The outline should be in the shape of a warehouse drawn using crime scene tape, and the interior should contain a jet washer, a Turkish kebab, a parcel tape dispenser, and a homeless camp at a bus stop, to better reflect our modern heritage. They should replicate the 80s badge but the quadrants should feature (L-R) a betting slip, a turd, Jon Coates puzzled face, and a Groundhog. Need to work the incinerator in somehow. |

There’s going to be a mass debate. I do that several times a day That's not easy to pull off. |

Wasn’t the blue trim in the current badge to do with the Icelandic national colours, as they owned the club at the time? In fact, even the red stripes served a double purpose as a subtle reference to the Red Cross in the Icelandic national flag, in much the same way that the red stripes on our shirts are a reference to the red cross in the city’s coat of arms. Well the Icelanders are long gone, so perhaps that badge should follow them and we restore a more pertinent and contemporary reference to our longer heritage. I like the quartered design mentioned earlier, an update on the 1980s version. See previous post Nothing to do with Iceland You’re right about the US design team but I distinctly remember that when it was launched and it was mentioned in official sources that the blue trim was a reference to the Icelandic ownership. In flags and badges, everything is symbolic, so why else would there be such a random colour as blue, something that has never been associated with the club, apart from one of the early Victorian kits? |

Same, I’d vote for that if they put it to us fans. |

It’s fine. There’s no need to change it. Far more pressing issues. This forum didn't get where it is today by not discussing things there's no need to change. |

In the spirit of repetition of this endearing topic, I will repeat my assertions that:
The blue is not Icelandic
We cannot use the Stoke on Trent city crest
Sticking extra detail on the existing badge is not a re-design
A re-design is unnecessary
If a re-design were to take place it should be put to tender for identity design specialists to pitch for, not a competition launched in the Evening Sentinel or on social media
I want to re-design the badge but see all of the above.

It won’t be long until the badge is just a portrait of Jon Walters

considering the age of the club, our badge should reflect the heritage of it and the local area. It should absolutely be the attached, not the full city crest. We need to get rid of the complete abomination of a badge we have now. Makes us look a load of cheapskates who don't give two cares in the world about how we're perceived. I don't want some re-design from anyone giving it some dogshit 21st century 're-imagining', i want intricacy in the design, history, pride and meaning. Not block-colours and stright lines that are akin to the shit show we currently have. i don't want to hear about 'it'll cost more' either, teams in divisions below us have better badges and nowhere near the budget we do. Brilliant badge but we wouldn't be able to copywrite it so won't happen Shame A scythe and a camel, maybe not but the SCFC one will always be the greatest for me. Up to date version perhaps. Leeds have gone back to the smiley one I noticed after a disaster of a new one. The current one isn't as bad as some make out. Are some I really hate, Coventry, Birmingham Bournemouth and Wolves have cool up to date ones Ipswich always liked and West Ham |

Is that a reference to this morning's crazy (even by our standards) events and having enough rope...? Rope, cyclical chaos, spinning helplessly into yet another void, take your pick. Stick in a bottle oven in the middle, write something in latin below and job done, the new club crest. Thank you AI! Edit: lose the bottle oven, and replace with a falling man wearing red and white stripes, a la Saul Bass' majestic poster art for Hitchcock's Vertigo. |

Mr Davies said he came up with the angular design after a teacher asked him to demonstrate an understanding of Blaise Pascal's Hexagrammum Mysticum Theorem, and entered it in an art competition advertised in the Express and Star newspaper. Mr Davies had made a copyright claim and wanted compensation. Mr Davies lost his copyright infringement claim and now faces legal fees and costs estimated to be about £450,000." Oopsie. |

Sounds like something they teach at Hogwart's.  On a wider note, I'd be interested to hear your opinions on AI and its use in Graphic design. Although I suspect I'd need to book a place on a course! |

They updated the Wolf head about 20 years ago...eyes etc and got rid of the Wolf shaped actual head badge. Looks far better |

It's shit, but needs to be explored and understood much better than it currently is. That's the top and tail of it. It isn't just AI, its all the developments that led up to it. One example being, that over the last decade, young persons cognitive abilities to ingest visual information has sky rocketed (a good thing) but reading speeds and concentration spans have plummeted (a very bad thing). Information is literally speeding up. Whilst the advancement of technology is outpacing human comprehension (disclaimer, this is disputed in some academic circles), we are at the point where something Very Very Big will change in the human consciousness and the ways in which we process visual information. Seeing as you asked, I'm working on a research project right now, that kind of predicts* AI, or more pertinently, the relationship between visual memory and design. Expect it to be published in time for the unveiling of our twentieth manager after this one. *the trouble with this, is the paradox of predicting technological change before it happens. Essentially, I'm researching visual memory and its impacts on design education through time travel. I'm loving it but its cooking my mind. |
