Opinion Time for a change of logo? (Ft designs)

[smish]

Yeah, this won't age well

Agree - big fan of the 70s logo. If we were to change I'd prefer it to be a slightly modernised version of this.

Something else interesting is this concept of logo crossovers with the EPL. We were based off Crystal Palace. No way the AFL would allow something of this more classic style as they very much seem to favour American sports.

Do we call Melbourne the Red Demons? AFL logos mashed with Premier League

That is what makes it more galling is that the club probably spent a princely sum to get this new logo designed when if you put a job on Fiverr saying 'use our current logo but make it look like a 6 year old painted it' you'd yield the same result. Just another proud day of being a Raiders supporter when they unveiled this.

Probably paid a nice sum to get the logo but then that company just paid some bloke $100 on fiverr or hell, they probably just used AI tbh.

I hate that we’ve had so many logos.

When you look at the big euro football clubs there’s something so rich and special about the logos / crests which have been pretty much unchanged for almost a century. There’s a sense of meaning that Liverpool players have when they grab the crest on their shirts after scoring a goal, tracing that lineage back to all the players that have played with the same motif.

The need to "modernise" it every 15 years just seems gimmicky and an unfortunate byproduct of the american franchising of sport.

I think the Pies have settled back on a historic version of their crest and I would love us to do the same. The Hawk that we have on our heritage jumpers the last few years is how I always saw our logo as a kid (even though it had just changed to that 80s version) and still feels like the right version for me.

I completely agree.

If you want to see an example of a club throwing away a beautiful classical logo for a 6 year old's cartoon parody then check out Arsenal's current and previous ones.

They spun it to the fans by saying they'd consulted with a heraldry expert who said the cannon facing west to east is unlucky. Considering at that point they'd been champions of England 12 times, I thought blimey how many would they have won if they hadn't hamstrung themselves in this way.

Since the lucky cartoon cannon came in facing it's rubber projectiles to the east they have been champions of England once in 21 years and are currently experiencing their longest championship drought since they won the first one.

And of course they got rid of the Latin moto too because these exercises are always about dumbing down to some perceived lowest common denominator.

Campaigners.

Almost as bad as the proposed Leeds one a few years ago until the fans thankfully got it binned:

I was looking at the Australian crest on the cricketers helmets and baggie green earlier thinking how there's probably a focus group somewhere wanting to turn it into a cartoon version of a kangaroo and an emu with a thunderbolt and a scowl to make it more "marketable"....
