HaydnNUFC Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 But it’s our best, one of the best in the country and shouldn’t be tampered with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Hopefully someone who's good at the logo mockups can give that leak a go instead of us looking at a shite quality version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Pundit Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) Best I can do on my break in Paint 3D Not too dissimilar to the current badge, just simplified really I suppose.

You're obviously welcome to that opinion. But "The badge is the badge and should never be tampered with." just doesn't make sense when the badge has changed multiple times, and isn't actually THAT old.

Checko Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Can we at least get rid of the horrible, garish shade of blue on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I just don't see a way the new badge will be better than what we have. It's that good, best in the league by far. But if they can create a quality replacement it might not be too bad. Fingers crossed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, but they raised some fair points in the presentation regarding the various inconsistencies with the current design. I'd fully support it being tidied up in line with this one that's been discussed a few times on here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CbiWY6isPov/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 17 hours ago, Big River said: praise the lord. hopefully they just go with something like the Ash Willerton design. with a few little tweaks it's pretty much perfect. as we're here, might as well fix the flag and improve readability with a white NEWCASTLE UNITED against a darker (more traditional) blue. I'll quote this again as being the absolute perfect way to make adjustments for our badge. Would be 100% supportive of this type change. I also would 100% support going back to the older 2 we had as well. I would love if the club just used multiple and had a "kit" badge and a main badge like the above.

Weezertron Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 What they leaked is fucking weird. It's like an GCSE Art exercise. Draw a recognised logo in a contrasting style. I'd give that 14 year old a good mark, but it would look utter shit on a shirt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another is a ‘dumbing down’ of the colours on the badge to the 125 years badge from 2017-18; Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Doesn't anyone else think it's weird that we've got the lion popping out of the top of the castle like he's just won a game of hide and seek? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only there cos it's on the city crest though, not like they've grabbed that from nowhere and chucked it on the club crest for a laugh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 So maybe now all those people losing their heads on Twitter about how the club is selling its soul by changing the badge can quieten down now. It seems clear they are going to be updating/modernising the current badge rather than a drastic change to an entirely new badge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) Why does the left seahorses paw or whatever it's got fit perfectly in the gap but the right one's doesn't. First time I've noticed that. Get rid of it. Edited May 15 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checko Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Got rid of the horible blue. The flag on the Newcastle city crest is a red and while cross so really don't need it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
