The new crests/badges/logos thread

[Discordant Resonance]

Bray Wanderers ditch their controversial 2023 crest, but the 2024 version could still be improved:

[JoeysToe]

I've just been given the opportunity to give my opinion on Cambridge United's proposed new crest as I'm on the club's email list, presumably from buying tickets last Boxing Day.

I think it's shite.

The reasons given for changing are similar to Oxford's when we last moved the Ox about on our crest - fast growing city, world famous, marketing opportunities, blah, blah, blah... I'm so grateful we've got Desmond Morris' wonderful design at the centre of our badge, whatever nonsense is added around it.

Bring me to Chris, the Roscommon sheep.

[Discordant Resonance]

GAA, rather than football, but Roscommon need to make a rapid alteration to their county crest, as the current version features the "wrong" breed of sheep:

Incorrect:



Correct:



And the full story.

[Nesta]

Well, as they're just starting out I wouldn't want to 'knock' them, ohoho

[Discordant Resonance]

Newly-formed Mayo FC with a rather generic effort:

[3 Colours Red]

Although to be positive, they have moved away from the roundel unlike seemingly every other club who's had a new crest in the last decade.

Merci, madame

PS the new St Etienne badge isn't great. Looks like a generic badge for a fake football club you'd find on a free vector site

Every French schoolchild is taught that the Loire rises at the Mont Gerbier de Jonc in Auvergne (literally the only time you'll hear about that mountain in any context)

Not to bore you but in the French language there's a difference between a rivière (bog standard river that joins another river) and a fleuve (big river that goes all the way to the sea, there's only 6) and when two rivers join the naming convention is that the single river formed takes the name of the wider of the two rivers, and the narrower one is the tributary, and this continues all the way to the sea. Well the Allier (which also rises in Auvergne and joins the Loire near Nevers) is wider than the Loire at the confluence of the two so the whole fleuve should have been called the Allier instead. Justice for the Allier! Sorry that was exceedingly boring wasn't it.

I used to live in the Loire valley, absolutely hated the place. Been dragged to all the castles a million times as a kid, Cheverny is the only good one because of all the Tintin stuff

[MrLeam]

Decades ago, the only bearable part of French lessons were the frequent occasions when our teacher would want a nap so would turn off the lights and bung into the video recorder the latest French instructional VHS. Every episode would have a section on French culture, which would invariably include a bloke declaring in heavily accented English that "In the Lwaaaaah Vallaaaaaay therrrre arrre many chateaux..."

[Sits]

Well I didn’t know that about the Loire and as ua suggests when I think Loire I think Loire Valley/Chateaux and west coast.

I’d assumed the Rhone was the longest. I was wrong.

[Nocturnal Submission]

It is the prefecture of the département of Loire, and the inclusion of that in the club's name reflects financial support they receive from that level of government,

I find a tendency amongst Anglophones to think of the river as the but with the chateaux, when there is really lot more than that, what with it being the longest river in the country.

Oh, with me it's more just a relatively limited knowledge of the geography of France, but I tend to think of the Loire as being in the west of the country instead of it being L-shaped and rising in the central-south.

I find a tendency amongst Anglophones to think of the river as the bit with the chateaux, when there is really lot more than that, what with it being the longest river in the country.

[Nocturnal Submission]

Yes, that's nice. It's also alerted me to the fact that the city is close to the Loire, which I hadn't realised.

I think this might be a rare win in the new logos category. Saint-Etienne

Can't figure out the source from the mangled code that shows up with quoting.

DO NOT ATTACH FILES, FOLKS.

USE THE BUTTON.

Or indeed, sometimes [IMG]Picture[/IMG] can be easiest, if the picture button can't detect the size of the image.

[3 Colours Red]

Well, JSON's something to do with JavaScript, innit?

[ursus arctos]

it’s good but it’s not quite right. “You’re going the wrong way, mate!”

If you quote them, sometimes you'll see a JSON error instead of the usual image tags.

[Nocturnal Submission]

Another missing image.

Is this a problem my end Snake Plissken ? If you can help?

I'm not seeing images on a number of threads, FWIW. Sometimes there's a small icon, sometimes just an empty space.

Is it just a coincidence that she bears something of a resemblance to newly elected Angels chairperson Sophie Purves? I suppose that would be one way of really stamping your authority over the club.

As noted elsewhere, Sophie is the sister of erstwhile York chair Jason McGill, but the job role is where the similarities end. Sophie is absolutely brilliant and I wish she were still at our club.

[ursus arctos]

I think she is wearing a skirt, or maybe a skirted bodysuit.

Very Munchian in my book.
