Fair enough but as I said to SWP in an earlier post today (which he duly ignored as it didn't serve his narrative) I've had the opinion of three professional, mid-to-high level designers and artists and they all said it was poor design (none of them have any interest in City or sport in general, so they do not bring any personal bias or nostalgia). They mostly focused on the execution, rather than the elements, which I think is the reason many dislike it and refer to it as "cartoonish". It won't age well, I am convinced of that, as it already looks dated from the gate. Put beside other badges in world football it looks even worse.
I'll live with it but it is a missed opportunity in my book.
