They've massaged it, but it remains true in terms of always looking like the bird it's meant to portray, not an assembly of shapes.
I'm not artistic, but what I will do is put something together on excel that won't be far off the club version posted here.
I think everyone agrees that version sucks
And instead of binning it, we're fixated with it as a starting point.
I guessed that. As you seem to have no understanding of how difficult what you are asking for is.
You cannot create a good scalable logo that also is a photo realistic version of an animal / bird.
And yes, most good logos are generally a mixture of basic shapes.
I'm not a logo designer mate, you seem to think that we have a magic wand or something that just plucks these concepts from the ether at will!!
If you all you've got is "Do the Collingwood logo but with a flying crow" - I'm probably not interested in diving too deep.
Because everyone here is an amateur
Black crows can work.

Problem is that crows would have to be one of the more generic looking birds in real life.
And you can’t go too detailed with a logo
This is very clear, from reading this thread. People want different things.
Some people want a picture of a crow that they think looks like a crow.
Some people want the bird to look aggressive or hard arsed.
Some people care a lot about the colours.
Some people want something simple and resembling a good corporate logo.
Some people want something artistic and detailed, others want simplicity.

that is a chicken
I thought the logo that bald and broke posted was liked by the majority of people.
On the main board it got a lot of likes from other supporters too.

I completely agree.
A logo needs to work well in a logo grid, be instantly identifiable, scale well, work both in color and in mono. The brand mark is trying to be striking but simple, something unique.
I think the versions of the logo with our tricolour on the wings have been quite successful. I haven't seen a front on that I think works, but it's not impossible.
I really don't like the raptor and don't like what was leaked as the new logo.

Any guesses on when it will be realeased? I was thinking soon but maybe not next year closer to warm up games
New logos usually launch late october, early November.
Always going to be used to kick off next season, rather than end this one.
I'd guess we'll see it as soon as the players are back to promote the launch, will be on the new training gear.
If I would hazard a guess yeah it would be around that time given previous teams releases but it doesn’t stop me from suspecting they might’ve thought about doing it at the Club Champion awards last night until the vitriol came out at that leaked version.

Yes did think the same, rather it take a year longer if it means it’s crisp haha.
Maybe Draper can promote it once he’s drafted
