Opinion Adelaide Crows New Logo Discussion

[flashcrow]

It was.

Their work is pretty uninspiring across the board.

I haven’t changed my opinion of the logo now that I’ve gotten used to it.

I don’t have a problem with the style. It’s just poorly drawn. Some parts of it are awkward or just downright ugly.

Wonder how much fuller got paid.

Well you know what people say about opinions... I would imagine Fuller got paid around $35,000, but that is just a guess.

I think more like double it

Then double it again

It’s a huge undertaking. Everything you’re seeing now from the club about the brand would have been through them.

The logo component is miniscule. The majority is on the research leading up to it and the collateral after.

It's worse than I thought

This is a horrific rebrand. They had a chance to do a complete reset and come up with an actual footy jumper and they end up at that. Half the time on TV it's just going to look like pyjamas.

It's like they took the criticism of "Just slapping a logo and side panels on a jumper doesn't make it a footy jumper", and then went in the complete opposite direction to fix it.

Just saw the new gold coast home and away Guernsey and it's even worse than the logo.

It's like they legitimately want to fail as a club

bomberclifford this what you’re talking about?

Yep. There's more stuff too. A well considered motion graphics palette and a solid social media branding style.

It's comprehensive and it's well executed. Should still be fresh in 5-7 years time.

To be honest, I'm a little envious. Not of the particular style, but the fact that your club has done it well and followed best practice.

I was sceptical when I first saw that leaked logo, but think the overall result puts your club at the forefront of the AFL in terms of its brand image.

I think the Gold Coast rebrand didn't consider how lighting may affect the jumper at all

There's going to be a lot of conditions where the logo is near invisible on the jumper making it just a full red design. The red on red is quite baffling.

Terrible. how do people eyeball each other and say "yep, this is what we are going with" surely, they know that the public and their own fans will flip out over this?
The guernsey is a massive fail. why not go with a traditional design?

I guess my guess was wrong.

Actually don't mind the direction GCS are heading with the away strip... but it still looks like a training guernsey.

The whole branding is missing character imo. Feels so corporate.

The strips are just terrible.

The have THE SUN to work with, and this is what they come up with?

My favourite Mighty Giants have a song for them though ...

Also ... as far as our new logo goes, I found a version in that explanation from the designers ... that I like / makes more sense.
