Title: Design your own Swindon badge... Post by: BrightonRed on Wednesday, February 8, 2006, 12:43:57 I'm bored so I had a go...
I don't have any decent software and I'm not particularly creative so this is the best I could do with powerpoint! I wanted to put the old crest in the top right corner but I can't find a decent enough image.. Anyway here you go: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y98/trebblej82/Logosmall.jpg Criticise away!

As you said the sold badge in the empty panel would look good. Maybe some white in the gree and red stripped panels

Post by: mattboyslim on Wednesday, February 8, 2006, 13:08:49 I like the idea of a bit of latin in there like the old 'Salubritas et Industria' (SP?) I think it menas healthy and industrious. IMHO we should ditch the green, no real reason to add it in the first place in 1991. Were we actually founded in 1879 or wa it 1881? Nice blackbirds too :wink:

Title: Design your own Swindon badge... Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Wednesday, February 8, 2006, 13:31:15 I actually think that is quite good. Presumably on the real thing, if ever there was one, you would have a couple of robins where those black birds are?
Also, I would place it in the middle of the shirt. I think that looks better. Title: Design your own Swindon badge... Post by: BrightonRed on Wednesday, February 8, 2006, 13:43:25 Quote from: "OOH!

The club could make a competition out of it and the winner gets a couple of season tickets or something.
What do you reckon Mr D? Title: Design your own Swindon badge...

Title: Design your own Swindon badge... Post by: Lumps on Thursday, February 9, 2006, 20:11:32 It's about 100 times better than the current one, which looked naff and eighties, and very outdated from the day it was introduced.
Do you do this sort of thing for a living? Title: Design your own Swindon badge... Post by: reeves4england on Thursday, February 9, 2006, 20:17:12 You need to find out if people actually want a new badge first before you go and jump in. But I personally would support the idea. Not that i am any good at that sort of thing!
Title: Design your own Swindon badge... Post by: Leggett on Thursday, February 9, 2006, 21:04:18 current badge sucks balls, lets be honest.
Title: Design your own Swindon badge... Post by: ST_INC on Thursday, February 9, 2006, 21:15:00 For what its worth, i think the current badge is great.
Title: Design your own Swindon badge... Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Thursday, February 9, 2006, 21:23:05 i like the old railway one :D its much better than the one now!
Title: Design your own Swindon badge... Post by: Spencer_White on Thursday, February 9, 2006, 21:36:26 I dont like it at all. Sorry Brighton Red. You cant have two old badges in the quarters, it would never get made. And the blackbirds posing as robins are shit too.
Fair play for having a good crack though. My favourite is also the old railway one. But I dont think the current one is so bad. Just needs a bit of sprucing up. Few more outlines etc. Title: Design your own Swindon badge... Post by: flammableBen on Thursday, February 9, 2006, 22:13:28 I've had a bit of a go..
Not your traditional badge shape but thought we could go for something a bit different. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d35/flammableben/train.jpg Obviously the trains are because of the towns railway links. The elephant is there because everybody loves elephants, harder to draw than you'd think aswell. The was gonna be a giraffe in there aswell but I got bored trying to draw one.
