Opinion Adelaide Crows New Logo Discussion

[Mr MysteryGuest]

I reckon that might just look messy.

Lots of detail can be messy but that version could definitely deal with a bit extra

 

[Go the Guts]

I don't think they'll fix anything. Let the initial outcry die down, then announce it with "We were already committed to it and couldn't change. The focus groups loved it."

For what it's worth, I kind of like it. The amendment someone did in here looks better, but I honestly don't think the original is as bad as most people are saying. Though obviously it's all subjective. Many of the options put forward as "better options" looked worse imo.

It is diabolically atrocious. You're kidding, surely.

I don't know if I like it but I think it's better than the bird head logo.

That logo would look nice on shirts and caps then the shit show that was leaked

 

[SA_Great]

While this is improvement on the leaked image it’s still missing something imo.

The feathers need a bit more texture or something, to make it less plain looking

I have updated that version - not necessarily what you're after, but I was trying to give the wings a bit more of a dynamic shape:

Yeah it’s getting there, but something isn’t quite clicking for me.

Our original was a bit basic but they almost perfected the design to give an iconic feel.

Still I think we need a more modern design any attempt to recreate it is drought with danger.

Hey SA_Great ... I think you lose a lot with the changes to the feathers on your latest updated one. Just throws the lines out of whack for me - that last (bottom) feather is at a really strange angle.

You've got a point there! I was trying to show the wing fanning out, but it doesn't quite have the same dynamic look as the previous version.

Option A is a combo of B and C, and the line of thought that I hope the club follows:

 

[Rotayjay]

It's still on a weird angle and it has a drop shadow. There also appears to be a mild gradient on the blue of the crow. This screams "this is not the final design and is subject to change".

'Subject to change' doesn't mean it will. I'm subject to a satellite crashing through my ceiling and clocking me on the head, but it ain't going to happen.

I will play Gary Jules Mad World when they wheel your corpse out of there.

FWIW I did send my design in and eventually got a reply - just a vague and generic email from “the Adelaide Football Club”.

Whatever the plan is, the club is sticking to it.

Mate yours is by far the best one I've seen, although I don't know if the head is too similar to the original. I couldn't help but tinker with it, hope you don't mind I just get triggered by crows with yellow beaks.

I think the longer beak makes the full bird look a little stumpy.

I also like the tip of the hat to the old logo with the retro beak.

I genuinely think they will be releasing a very slightly changed Gather Round style logo.

Which will be fine!!

Social media has been quiet. you'd think they would post a cryptic post by now with a date like the Saints did. This is almost as big as nailing pick 4

Maybe just relax, it will be announced within the next 2 weeks.

 

[Rodney D]

maybe as soon as this week. . . keep an eye on Westlakes

Taking out the trash at 2:30pm tomorrow?

 

[GreyCrow]

6pm Tuesday

US Election will dominate the news cycle and the logo will slip by and the club can say '' we had very little negative feedback ''

Say hi to Patty for me.

Not a great source on this, a mates son who works at a Rebel Sport.


But there has been a delay in new Crows gear for them. Was meant to come in at the end if November. Now delayed.


Backlash from the leak causing some edits?

Doubt it. I'd imagine these sort of delays would not be unusual.

Has anyone else received the generic reply back from the club re the logo?

"
Good Afternoon .....,

Thanks for contacting the club and providing your feedback.

We are aware of images being shared on social media and while we are not in a position to reveal details just yet, as you may be aware the club is conducting a rebrand including a new logo which we hope to share with our members and supporters soon.

Kind Regards,

ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB"
