Joensuu Posted 13 May, 2010 Share Posted 13 May, 2010 4/10 IMO, you could improve the whole design simply by removing the scarf, red circle, halo, and the black curved team name. You'd end up with an attractive simple retro (ish) badge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Under Weststand Posted 13 May, 2010 Share Posted 13 May, 2010 Overall it looks good but like many on here the red blob with 125 on it doesn't quite look right. May well look better when on shirts etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aintforever Posted 13 May, 2010 Share Posted 13 May, 2010 I like the gold trim and the dates but wouldn't have replaced the football with a snooker ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castro 1 Posted 13 May, 2010 Share Posted 13 May, 2010 I like it but the 125 should be in gold like the rest of the lettering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFC Forever Posted 13 May, 2010 Share Posted 13 May, 2010 Actually HATE the 125 where the football should be...it's far too 'in your face'. Quite like the gold trim mind...it's subtle and quite 'posh' so to speak. I don't understand why we need the 125 on the crest. The two dates tell us that there is 125 years of the club. Put the ball back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 13 May, 2010 Share Posted 13 May, 2010 The '125' on the red ball is 'uckin horrible. Looks like it was designed by Fisher Price. The gold is OK, and the dates on either side, but the ball ????!!!! FFS that's what I thought, it looks terrible. like a red nose from comic relief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 13 May, 2010 Share Posted 13 May, 2010 The "125" is superfluous, better as a ball again. With the dates either side of the badge, 1885 & 2010 anyone with an ounce of intelligence will know that it is 125 years. The 125 looks like a lottery ball, complete cack in my opinion.

DT Posted 13 May, 2010 Share Posted 13 May, 2010 I think it's pretty good, although the 125 circle does look like a price sticker that supermarkets put on sausages. On the whole, though, not a bad effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buctootim Posted 13 May, 2010 Share Posted 13 May, 2010 I hate to say this, but I've never really liked our crest. It always seemed poorly designed and old fashioned. We need a new one. I never used to like it because it looked a bit 1970s and dated. Now I just think it looks deliberately retro. Agree with others the 125 is a bit carp and unneccessary. They've already put '1885' and '2010' in - were not so thick we need someone to do the maths for us as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints foreva Posted 13 May, 2010 Share Posted 13 May, 2010 I like the gold outline, but that ball ruins it for me.

benjii Posted 13 May, 2010 Share Posted 13 May, 2010 I like the revisions apart from the rather gormless "125" and red blob. That should be left how it was, or replaced with a picture of Markus' head IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simples Posted 13 May, 2010 Share Posted 13 May, 2010 On first glance I liked it and voted yes. After reading the comments about the ball looking, well, a bit comic, I find myself agreeing. I think it should be changed slightly by bringing the ball back, and changing the solid halo to a gold 125, to make the 125 look like a halo. Hope you ollow what I mean! If someone does, and who is far more cleverer :biggrin: than me, maybe they could put it up on here? Simples :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Landrew Posted 13 May, 2010 Share Posted 13 May, 2010 Well I've never been that keen on the club badge anyway, but that aside it looks OK.

Micky Posted 13 May, 2010 Share Posted 13 May, 2010 The font for the '125' is wrong, it looks too comic. Tend to agree - would have preferred that they used the font that was employed on the dates either side of the crest. Other than that though - it's growing on me.

Saint George Posted 13 May, 2010 Share Posted 13 May, 2010 Sooner they dump the whole thing the better...This could have been a perfect oportunity to create a 'professional' looking crest to replace the hideous school kid designed 'thing' we've been stuck with since the 70's Hate it...its pathetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint 76er Posted 13 May, 2010 Share Posted 13 May, 2010 If we're sticking with the basis of existing logo, then this is a really good effort. The gold outline really lifts it and brings it closer to the modern era, sort of. Not sure about the red nose, but I will live with it as, Yeah...!! that horrid football has been junked at last. Truly that cartoon football is the worst thing about the existing badge. I would like to see the 125 replaced by the word Saints maybe diagonally across the red circle in a swish written style, perhaps with each S outside the circle at each end. The 125 could go above the halo, but I agree it's not really necessary as we have the dates. Personally, I think the existing badge has had it's day (the 1970s) and I would love a modern or even futuristic style of badge for the following year. This should be simplified (not a travelogue of the area) and based on the theme that we are the Saints, IMO. If keeping the new logo after next season, then can the 125 and the shading below the circle and add the word Saints as per above and maybe replace the dates with ' Since 1885' or simply 18 - 85 either side of the shield. Do NOT go back to the existing badge as it is, it's far too Roy of the Rovers comic book and not cutting edge enough for Mr Cortese's brave new era...

SOTONS EAST SIDE Posted 13 May, 2010 Share Posted 13 May, 2010 It should be quite easy to distract you from the red ball, by angleling the 125 to give the perseption of speed (moving forward) it would of looked better i think!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stardustonmyfeet Posted 13 May, 2010 Share Posted 13 May, 2010 I always thought of the football as a head, with the scarf as the arms. Now it looks like the football's been amputated and there's a pool of blood in its place. Not that anyone will give a **** if we're promoted by this time next year.
