General NUFC stuff: club crest to be changed (Official)

[AyeDubbleYoo]

It ‘sounds’ like they have a good understanding of what we will accept and/or hate. So it will be a challenge for the designers to achieve the objective without making it too far removed for people to like. 

[The Butcher]

Fuck right off.

[Kid Icarus]

It's bullshit like. The consultation should be on whether it changes, not what it changes to. I wouldn't mind at all if it was a clean up - the current badge does have accessibility and digital recreation issues, but more often than not I think those issues are either nonsense (not in our case) and/or used as an excuse to make massive changes that everyone hates.

I’m not against it or anything, I just don’t get the point. Does a badge really make any difference?

Probably be the Saudi scabbards underneath an image of the tree that was felled from the Sycamore Gap.

Just done the survey and my feedback was to avoid something like what Juve currently have. I want them to incorporate as much as possible from the current crest but not fussed if they do away with the ribbon.

I’d expect like remove the name, maybe remove the lion and flag, simplify the other parts and maybe reshape it somehow into a shield or circle. Seahorse tongues back in their gobs. 
 

There are probably loads of examples on the internet already.

I both like the current crest and have no issue with it being modified in a tasteful, clever way. I actually enjoy a lot of bold, modern design (wolves was excellent) but this feels like it’s going to be very minimal indeed, so hopefully everyone can be equally unhappy with the result.

100% this. 
 

For the actual benefit I don’t know why you’d piss people off. 

[Zero]

This won’t end well.

 

Its just impossible to design a new crest that everyone associated would be satisfied.

Same feelings. Thing it could be good. I’m generally not nostalgic though and more excited about change than about history.

Based on what we've heard, updates to the current club crest should be minimal and therefore Refine & Revive is our recommended approach

How about we just see what happens, eh?

[GEFAFWISP]

Can't wait for the insipid garbage they trot out when describing the aesthetic choices.

 

We picked a slice of green around the curved edge to denote the Tyne Bridge while the brown evokes feelings of rust (nothing Saudi related honest)...

Did it get sent to you by email or is it in the members' section or something?

Please, please just let the new crest be ai generated for maximum carnage

Sunderland when we reveal our new badge/crest

[Joe_F]

Why? There's nowt wrong with the one we've got. Fuck right off.

[The Prophet]

Seems they're intent on scrapping any kind of tradition linked to the club in the pursuit of cash. The beautiful game.

I mean, I agree but surely there’s lots of symbolism in the current badge already? 

[Jaqen]

Survey is just lip service everyone knows the real decisions are made at Stack. 

[Kid Icarus]

It'll come as no surprise that I'll be suggesting they work with Ash Willerton and use that badge that he did as a template.

How will this make us any cash though ? 

[HaydnNUFC]

Even though the cost of reproducing it stuff is clearly horseshit, I don't why they couldn't keep the current crest exactly as is but with one of the crests from the 80s on the kits similar to how Liverpool have done where they have just the Liverbird on the kits with LFC underneath but they have their more detailed badge still as the main crest.
