This is Ryan's legacy we're talking about.
He and the commercial team need something solid on their CV's that isn't just "hired Mark Hughes, crossed our fingers" lol

Very dodgy the way they're wording the post. This has not been a good look for the club from the off. The club have been getting so much right but decide to bring a divisive topic into the picture. The new badge looks awful no point beating around the bush with it. Massive own goal from everyone involved at the club if this goes ahead.

The club have been very sneaky and underhand about this. Even the survey is heavily loaded towards the new crest, i mean 4 of the 5 questions were yes to the change answers, it's no wonder the results are what they are.

Voted C, no idea what anyone would see in the first two. The text and stripes in the shield looks like something from clip art.

I might be a heretic but I don’t give a damm about the club crest. But let’s face it the bantam is a small chicken so a complete rebrand would be better. Imagine the outcry

I mean, you can have all the fancy advertising boards you want but if we're in the conference North with vastly reduced crowds there's not that many going to want to advertise unless it's at a heavily reduced rate.Ulysses S Grant, trevor and Storck like this. -

Ultimately this has been a poorly handled waste of money.
Once the club committed to changing the crest, they should've stuck to it and not offered the current badge as an option. But then again, they paid the price for some truly awful designs and were put to shame by amateurs on twitter.Jayteebee, Dennis and Stafford Bantam like this. -
I have said before your current badge is awful from a branding pov. It's a problem really with a lot of traditional badges, they were designed before branding was really a thing and were intended more as coats of arms (many even using their town/city crest as a basis) but that causes a conflict because clubs need to increase their reach through marketing, getting international fans in especially.
Even just on the shape, it's problematic as for branding its better when the height and width are equal which is why most badge rebrands end up being circles (Well unless you are Man City where you always had a round badge great for marketing only to then change it to a more old fashioned one, including 3 stars above despite never having won the European Cup. Although they then reverted back to a round badge). It is also too fine in detail in some places, you need more complete and deliberate lines not lots of small detail lines. I have been doing a lot of research into enamel pins recently and for example, your badge would be almost impossible to make a soft enamel pin from.
The key to a good rebrand of the badge is that you modernise it and make it better for branding and merchandising but which is able to capture elements of the old oneStop hovering to collapse...

The current one is pretty ugly and an awkward shape, but I'd be disappointed if we went to a cookie cutter circular logo... Everyone's doing that.
Also, I wouldn't really want us going for a simplistic bantam like in the 1903 logo. It just ends up looking like clip art.
However i wouldn't lose any sleep over it. But it would be nice to see a design that exceeded expectations before a decision was made in that regard.Rudie and TallinnBantam like this. -

At the end of the day, we are currently a league 2 club why do we need to rebrand? Why do we need to have instantly recognisable crest?
Most people in the country will know who we are from the colours anyway. We aren't also going to have a sudden influx of supporters buying merchandise that we produce simply because we have a new crest. The same people who buy kits now will buy it then.
To much I think this could cause a rift between club and fans that simply doesn't need to happen and that the club would see very little benefit from, not to mention the cost of having to change the logos that currently everywhere aside from kits etcBronco and borderlescott like this.
