Considering getting a refund on my season ticket over this s***. What's wrong with it? It is clearer and more modern than your old badge. Your old badge had horrible-ass gradients all over the show. No laurel wreaths, a tower that looks like a 5 year old tried to draw a beehive, Leeds-esque colours, no motto and just generally looking extremely cheap, tacky and amateurish. Which is exactly what it is, amateurish. I actually agree that the badge needs updating (the current version is a bit of a mess in itself) but they didn't even bring in a proper graphic design agency to modernise it, instead doing it on the cheap by letting the 'in-house design team' (aka failures who design ticket stubs for a living) loose on it. I've calmed down a bit now and won't be sending my ticket back unless we hire Iain Dowie but I do still wish a horrible death upon everyone involved in this clusterfuck In 2 days there's been universal uproar from the fanbase, a petition with almost 20k signatures against it, an anti-twitter account with a load of followers, most popular news story worldwide on the BBC and negative coverage in every paper, which tells me this won't last past next season. In their infinite wisdom, the club have already ordered millions worth of merchandise, kits, signage, fittings, stationary etc so they can't change it for the new season. Fucking mongs.

It is nowhere near as bad as the abomination that was foisted on us two years ago as our new badge, which rumour has it, was designed by Lerner himself. Using MS Paint, one assumes.

Toon Hoser Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Petitions are the hot new thing. Roma fans have launched one, and the club is responding. http://www.football-shirts.co.uk/fans/as-roma-fans-petition-against-crest-change_19986 Club President James Pallotta was stunned by the fans’ reaction. He is considering hiring Piero Gratton, the man responsible for the club crest design 30 years ago to rectify the situation and adjust the AS Roma club crest again.

Deuce Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Team logos: Better to stick with fantasy than reality For the second time in six months, Everton FC have unveiled a new club badge (or logo for American readers) and this time, thank heavens, they've nailed it. In a rare outbreak of common sense, Prince Rupert's Tower, the iconic building featured on the shirt during all but six seasons since 1938, has been restored to its full, imaginary glory. This time, it looks absolutely nothing like the real Prince Rupert's Tower. Much better. Pity the wretched in-house designers fated to work on the May edition. They have been pilloried ever since. For reasons known only to themselves, they decided that what Everton's badge really needed was a dose of reality. So while previous representations of the tower have always looked evocative and mysterious, creating the kind of tower where a wizard might hide himself away to knock out his latest grimoire, their effort was painfully true to life and thus looked unnervingly like a preschooler’s discarded plastic toy. This is the problem with Price Rupert's Tower. It’s not really a tower. It’s more of an outhouse. It's short, fat and ugly and, far from housing wizards, it looks like the kind of place where a gnome keeps his gardening equipment. It has no sash-like exterior and it evokes no mystery. It was built in 1787 as a handy place to lock up violent drunks in the middle of the night, which seems entirely appropriate given that just over 200 years later, Everton would sign Duncan Ferguson. Prince Rupert, after whom this unappealing carbuncle was named, never even saw it. He died in 1682. It only his name only because he made camp on the site during the English Civil War and used it as a base to retake Liverpool Castle. "Pah!" he scoffed when he saw his heavily fortified objective. "It is a crow's nest which any party of schoolboys could take." The subsequent battle lasted a week and killed 1,500 of his men, a critical underestimation of the enemy that was replicated last season when Everton crashed out of the FA Cup at home to Wigan. In short, dear reader, Prince Rupert's Tower is not the kind of building that looks very nice in reality. What these poor designers failed to realise is that no football fan wants to embrace reality. That's really not what we signed up for. It's not just Everton who have taken a few liberties with the truth in the badgework. On the red side of Stanley Park, a proud Liver bird stands with his head high. It is a dignified and noble beast with a tale to tell. Perhaps it is a host for the spirit of a good captain lost beneath the briny, grey waters of the Irish Channel during a long-forgotten storm. Perhaps it stands guard over Liverpool, should an enemy ever threaten their safety. In reality, there's no such thing as a Liver bird. It’s essentially a mythologised cormorant. Draw a cormorant as it really looks and you've got a club badge that stars a small, wet bird with a mouth full of seaweed. Reality is overrated. If Manchester United chose a badge that represented their real origins, they'd dump the red devil and replace it with rolling stock from the Lancashire and Yorkshire railway. It would be a much simpler story if it transpired that Everton had rushed the May design through without asking anyone, but according to their website they undertook a full consultation process with the supporters. Unfortunately, bless them, they made the mistake of inviting these supporters in and talking them through their ideas. This ensured that they were given the same feedback that you give your friend at work when he starts showing you his kids' drawings. Of course those supporters said the designs were nice, they’d been invited to Goodison Park and given tea and biscuits. Scousers, regardless of anything you may have heard, are generally lovely people. What else were they going to say? What the designers should have done is search for people's true feeling in the one place they always lurk, no matter how spiteful, evil or stupid: the comments section underneath an online article. Thankfully, that's very close to what Everton did this summer. They put three options up on the Internet and a whopping 78 percent went for a reprisal of the wizard's tower. Football fans don’t want truth. We get enough of that when the whistle blows. We want something to hold dear, something to identify with, something that we know was here before we arrived and that will linger long after we depart. It is very difficult to identify with the kind of house that looks like it belongs under a large toadstool at the back of your garden. Graphic designers, take note. This kind of thing will not be tolerated. http://espnfc.com/blog/_/name/bootroom/id/456?cc=5901 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Mags Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I suppose technically calling it a logo, isn't incorrect, but it just makes me wince. Dare I say it, but its soooo American. There were no "logos" in 1892. It's a crest or a badge. Who started this thread anyway?
