Need to update the crest because of our global reach increasing? What the fuck are they on about? No one gives a shit about a crest other than the club’s fans and the fans don’t want it to change 

This. Everyone knows what our crest is. Everyone around the world, because we’ve had it for decades. It actually stands out above all of the other wanky new crests that have assaulted our eyes over the last 10-20 years. What, the current one doesn’t work with digital platforms, how? You want it to sit swimming in a sea with a bunch of other bland, mediocre badges that some 20 year old graphic design shithead came up with, sitting proudly next to MK Dons roundabout?

No ofc not. I don’t believe that the issue of it being a “digitally replicable asset” is remotely severe enough to warrant a change. 

The club do, though, don’t they?

Not keen on the two unnecessary grey dots on the round one if pedantry is alive and well 🙂

[mattypnufc]

From my design background it’s definitely a complicated design aesthetically, especially in the current market. Every single brand goes through design changes, so it’s not something im

Particularly arsed about unless they completely fuck it up. Given the people involved at the club, compared to previous years, I trust them to do it right.

Shield in a circle no doubt.

Bearing in mind all of those new home shirts sitting in JD Sports and other outlets ready for launch, plus taking into account Adidas sign-off deadlines, I presume the crest/badge change will take effect on shirts from 25/26? But the new one might appear earlier on training/leisure wear and accessories etc across next season?

This has to be up there as one of the worst weeks in the clubs history.

 

Lose or draw against Chelsea and it's taken the number one spot.

How long before the copy cats follows?

The survey is fairly pointless, just asking to rate elements of the badge

 

Like, I want a river or maritime reference but you do that with a river rather than two seahorses, for example. And the current castle is not an important part of the badge for me, but a bigger and more prominent castle would maybe be cool. 
 

Hard to answer with anything that will be useful.

I’d like to see the Tyne Bridge incorporated somehow.

Newcastleworld claim this is a concept that has been presented to the club:

I think something like this would be ace. I imagine whatever they do will lack alot of detail though.

Can’t see them going with grayscale…it’ll almost certainly include color.

 

Change the font though and that’s a winner.

[healthyaddiction]

Didn't someone a few years back do a redesign of the current badge to make it a little more modern friendly? Anyone got a link to that at all?

I just did it and it seems like they already made the new crest and they just want our consent

 

At least from what it looks like it will be just an update of the current crest rather than a whole new thing.

[OpenC]

Coming for the black and white stripes next lads and lasses, too hard to photograph given the extreme tonal range

 

Good luck changing it and I won't be sad to see the ridiculous seahorses fucked off but this feels a bit needless at this moment like

I think much like our current version on change shirts, and similar to what Man City do with theirs, there'll be a 'mono' version of whatever it is on the change shirts.

Think Home shirt would stay as colour though.

surely that cant be genuine? It doesn't fit in with what they are telling us - the ribbon is MORE complicated than the old one!
