VampyrRabbit Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Villa should keep the roundel, the proposed crest looks really unpleasant with the yellow lion with drop shadow, typeface at the bottom and triple outlined shield. Villa were the team that popularized Claret and Light Blue as colours, it makes far more sense for the crest to be mostly those two colours and for the lion itself to be claret. The claret lion also stands out far more on the light blue than the yellow. It's also ironic that after the accusations that the Villa roundel crest was a rip off of the Chelsea logo, they gave the lion a drop shadow in the new proposed crest similar to the Chelsea lion.

So on TV you're unable to read them when they aren't zoomed in. They should have reversed the colors. Also, the crest, and sponsor logos all have a black outline and the Adidas logo is black. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway all they need to do is back to this and just it: That can't happen, and it shouldn't happen for a number of reasons. And going to that leaked crest, with it's triple outline, drop shadow and awkwardly placed team name would be an even worse decision. First off, the fan vote on the new crest, which was conducted after a survey of 12,600 fans and a number of focus groups with supporter clubs, also included a question on if they would like to keep the current crest. Only 8 percent of fans voted yes. More than 21,500 people took part in the vote, and they voted overwhelmingly for a new crest. Changing back to the old crest, or a modified version of it when 92 percent of fans want a new one would be a very bad decision and cause considerable ill feeling. Second, in the consultations, the fans wanted ASTON VILLA to be on the crest instead of AVFC, and Claret and Blue should be the dominant colours. They also said that Yellow was too prominent. The previous crest has AVFC on it and a yellow lion, which are two big points of contention when it comes to that crest. Thirdly, going back to that crest would just be kicking the can down the road. Overturning the results of a vote in which 92 percent voted for a new crest will not go down well (and it hasn't with many supporters) and there would be renewed calls change the crest. And any vote on the club crest, a roundel design will always beat any other style. As soon as the two proposed crests were unveiled, I knew the roundel would win and by a large margin, because of 1982. TLDR - Going back to that crest, or a worse version of it, after 92 percent of fans voted against keeping it would be a very bad decision.

But if they want to go with that worse version of previous logo then it's better to comeback to previous logo. By the way AV claimed to consulting this newer change with fans, but honestly after Leeds fail (they claimed to consulted with fans as well) I'm kinda sceptical about all those consultations and voting. By the way Aston Villa still using previous logo on their website and roundel is a good logo (although I'd only make star white or yellow to display it more), but people ruined it by comparing to Chelsea.

The Leeds United Supporters Trust wasn't consulted over the Gaviscon logo. For the Villa logo, it's the new version that the fans claim was done without due consultation and as far as I'm aware, there were no concerns raised with the roundel logo. 1 hour ago, pepis21 said: By the way Aston Villa still using previous logo on their website and roundel is a good logo (although I'd only make star white or yellow to display it more), but people ruined it by comparing to Chelsea. That decision to have the previous logo on the website, and for most media outlets, and to just have the roundel on the shirts and training gear, is due to Chris Heck, the Villa’s president of business operations. It was confirmed that the roundel won the vote for the new crest on November 11, and Heck was appointed in May 2023. The former Philadelphia 76ers president is the person at the club who wants the old crest back, or a worse version of it, 92 percent of voting fans be dammed.

If the Club Supporters trust comes out and states that they weren't consulted, then you should be sceptical of the claim from the club. That is why you should also take the claim from Villa (ie Chris Heck) over the new crest and consultations over it with a huge pinch of salt due to the amount of uproar and the fans contacting the FA. For the roundel logo, there wasn't any huge uproar from Villa fans and nobody contacting the FA, so the research and consultations that Villa said they did for that crest were probably true and taken in much better faith than the claims made over the Leeds logo and the new Villa logo. 14 hours ago, Pabig93 said: I miss that Leeds logo. It was really cool and they should not have rejected it. The response by the Leeds fans was overwhelmingly negative, that is a good reason why they were right to reject it as the main logo.
