Opinion Adelaide Crows New Logo Discussion

[Scorpus]

Overreacting?
Surely people have a right to be annoyed that we’ve gone with something pretty average and people in an hour have improved it 10 fold?

It's laughable to think a divisive reaction to logos is normal and they'd never be able to please most people given the reaction to the fan improved logo vs the actual logo

Hey baldandbroke you got any XL hoodies done yet?

Or surely a little fan engagement wouldn’t go astray?

Maybe we could do a name change at the same time...

I saw the logo last week (the actual one not the leak). My first reaction was hmmm... but it has grown on me. I think most people will come around to liking it.

I was of the similar view after the initial leaks whilst not overly impressed with it I thought it would grow on people and after its official launch tonight again I wasn’t too overly bothered by it but that view has probably changed somewhat since seeing the implementation of it on like I said in a previous post on the club’s social media pages and on club merchandise - which are 2 of the main prominent areas sports teams logos should be judged by.

As soon as this logo gets scaled down in size like on the club’s social media profiles and on club merchandise it loses all of what little detail it has in the first place and looks like a pixelated MS Paint job.

Considering the feedback from the leaked version, the absolute stubborness from the club and marketing firm is breathtaking.

I actually bothered to email them the popular alternatives and tweaks. I never go to that effort.

When do Tasmania join again?

You do realise the decision had been made long before Kane leaked it, don't you?

Yeah but you can still hit the abort button, or go back to the marketing agency for another round of tweaks. I'm familiar with the process.

This was our chance to be unburdened by what has been (US political reference). But yes, great call to hide the announcement on election day. Like a rate rise on Melbourne cup. Maybe the fans wont notice.

It's funny how the logo announcement mimics Nicks's recent extension announcement. Something they thought would get people hyped but they got wind of it being unpopular beforehand and just kind of had to shove it out the door to little fanfare.

It's simply a logo ....in the big scheme of things to be concerned about, this is meaningless

Trust me ....it wouldn't matter what the design was, it was never going to please anyone .....it's human nature to criticise everything

Just register your protest by not buying any merchandise .....but guess what, the Club will record merchandise sales this year

I would have thought the club would take the opportunity to involve its members in some way shape or form. Agreed asking for input would mean 60,000 opinions would have to be considered but they missed the opportunity. As usual the club elects to not involve us and continues to treat us with contempt. How short sighted. With the new facility at Thebarton starting up and given the money that club will need to raise it makes it so much more difficult to approach the members for contributions. Ignore us and we will ignore them when they come asking for help.

Its not a smart way to treat its members.

Your right. its not the biggest concern we are faced with. My issue is the contempt that they treat its members with.
