your point is?
 
^Rebranding like this happens all the time.
Round badges, shields or simple images are much better than overcomplicated overly busy badges.
Latin moto's are bollocks.

I think our badge is too busy, the stars are shite, the Latin is bollocks (if anything I'd rather it said PRIDE IN BATTLE, in English). A simple shield or going back to a round badge is something I'd rather have.
 
The stupid thing is that we seemed to go in the opposite direction to everyone else. We already had a simple, modern badge and we replaced it with an old-fashioned shield with full military regalia. Apparently they changed it because they couldn't register the previous badge as a trademark. God knows why not.

I love badges and logo designs in general and i'm not too fond of the current Manchester City badge.

What do you think .. do you think our badge needs a make over ?

I like these badges:
