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:

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

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

You should change the latin to read (translated) as "best viewed when drunk"

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.

Strangely enough they are actually robins (clip-art at least) I just wanted then in silhouette!
Not very good I admit!

No I think the over all effect is good. I think it's time we had a new badge. 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?

It's about 100 times better than the current one, which looked naff and eighties, and very outdated from the day it was introduced.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?

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!
