Modern but classic and a lot more online-friendly than our current crest, which is a bit too detailed to work well on screen (apologies for the marketing-speak). I do think our current crest is a bit dated and could do with a refresh. Agreed. And I really dislike the colour yellow particularly for the unicorns.

Floatn Over Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Always like the suspension bridge but its not an ideal shape for incorporating in a club badge/crest, tends to be one end of it or partly obscured. What about top right, suspension bridge over the top, robin in white space at bottom but gold the unicorns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beaverface Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Personally, any crest with a football on, just looks dated as the footballs are really old fashioned looking. Trouble is, you couldn't use a picture of a modern football as in a few years time, that'll be dated also ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Window Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Don't use the suspension bridge. Surely the architectural feature you are looking for is the metrobus guided bus bridge. That awesome structure is destined to remain lovely and clean for many more years to come while they work out how to install ticket machines. While we are on OCD, the deck of the CSB is not flat, it arches up. It also heaves alarmingly in anything over a slight breeze. 10 hours ago, CotswoldRed said: And since when has the Clifton Suspension Bridge had 3 archways in each tower Perfectly to scale for my OCD please.

'Orns Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Quite like them, @Olé - but the robin needs to look more menacing. He looks a little camp on those And it HAS to be in a roundel I'm also with @SydneyCity - lets celebrate those Freight Rover / JPT wins. I think that is brilliant!

BRISTOL86 Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 IF we do end up with a refresh it needs to get considerably less busy. Top marks for effort @Olé but all considerably too busy for my taste. I do like the simplicity of the first one posted with the robin perching on the ball but agreed the font could be better. On the right lines for me though if we do end up reverting to the robin. Can’t see a rebrand any time soon though - I think if it were in the offing it would have been done along with the stadium refit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome To The Jungle Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 As a relatively young forum member I have only known the current badge, and to be honest, for me, I wouldn't want it to change. Sentimentally I guess I'm attached to it. And for what it's worth, I love the yellow Unicorns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Red Hat Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Is it the close season already? This is the sort of thread that usually pops up when there's nothing else for us to moan about, except for the lack of signings on the first day the window opens.

Personally I think that at the moment we have something which is kind of the worst of both worlds. I think if we are going to use the crest then we need to go the whole hog and have it something like the rugby team have. It should be a traditional crest rather than a child's interpretation. At the moment we use a simplified facsimile of the crest and I am not a fan of that reduction. I would not be opposed to a new crest, a strong clear design incorporating a robin would be nice. I quite like the one in the top left of these four, perhaps in a roundel rather than a shield though, and using a stronger font with fewer curves. I love the bridge but it seems tricky to incorporate into a badge in an aesthetically pleasing way. PS. 1894! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree what you say mate, If they are going to modernise the crest then do it professionally. Like the image below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't suggesting that as a badge, rather that I would like to see something like Ernie on any new one. Obviously, it would have to be of a much higher quality image.
