Opinion Adelaide Crows New Logo Discussion

[Tex Danger]

We need a new logo and we need an iconic pregame song, I suggest Metallica - Enter the Sandman

Melbourne played enter sandman as a pre entry somg

Problem was it was far too small clip to be effective

Read an article last week about a college gridiron team who has made it a tradition and grew to be all the fans jumping in the stands even registering seismic activity etc.

Our logo is the worst logo in the history of sport.

An absolute abomination; an embarrassment to the club and its entire supporter base.

The font, the blue, the beak, the eyelashes, the fact it looks more like a female version of the shredder from the ninja turtles..

Burn it. For the love of god, just burn it and every piece of merch to which it is attached.

I love when teams use this song, Virginia Tech is awesome.


But something not overdone. Seek and Destroy?


Thunderstruck ACDC is something I have thought is a good hype song.


Welcome to the Jungle GnR?

Led Zeppelin- Kashmir?

Just for 1990 …

“Fix the stuff an old whinging man will complain about - put it in a shield - use the right colours”

For comparison …

I prefer the beak inside the shield.

 

[robboaustralia]

Cool image...how fun is AI!

IMO Logo still looks a little too happy/welcoming...the eyes are too round and the beak is almost smiling. We need a bit of menace in the logo!

Kinda like this (looks grumpy):

Wake me up when September Ends - Green Day

 

[Southerntakeover]

Always cracks me up when people suggest edgy themes for our nice wimpy grandma club.

Maybe we can get a song from that nice young lad Farnesy, he seems open to licensing right now!

I reckon this would work well for an entrance song for Crows.
Ties into your "fly as one" and has a great rock riff, and some good lyrics that can be leveraged for crowd participation.

 

[Moe Ron]

Our logo is absolutely horrid. Have hated it since it was introduced, and have avoided almost all merch based on this.

For starters, the majority of the blue is the wrong blue.
The text looks like WordArt
And yeah..it's a birds head...just horrific in every way.

Need to use darker blue, and darker/bolder red/yellow
Need to use a flying crow, or one with wings outstretched.

Has anyone generated any logo with multiple crows on it? Just a thought.

I've always thought a multiple crows logo could be an interesting direction. Maybe like the 'Three Lions' shield:

Each crow could represent
1 - Club
2 - Fans
3 - Location (Adelaide/Kaurna country)

'Crows' is plural...and you could play with the whole 'murder of crows' piece...maybe do it in Latin to make it feel legit "Caedes corvi" of something

Just some mucking around:

 

[Draft Bored]

Twitter aren't using their logo anymore.

 

[Mostyn]

zLooks like a blue kookaburra. I like the current one better.

You CAN'T be serious.

I know I'm a club apologist type, but even I think the Raptor head is absolutely disgraceful.

NO SHIELD!

 

[PeterSalt]

NO SHIELD!

Brave Sir Robin has a shield though

 

[Moe Ron]

NO SHIELD!

I'm all for a good shield! Bad shield experience in the past? PT'S'D?

 

[Draft Bored]

The only bird based sporting team logo I like is the Blue Jays.

I think it's the base of it being that V shape that adds some horizontal symmetry.

How good is the Milwaukee Brewers (MB) logo?

The M and B making up the baseball glove. Very clever yet still pretty simple.

I feel like it’s trying to make us older than we are, or like a soccer club.
I just think logos look better with no shield.

Fair enough! Our original logo was in a shield so wouldn't be too phony but I get the preference aspect...that's the beauty and nightmare of design, everyone is different

[Burtonsgottago]

Has Olsen or Silvers been asked publicly about when we are getting rid of the current logo?

Understand that it is not thr top priority now, but it never will be, and continues to make us look like an amateurish organisation.

Haven’t bought any merchandise since

The bird itself looks pretty non-threatening, though I think we could make it look pretty tough with a Crow. This style though I think would be a good update. Something bold, but not too complicated. Keep it simplistic, but fierce.
