Lions logo redesign (EDIT)

[Nickimus Rex]

The current logo has really grown on me and I no longer consider it a "paddle-pop" lion logo.

Even so, i wanted to have a crack at redesigning the logo with simpler lines, shapes and overall branding, so here is my Lions.fc logo

Edit:

Here is a second set i designed. This is a more traditional take on a Lions logo, but with a modern shield.

Design elements included:
- The Brisbane Bears V (as seen on guernseys and the later logo)
- The "Brisbane Bears Fitzroy Football Club" tagline to show that we are one club but acknowledge our history
- BBFFC classic Lion
- The creation date of each club, 1883 and 1986 to reflect its heritage
- Four different colour schemes, two done in current colours, one in Fitzroy's colours, the other in Brisbane's.

I’m a “new” Lions fan, and I really dislike the paddle pop logo.

Would much prefer going back to the Fitzroy lion logo.

Not a fan of the paddle pop at all and also not a fan of any redesign or variation of it.

Football clubs are built on heritage and i’ve always found that any club branding that takes advantage of that heritage is a winner.

If the club has any sense they would do away with the plastic paddle pop branding and bring in a ‘classic’ design featuring the Fitzroy lion, it’s past time to get this done and there’s no more Angus Johnson around defending his botched attempt at club branding in an effort to try and save his crappy reputation

Yep the old Fitzroy logo for me, the square edged redesign makes it look like transformers

In an old market town like Melbourne, heritage is the key. People support becaude their family supports.

Brisbane is a different kettle of fish. Marketing is geared towards kids, which is why the cartoonish logo is still around. More accessible.

Keep working on it. You've got some way to go to match the clear favourite from some years ago.

Yeah, I've done a re-work on it too, I think it should look like below.




















My preferred look of the paddle pop logo.

Just rework the colours and here is one for the indigenous Guernsey.

I dont mind the 'paddle pop' head as it currently used. I just didnt like it on the jumper and having it slapped over the fitzroy lion. That specific lion needs to remain on the jumper indefinitely. What the 'club logo' is doesnt matter as much. But i like having the different looking head as is. For merch i stick with stuff branded with the fitzroy lion though.

You got your bloody guernsey back, let us Paddlepop lovers have SOMETHING ffs.

 

[POBT]

Having changes in branding is not unusual, even for the traditional Melbourne clubs. Jumpers don't tend to change anywhere near as often but the various clubs' logos have.

"Lions.fc" looks like a shitty website address.

Sorry mate, can’t see anything? Or is that just me?

Nothing to see, I'm just not a fan of the logo so would rather not see it.

Wish I could love Paddlepop, that Lion logo always looks constipated.
Someone said that waaaaayy back and I can never unsee it.

And you're taking the risk of consigning someone else to that fate?

From that thread Skoob posted above, this is exactly what I want for a logo.

We don't need any shield or text or anything to unnecessarily complicate it. Just the Lion on a maroon background.

 

[Nickimus Rex]

I like the simplicity of just a lion on maroon, but from a branding perspective it doesn't incorporate the teams full colours which people might object to, nor does it reflect anything about the team or location.
Freo probably has my favourite "simple" logo and doesn't really have anything but their established year, but it really sells their brand.

Hated the paddlepop Lion on our jumper but quite like the Lion head logo.....I don't like chopping and changing logo's tbh. Leave them as they are imo.

I love me some MS Word WordArt gradients. Outline too

Amazing logo. So many stubby coolers floating around with that beauty!

Like the first shield. As for the Lion's head, sorry, don't like at all.

Here's my terrible MS Paint job to give a bit of feedback. There was just something about the bald patch on the mane at the top...
