New Everton Crest Confirmed

[davek]

Boy, this has got you angry.

Not really. Just a waste of time.

I guarantee anyone off this forum could choose for the rest of us a design that'd receive majority backing. If we can do that why cant people who work for the organisation? Do we think that if Alan Myers came up with a choice and presented it to us we'd all pretty much say 'yeah, not bad, go with that'? I think we would too. In other words they're making a song and dance out of this when they just need to act sensibly.

The OS says they are responsible for consulting the fans, or something. They ain't designing it.

They are:

Independent of the Club, Kenyon Fraser will collate all the suggestions, ideas and feedback from supporters. They will review, interpret and then create design options for the fanbase to vote on.

There's no contradiction there. I was referring to how they'd been told umpteen times in the build up to that abortion's introduction that it wouldn't work and it should be stopped.

But then you say "Literally anything close to what went before would be acceptable.". Except they won't, the last two just don't work with the way crests are used these days. They are simply too cluttered. The last two with the motto underneath just look daft when reduced down, they look like a tower sticking up from undergrowth, the one before that was truly stupid but managed to last nearly two decades.

Its supposed to be a simple symbol of the club that can be scaled up or down without losing too much impact, not a history of the club.

Design isn't that easy. Pleasing our fanbase, universally, is even more difficult.

Unbelievable that someone as argumentative as you can't see that.

Same here mate, maybe not exactly that but something simple like that without it being surrounded by an overweight shield.

The wreaths look out of place to me mate. Otherwise top effort (if you designed it).

My preference is still the brilliant design a few pages back that <goes to find it>

This:

Brilliant.

Aye those are beautiful, but they still lack the Nil Satis

But we're not about Nil Satis any more. It's a complete piss take. What is Nil Satis about Everton since the 80s? I would have no problem jibbing it off and keeping it as a fond memory of when we were good in the 80s. Why have a motto that is completely not reflected in anything the club does?

Actually, these I quite like, though I would lose the 1878 if it were me, we know when we were founded, don't think it matters to anyone else.

There is a comparison done near the start (here) that was designed to show up our new badge against the others, but whats interesting about it is the relative simplicity of the others. Few have any extraneous small writing on them (Chelsea is a bit of an exception) and they mainly go for a single symbol that people just associate with the club. No-one else seems to excessively go in for explaining how old they are, how they've won stuff previously or what their motto is, because that shouldn't be the role of the crest.

Thats a winner for me right there! I'd buy the kit if that were the badge on it.

They did it without fuss for 93 years. Why everyone thinks they have to have input on this very simple task is beyond me. See that design on the previous page? That'll do. If they printed that on everything I'd guarantee the vast majority would accept it. It's THAT simple.

Knowing Kenwright he'll have a designer photoshop him walking up the steps of the tower or leaning out of the window.

I've said before about these, they're overkill. Far too much going on and would be awkward to replicate digitally and in the media, that's the key point here. It needs to be simpler

Those wreath designs are ace fair play.
