30 years since the age of 7. Every home game as an adult. Seen relegation and terrible owners. Ex Blues managers in our dugout. The highs b all the lows…. But this badge! Taking into account the lower grounds n the terrace view and the north stand plans being scrapped, the price hikes paired with the deterioration of anything remotely to standard in hospitality for us peasant fans. All down to Chris heck. Then this. If this is the badge I have to wear for the rest of my life… I’d rather watch the Solihull fucking moors 😩😭😭. Ps I love the current round badge, but considering our form, the football gods do too.
You're right. It absolutely doesn't look like it's been done by a professional graphic design agency. The drop shadow, the spacing, the double outline, the poor visibility of white on blue star and 1874.. But oof, that drop shadow. I hope you're right Pete.
I hope you're right but from what's been going around I really fear it's not going to be a bold modern new design, more a refresh of that amateurish, awful Lerner badge.
The moto prepared, keep are history we do have on so use it , a lion that's got attitude and round bage,the name the moto the year, gold lion claret back ground gold and light blue around cercel
I know I responded and like most gave my answers based on the round badge , but there's countless ways to measure and come up with the option they wanted ....like any opinion poll ....hence the lower grounds debacle utv
The bage needs to be like from 1874 ,not from Disney, rampant lion claret back ground golden lion , moto , use are history you can't buy it, we need use what rest any got
How difficult can it be??? I also don't think the star should be on it either... it's a club badge not our honours list... many clubs who have won the European Cup do not have star/s on their badge like Barca for example... one lion, claret, blue, yellow 🙄 I voted for the gaslamp style one I thought that was really nice 🟣🔵 what the Heck??? 😅
And what about League Titles, FA Cups, League Cups, UEFA Super Cup, Intertoto etc? 😂@@derekhollis197 its a club badge not a trophy room UTV I think it would be more classy for example if we play in the Champions League proper, we can just put a star above the badge on the shirt ⚽ one love
Respectfully disagree Pete. The club have registered the badge with the UK IPO in standard practice for any design or logo to be imminently released to market. They followed the same process with the two design consultation badges last year too. There is simply no way that this is anything other than the proposed design. Furthermore, it is consistent with the design presented to the FAB. One rather worries that Christopher Heck’s abilities have been somewhat overstated given this latest of his myriad missteps since taking the role…
I agree Pete, not sure this is the Final Cut and I would rather see the claret link remain…! Never gunna please everyone. Shirt, I would not be surprised if first drafts are already been chosen from who ever our new shirt provider is! Let’s hope for a main provider such as Adidas or Nike.
Honestly, who gives a shit about the badge. If the football is good and the results are right, nobody will care. Just like nobody cares about the current badge that we all complained about last summer.
You can care about things to different extents. Yes, every Villa fan would choose on field success over nice branding, but the issue here is whether we’d rather nice branding over whatever this is.
what do you mean we all complained? We all voted for this round badge ? which is why it’s shocking that there considering changing it! there undermining the fans choice after less than 6 months
@@ralphsharp2808 Absolutely agree. Some fans were voicing for a round badge for over 20 years now and to have it taken away - when we're doing well - for this garbage goes against the pale. Heck has zero understanding of how the fans feel and yes it does matter Alan. It matters massively. Just shrug your shoulders if the club changed colours or the name of the Holte End or anything else they chose to do without proper and full consultation? Why should the badge be any different?
@@BookishTina-tm9wq for sure, in my opinion this kind of stuff is just as if not more important than the football. If we are not a club for the fans then why does the club exist ? To make money? Hell no! Don’t even get me started e with the terrace view, holte suite nonsense !!
Yeah the majority voted for a round badge, then a load of those people complained that the lion was facing the wrong way, or that it looked too similar to Chelsea's badge or that the colours were wrong, or that the font looked stupid etc. The point is that firstly you're never going to make people happy with a new crest, and secondly nobody is still complaining about those things now we're second in the league at the turn of the year; nobody will care about whatever badge we end up with for more than a couple of months this time around either, whatever the final result is.

That's a dreadful dreadful badge
Circular badge looks more professional. I hate the yellow lion..dont get why its that colour
Tartarian badge,@_@

Its only a badge and real or not its hardly a million miles from what we have now anyway

Very happy with the round badge. This undermining of the design is doing my head in, especially with everything on the field going so well.
Round badge is awful
What happened to the motto "Prepared"?
Another great video full of context as always
It absolutely better not be the badge it's feckin hideous.
Bring back our motto - Prepared !!!
Nah, that's not how it works, you won't find early versions of our previous badges to "reserve elements".
Why can't the lion be CLARET? I hope this is bogus.
Can't see it being an intentional diversion. Diverting who? They are also trademarking a monochrome badge.
God almighty ... that is absolutely terrible, l surely hope that is not Chris Hecks idea ... lt is just SO NOT ASTON VILLA !
I hope you're right but from what's been going around I really fear it's not going to be a bold modern new design, more a refresh of that amateurish, awful Lerner badge.
4 months later and Chris Heck really make this awful badge with the shadow official 😅
Keep the circular badge!
Go back to the 80s round badge
I heard they were going back to the previous badge.
Heck OUT!!!!
No just the bage standing, Wolves are Puting standing in we need do it stand up for villa ,
This design is awful, awful, awful, I'll be gutted if it's true. I really hope that you're right
Im confused with the badge already tbh why is everyone using the round badge when the the actual club site they still use the shield?
The shield is still the official badge. The round one is just the kit badge for this season.
They use the round badge on kit and merchandise, but the shield badge for social and media purposes
Because Chris Heck is an idiot who has mucked up our identity in the space of 6 months.
I hadn't even seen that badge before this video. Haha
The only thing I really like about it is the shape with the curved top instead of flat.
It’s been all over Facebook for hours before Pete did this video
The moto prepared, keep are history we do have on so use it , a lion that's got attitude and round bage,the name the moto the year, gold lion claret back ground gold and light blue around cercel
The voice of reason
Hope your right but villa have chosen a badge and not the fans .
The fans were asked for their input, just the same as we were about the round badge before it was released

I think you’ll find a lot of Clubs who’ve won the European Cup, do have a star on their badge

Let’s hope for a main provider such as Adidas or Nike.
We can’t have Adidas, Naseef owns a percentage
The font looks like it's been hand drawn and the curve on the lettering is dreadful ! .Very unprofessional design.
Can't be real..
I really hope this is a joke.
It is horrid
