Title: New badge Post by: janaage on Thursday, June 27, 2013, 18:30:12 I know our current badge isn't that old, and isn't due to be replaced, but a friend of mine just posted this effort on FB. Have to say I thought I'd hate it as I clicked the link, but I like it, a lot.
Not that a change is going to happen, I wondered what the thoughts of the masses were? http://www.russellpurdy-graphicdesign.com/#!untitled/zoom/c1559/image1jg2 Title: Re: New badge Post by: donkey on Thursday, June 27, 2013, 18:48:30 I know our current badge isn't that old, and isn't due to be replaced, but a friend of mine just posted this effort on FB.

And it follows the rule of tincture (which our current badge does not. >:() Title: Re: New badge Post by: Batch on Thursday, June 27, 2013, 19:05:05 I like it, but I like a bit of tradition too. Not that we've had a consistent badge over the years. I like the train being on there, prefered the 80's/pre-prem 90's version though

We didn't make rails, we made choo choos. CHOO CHOOS! Nice effort mind. Title: Re: New badge Post by: dagrumpymunki on Thursday, June 27, 2013, 19:45:24 It's good, but I've never been keen on the whole Robin thing. Every other fucking team with a red shirt has that nickname including two near neighbours. Even Charlton who've got at least two other perfectly good nicknames use it.
And I agree with Honkytonk I want a train on my Swindon badge. Title: Re: Re: New badge Post by: sonicyouth on Thursday, June 27, 2013, 20:33:05 We could be the redstarts.
Title: Re: New badge Post by: Processed Beats on Thursday, June 27, 2013, 22:28:13 My first thought on it was: Morecambe. Probably because of the shape of it more than anything.

A vaguely remember a few of us doing are own mock up badges :)
Title: Re: New badge Post by: Matt71 on Friday, June 28, 2013, 08:16:21 I can't view it just go to his website ,will someone copy and paste it on here?
Title: Re: New badge Post by: Benzel on Friday, June 28, 2013, 08:20:12 Just copy and paste the whole link...
It's not bad, I'm not massively keen on the shape of the badge though. Title: Re: New badge Post by: Ƭ̵̬̊: The Artist Formerly Known as CWIG on Friday, June 28, 2013, 09:15:41 Copy and pasting the link and still not working...

Every other fucking team with a red shirt has that nickname including two near neighbours. Even Charlton who've got at least two other perfectly good nicknames use it. Agreed and for this reason i don't like the badge Think the team should consider a change of nicknames myself, they barely get used but would give the club some identity Title: Re: New badge Post by: Reg Smeeton on Friday, June 28, 2013, 09:24:44 Was that an fb effort? A vaguely remember a few of us doing are own mock up badges :) Reckon fB was behind it, but remember people made suggestions then he put them in, or not depending. Still makes me laugh looking at that. Could we do another one to bring it up to date for the current situation?

Agree... have to say I love the badge visually. If it had a train and our motto on it i'd be happy with it adorning our shirts. For that matter, who made up our motto?! Health and industry!?

That's the Town motto, not just the football club. http://www.flickr.com/photos/swindonlocal/3651405206/ Title: Re: New badge Post by: skay on Friday, June 28, 2013, 11:16:31 :pint:

Title: Re: New badge Post by: jayohaitchenn on Friday, June 28, 2013, 15:58:08 It's the coat of arms of Swindon.
Title: Re: New badge Post by: Ƭ̵̬̊: The Artist Formerly Known as CWIG on Friday, June 28, 2013, 19:05:14 Works now, wasn't happening earlier at work.
Not a bad effort at all but prefer our current one. |
