FGM13 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I dunno, I don't hate it. It would work a lot better as a secondary logo, though. GO OILERS-GO BLUE JAYS-GO ESKIMOS-GO COLTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashcarson15 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I like the “J as crest outline” type idea a lot better from Germany’s Jahn Regensburg than this. I just don’t see it having a particularly great application much of, well, anywhere. I’m just not a fan really at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now this looks a lot better with the addition of the stars. The Juve logo has always been quite iconic, I think this may be the start of other clubs going this way, football clubs are becoming more than football clubs, they are branching out and becoming brands and unfortunately crests don't work well visually with the style they want to portray.

M4One Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 It looks good for a clothing/lifestyle brand logo, but as for a football team that is as old as Juventus, it looks out of place. If it was enclosed in a shield or roundel, it might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendocfc Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 It would be much,much better if it was framed by an actual shield; it would make it look more like a footy crest than a brand logo.Right now it looks too much like a secondary mark,as others have mentioned.

(it's actually kind of minimalist and clever, but i'd have probably chickened out and added a key line to reinforce the shield shape like above.

aawagner011 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Here's the logo encased in a traditional shield, which helps a bit. Also the same Twitter account on the first photo mocked up the logo in action. I see what Juve were trying to go for but not sure it really works. Needs some kind of containing shape like the first picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayne Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I don't know - it feels clunky and devoid of any finesse....but then again it will probably grow on me and I'll end up being okay with it. Is this the beginning of a new ultra-minimalist trend with football team badges? Maybe the traditional crest is going to go extinct for a while and we'll see a surge in futuristic interpretations of classic designs. Could be interesting. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself.

Bayne Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Btw based on those mockups, I definitely prefer it not enclosed in a shield shape. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFB Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I think it's smart and wonderful. Just some thoughts: It shows that Juventus understand their own brand (essentially, they are the universally recognized black and white soccer club), and that they have a long-term vision for their brand in the future that expands beyond just being a soccer team. With the amount of clubs that share colors, the commonality and constant switching of apparel manufacturers (it feels like 90% of the big leagues are shared between Nike, Adidas, and Puma), and the random and rampant sponsor-ism of professional soccer (how many teams are sponsored by Fly Emirates), how many clubs are identifiable solely by their crest on the pitch? Yes, the kits themselves are normally the primary identifier, but ask yourself what's the real difference between a Bayern Munich kit and a Manchester United kit this year? Soccer crests are so small and players are almost always moving, so with almost every club having a shield or crest of some kind, doing something to separate yourself from the field with a logo that is incredibly simple and easy to understand is a great strategy. Everyone has been lamenting the loss of the old logo, but what is Juventus really losing in the old crest that actually made it iconic? The oval shape was unique, but Juventus has used circle and shield shapes similar to the new design in their history as well. Is it the loss of the horse/bull/zebra and the crown? Because apparently Juventus themselves can't figure out and decide on which animal to use. Is it the gold arch; because I thought this was the black/white soccer team? I'd argue that the most important part is the black and white stripes, and not only do those stay, but now they're given meaning by allowing them to give shape to the Juventus "J." Those of you saying that it looks great for an apparel or lifestyle brand but not for a soccer club, the line between those two is blurring more and more by the day. One could argue that supporting a specific club is a lifestyle brand (try asking Real Madrid fans to wear stripes or Chelsea fans to wear red). Imagine you're kicking a ball around with some friends and so the ball is constantly spinning and in motion. Then a player receives a pass, puts his foot on top of the ball, and the ball stops for an instant. You look down for a split second and you see this: Had you not known which club's logo was on the ball, your brain would still be able to register that the logo was a J made out of black and white stripes... all in a fraction of a second. If it's a club with a regular crest or shield, it probably doesn't register with you. Granted, if you're familiar with the club already like a Barcelona or Man U or Real Madrid, then you might be able to recognize it by the shape alone in a fraction of a second. However, if you're not familiar with soccer clubs, you'd probably wouldn't know. The new logo is better served to represent the club across all forms of media and print (it works better at all sizes as an avatar, profile picture, animation, etc). It's flexible and easy to use, which makes proper-use incredibly simple for third parties like TV networks, apparel companies, and soccer catalogues. It's instant recognition for a fast-moving and attention-deprived world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Tsubasa Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I am so torn on this one. I don't want to like it, but I really really do. Also, what @GFB wrote is spot on. I terms of branding, the new logo works much more effectively than the old one. After it settles in a bit more it will trigger instant recognition.

hawk36 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 In the end I feel it's too trendy. Will be great for 3-5 years and then fans will long for the timeless shield motif as the "J" will look dated. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
