AFLW 2024 - Round 6 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Can't say I agree.I don't mind it, even though it does look slightly more NRL than AFL. I like it better on a white background as it looks off balance on the blue background.
I still think that Melbourne's logo is by far the best upgrade out of all of the modern re-designs.
FWIW this was my attempt that I sent to the club several months ago. I’m not claiming it’s ideal, but at least the dog is more realist, not kiddy-cartoony, and the text/words/shield all combine into one complete logo.

Western Bulldogs new logo looks similar to the Mornington Cricket Club logo

Wow. Just Wow. That's not just similar. That is literally the same dog, same stripes, same shield. This has to be addressed soon or it could backfire.
I love Richmond's logo. I'd just prefer that they add 'Football Club' to 'Richmond.'Can't say I agree.
Melbourne's looks like it was designed by 7 different people and all of them got what they wanted in the logo.
Then they just took Liverpool's logo and converted it.
There they were sitting around the office of the designer, his hair resplendently pulled back into a pony tail to ensure everyone knows this is his business attire.
Melbourne officials speak:
Put the Yoke in it, make sure that gets in.
Hey. don't forget the Demon, put a trident in or something.
What about the rules of the game? Put that in too.
Hang on, oldest club. Got to have 1858
Yeah, you guys are missing the Southern Cross. Every bogan in the country has it tattooed on his chest. That's got to be in.
What about the blokes who died in the wars? Liverpool has an eternal flame, can we find a spot for that? Yeah, we whack it over the M
And a ribbon, we've got to have a ribbon.
Wait! What about a footy? This needs a footy.
So, which ones will be put in the new Melbourne logo?
All of 'em.
We'll just Photoshop buggery out of it as well, make it look all modern and flashy.
Compare it to Richmond for example.
You still have the element of the shield.
And then you have an unmistakeable Tiger.
Nothing else.
And as Tommy Hafey once said 'there's nothing more tigerish than a bloody tiger".
Richmond's logo kills Melbourne's.
Wow. Just Wow. That's not just similar. That is literally the same dog, same stripes, same shield. This has to be addressed soon or it could backfire.
AFL Brandzone is the entity that addresses all copyright issues and brands with the AFL. This is the entity that permits use of AFL art, photos, and imagery and provides the "Official AFL" branding for commercial items. Also linked with AFLphotos.That's the first I've heard of any entity called "AFL Brandzone" by the way. Mero, any ideas?
Hahaha surely this isn't a thingStill my favourite logo rip off, the Kingston FC logo.
Do clubs actually care about local ripoffs? I mean I understand why they would legally but its so common, the majority of local clubs are just ripoffs rather than original art.The cricket club just blatantly ripped it off. I was about to post the tweet from the club but Trent85 beat me to it. Local clubs are guilty of ripping off AFL teams all the time.
Even if a local club has had a particular logo for a long time, if the AFL team they've 'borrowed' it from decides to change their logo, you can guarantee that the local club will follow suit by 12 months' time.
Gonzaga is known as the South Fremantle/Phillip Island bulldog.

The Western Bulldogs have a page with affiliated clubs listed on it:Do clubs actually care about local ripoffs? I mean I understand why they would legally but its so common, the majority of local clubs are just ripoffs rather than original art.
I had no idea that was a thing. Hey - one of my junior clubs is there.The Western Bulldogs have a page with affiliated clubs listed on it:

I'm assuming, if you are on this list, that the AFL officially recognise you as a club of their. Not sure what happens if you are not on the list.
So demon_spud, can the average Joe Bloggs sign up for AFL Brandzone or is it 'official' partners only?
Melbourne should never be forgiven for ditching the Demon in their absurd attempt to somehow capture the Chinese market, thinking the Chinese would be put off by the devil. They abandoned their heritage for a quick-fix cash grab and then didn't even bother following up on it.Can't say I agree.
