If it all goes to rot we could always try to get a foot in the door of the US by renaming ourselves the Trash Pandas Maybe we could use a red panda for home games and a normal panda for away games?

Spike Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 So I just spent a little time with Magic Man's concept (which is great and has been received well) and made a few changes, one suggested by @BS4 on Tour... about the Robin facing the Mem and my own change to make the Bridge easily identifiable by those who do not realise what it is. I also included the design in a few colour schemes that it may be used with: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 @Spike Your bridge is a great improvement imo. Think the Robin may need a further bit of tweaking - tail sticking out doesn't look right to me - and the whole bird, covering much of the the bridge and rising above it, perhaps too big? Overall, good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dredd Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 I agree. Liking the concept but the robin looks a bit cartoony. Shame the club is probably likely to do nothing like this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBW Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Still think it looks crap and amatuer. Look at that besides Brentford, Ajax or PSG badges. It's so poor. Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City have rebranded over the past decade and all look better for it. Leave it to the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way the Robin can look modern and actually "work" on a badge whilst giving us a look as a forward thinking club. 12 hours ago, TBW said: Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City have rebranded over the past decade and all look better for it. Are Arsenal and Chelsea not forward thing clubs? Arsenal and Chelsea are clearly not rebranding via their badges. Arsenals nickname is part of their club emblem.

The 2 tone colour also looks shocking. No, no, no, no You're more than entitled to your opinion but if you genuinely think it looks like a 12 year old designed it then you obviously have no clue when it comes to graphic design. As I've said before, it doesn't matter what someone designs, I've designed a far more complex one but any minimal design will look basic as that is what it's designed for. Our current badge is far more costly to put into an embroidered badge which is more than likely why the club is looking to change the design, much like many other clubs they're looking for something that is instantly identified by also far less costly to print /embroider. I've dealt with this for years, everyone is insulting of other people's ideas /designs until they have to come up with their own. Honestly, have a go, I'll put money on more people having criticisms than compliments. Changing our clubs crest /logo is an impossible task if you're aiming to please everyone, exactly why I've argued that it should stay the same but it would appear that years of people saying they want change has given the club a chance to actually make that change and I can honestly see us ending up with something horrifically basic and dull. 28 minutes ago, TBW said: Please, no.

Think the bird needs a bit of reshaping and positioning with the bridge but overall it says everything it has to! The scale of the bird against the bridge is good, sort of shows the dominance of bcfc within the city of Bristol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
