Is the Demon Back?

[Mousey 47]

Was just watching before the bounce on fox and they were talking about Stynes and Billy said one thing he wanted to do was bring back the demon and do away with melbourne fc?

How does everyone feel about it?

Although i came to accept melbourne fc i think i would welcome back the demon logo with open arms and be known as the demons!

[Gorgoroth 13,021]

I'd prefer the Demon logo, I have always liked it.

[Jack7 528]

Bring back the fiery Demon.

We're not soccer club. :angry:

Definitely bring back the demon logo. I can understand what they were trying to achieve, but it was never a good move i think......

[Little Goffy 14,639]

Well, I still thinks it's a storm in a teacup, but people do really seem to be pretty attached to the Demon.

That said - the basic insignia of red and blue is much more visable and recognizable, more easily included in any marketing campaign, and easier to include in packaging designs on merchandise. It's also possible to put slogans across the red and blue background for a bold effect.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still wearing my old gear (right now actually - that's a warm jumper they make) with the demon logo on it, and I love it. I'm also very attached to the title 'Demons' with all it's history - does anyone thing the Hawthorn coach cae out one day and said 'play like hawks', or Collingwood were called the Magpies for any reason other than it was the only black and white thing they could think of?

BUT - the demon logo is too complicated, with pieces, and faces, and stylisations. It simply doesn't do the job as a logo being immediately recognisable with instant impact.

Never lose the Demons from our heritage, damn right. But the simpler logo works for me, and I think it would be a waste to go through the process of yet another rebranding.

If we're so worried about identity, the absolutely... Better to have something than nothing.

[Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,294]

It never left in my mind. We are the Demons! Simple as that.

[Demon Rob 2]

I'm sick of being the Fuchsias. The sooner the Demon is back the better.

hmm, lets see if www.demons.com.au is restored yet....

[Hards 2]

Good.

I'm not sure who passed the MelbourneFC concept but taking the most image most easy to identify with the Melbourne Footy Club away and replacing it with a bland no soul MelbourneFC was kidding themselves.

[MrMoose 262]

Will ALWAYS be the Demons.

Whoever took that away from the MFC this year, no matter what the reason, I hope has been sacked!.

Long Live The Demons

Yes bring it back for sure.

I specifically wear my old DEMONS beanie to all games I attend rather than my newer hat without that wording!

[Deeoldfart 8,063]

What do we all yell at each and every game we attend? ....... no more need be said!

DD, I agree with you. I have grown to like the MELBOURNEfc logo which is largely the blue with red v, the strongest image of our team - look how a demon image is so much less effective in the alternative strip (both current and past).. And we are also the demons! Look at the filth. They will not give up the b&w vert stripes for anything, but continue to be the maggies.

[dazzledavey36 55,359]

yes! bring the demon back!

[Yencks 8]

leave the logo...but change our name from melbournefc to MFC 1858

yes we are still the demons but there is nothing that i like more this year than our logo

the old logo looks very outdated

Yup!

[NO MERGER 20]

As much as I love 'melbournefc', I prefer the DEMONS much more. How can you beat our famous 80's logo...

[titan_uranus 25,043]

I too have grown accustomed to the logo, which is something I didn't expect when I first saw it. But we must bring back the demon. It's good for the kids to have that icon, like the mascot at the ground or in those comic things.

[beelzebub 23,383]

I have no problem with the club being Melbourne fc.. but the 'marketing ' is teh DEmon... thats what has to be pushed.. We are teh MFC who are the DEMONS !!The monicker Demosn at least instills some backbone, some ferocity..some.."something"... Melbourne fc just seems like a toffs smoking club really by comparison !!
