I'm not a fan.

I don't mind the idea of having two logos, one the more traditional (this one) and another more fearsome Demon. The idea being that the Demon is the team logo (i.e. the logo used in the newspaper) and the traditional one is used for the club (administration type things).

Either that or I'm just over-analysing it all.

Looks pretty good. Can you blow it up so I can see it in big?

I'll try. Probably not though.

classy but its all about attracting kids and this wont do the trick

jim stynes wouldnt want this to be our logo and im pretty sure it isnt

but like CB said, it would be good to be used more often

Yeah I think from the way Jimmy's been going about it so far, this isn't the kind of thing I would expect from him. That's not to say I don't like it, because I do, I just don't think this will end up being our logo.

I should just remind people that this was accidently (I believe) sent to me by the club, and might not represent anything at all.

Did you have any qualms about putting it up here? :P

To be honest, I thought about it a bit before I did it, but I figured, if it was top-secret or something, then it definitely wouldn't have been sent to me. At first I thought it might have been an old logo from the 50s or something (I wouldn't know) which is why I asked if anyone had seen it before. I guess it's probably just an unofficial logo of the club.

Not bad.

The "Founded 1858" part goes some way to stating who we are but this can be added to as follows:

"Australia's Oldest Footvball Club - Founded 1858"

or even better:

"Australia's First Footvball Club - Founded 1858"

or better again if it is true and if we can prove it (I know it is debatable)

"THe oldest Football Club in the World - Founded 1858"

Gee, might be me but this could be the logo that ties us in with the MCC?

Was exactly my first thought. He we ae showing our "home "..as it was. Why show the MCG unless its meant to figure in some way. Will be curious now to see the 'away" jumper as obviously the MFC logo has found favour.

Anyone else see the irony in that we ought to have had this logo at the beginning of our sesquicentenial year..not the end !! :huh:

And yet the clubs moves even further along some chartered path !! ;)

Got an email from the club today in response to a membership enquiry, and attached to the email was the file 'new_logo':

new_logo21.jpg

Is this a sign of things to come, or is this an old logo?

If you thought they sent a private in house attachment by mistake, then why would you not clear it with our club before making it public?

That is a very cool logo. I like it. Forward we move with our heritage proudly shown.

I have been informed by the club that this logo is an old logo. Why it is called 'new_logo' we won't know, but according to the club, this is an old logo which we can 'disregard'.

Because the rather unimaginative designer called the file 'new_logo' because it was 'new' when it was created back in 1993.

Far too much attention has been devoted to what is obviously a throwaway heritage logo.

I like the logo, regardless of whether its a throwaway logo, corporate logo.

What I meant was, there is just far too much going on in the logo for it to be an everyday brand logo.

Its the sorta thing they could put at the bottom of an email or at different places on the website just to change things up a bit. Maybe use it on a letterhead for special occasions.

But its definitely not the sort of thing you've find on a demons polo shirt or the like.

It looks very classy...

And since when does the logo matter when it comes to attracting kids?!

Collingwood has a very boring old style one that they haven't changed for ten years.

Kids like flair and personality, and wins, not flashy logos.

Give the kids some credit.

Personally I can't say I'm a big fan of it. I think it looks dull and lifeless, and should be something the club stays away from, as they themselves said they want to get rid of the Melbourne's 'Collins St' image. However in saying that I can see that it is not an official logo, just personally it just doesn't float my boat....

Can't believe I didn't notice this earlier, but it's the logo used on the playing cards sold at the shop!

I've seen it many times, and often remark how attractive it looks on my cards! Though it's all gold on the cards.

How silly of me

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
