Superjack Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 23 minutes ago, Spike said: See I already knew the process and I can see what they were going for but I don't see black and white stripes, I see two poorly tacked together J's. I get what they were going for but I think it looks awful. I'll give it a go at some point, however I'm yet to see a Robin that looks "right" because Robins have such a puffy shape. I've said many times before I'm not a big fan of the Robin, mainly because I just don't find it to be an interesting creative in terms of it's looks. I did make a badge with the Robin on but it didn't go down well I'll always vote for the existing robin/bridge that I grew up with, but I have to say that if it must be revamped, this is the only design I have seen that I like. Looks smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infortunatus Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 Is it really necessary to have a football in it? We all know it’s a football club. Ditch the football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhenHarryMetAlli Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 It'll probably be something like this.. no doubt about it, there will be a Bristol Sport logo on the new crest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a VERY rough idea, cos I can’t be arsed to do it again. Sorry about colours as I did it in black biro first then coloured over so look weird and of course the sizing is wrong. But it’s relatively simple, and SL does love his stadium... Incase anyone thinks this is a serious attempt, it isn’t so insult away You didn't draw the old robin badge, did you?

Head, beak, wings, eyebrow removal? How's that? I built a new Robin from scratch using an actual photograph of a Robin as a reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this, simple to reproduce and can work well with any two colour combo, doesn’t need lettering or numbers but they could be added above or below depending on the merchandise. As a pure logo I think you got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good work @Spike that Robin is a big improvement on the previous one imo., much better design, proportions and shape. Any reason for not incorporating a bit of breast - did you think it just wouldn't work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did have a breast originally but the issue is it looks a little too "block colour" IMO, that said it can work by switching the eye like so: or even: or maybe like his breast is a football shirt-ish: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Improving all the time imo. Spike. although the date has disappeared on your latest efforts. Any chance of adding Bristol City, plus either Football Club or F.C.(or even BCFC) somewhere for comparison when you've got a moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People saying they want a robin don't realise it isn't an easily workable object to work with. Would be much more interested to see what can be created without it.

Yeah, but when you add black you're opening up a third colour meaning that applying it to other colour kits means a lot of colour switching which in many cases doesn't work. 55 minutes ago, TBW said: Try something without a robin.

Without the Robin all that is left realistically is the coat of arms or the stadium, the stadium really doesn't work as a representation of the club.

Can the red breast be split halfway up? I think the robin can be slightly bigger so his head breaks out above the bridge a bit more. On your first one the birds feet matched the lines on the ball, can the feet look more like that? I think it looks mint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRaw Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 IF the club were to retain the robin and accepting this is a predominately "red" badge on a red shirt, here's an attempt at a "modern" crest with a nod to the past......

cityed Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 I am very positive about a new badge. both the other ones are old - the coat of arms doesn't look good and is generic. The robin badge is nice for a one off but a bit budget. I know bears stuff gets abuse but it all looks great to me, clear and good on kits and branding etc. I don't expect a robin though - in the minutes from the meeting with LJ et all the other day they said they want something that is more iconic to city and that they didn't think a robin was. Suspension bridge would be a given, something referencing ashton gate maybe (not the gators!), cider - an apple tree? hmmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
