may come to fruition...but it won't be from your knowledge on the subject...just blind luck

Just don't see the point
 
Could having the rivers as a backdrop to the ship work? That might obscure how Adidas-like the rivers look.

it is tricky with the cross pattee, on the point when it comes to the monochrome or inverse versions. if its a white cross on the original for associated to St.Mark's, when its adapted, it turns dark, it can be associated with the Nazi Iron Cross ..... it just something to consider with the whole process of its use.

its tricky as the ship has to be on water, having water on a backdrop of water might be confusing ... could have the ship on 3 stripes that represent the 3 rivers

The ship and water and rivers don't really work in monochrome at all, looked really odd on the umbro black trim kit.

I'd be surprised if we see something more complicated than

Outer circle
Central element
(Potentially a background pattern)
MCFC

In global terms I think 'Manchester' is potentially too associated with United, that 'City' is our differentiated global brand but it would be odd to highlight City above all else so we'll settle for MCFC.

tbh I wouldn't be shocked to see an eagle in the circle.

While the maltese cross carries some dodgy connotations, I'm not convinced we'd believe people all over the world will get behind a ship icon (and lesser negative connotations such as imperialism and colonialism).
