ok, so the new emblem got leaked today. i've seen it, but i'm not going to post it. i don't want others to post it. not even a link. the club will release it officially when they are ready.

my question is, what is the legality of posting this emblem? it was published on a government trademark website. the person who leaked it was apparently looking for information regarding the gold coast, and stumbled upon it. have they breached any laws by posting it? if the logo was just leaked via a link, is this any different to posting it as an image (as it has been hosted on another website, eg imageshack?). would the website that it has been leaked on have any onus to remove it?

purely interested.

ps. it's a magnificent logo

I haven't seen it, & don't care to, Until the Club is happy to release It.

not happy that this has got out now the more i think about it. Although I wanted to I could have easily waited whatever it will be, will be in the HS tomorrow and the AGE as well you would think.

One thinks Melbourne should do the release soonish if they do show it tomorrow. Stupid Internet!!

it looks quite good actually, i think we should change our away strip to the MFC carlton symbol style thing in the middle of the jersey. i mention it because its on the new logo.

i seem to recall a vote on mfc.com for which jumper with the demon and the mfc logo, and the demon jumper got up and thus we are wearing it.

I was hoping for something more hip and modern, similar to the logos Adelaide and Brisbane started using this year.

You're right, at this rate our logo will never be able to feature on an episode of The Weagles.

Terrible those two!!

This is an awesome emblem even though I am biased. Southern Cross a bit similar to the Aus Cricket Team but altogether different from what any other AFL/Football club has while still keeping within the theme/spirit of the game and more pleasing the club. It is recognisable to demons such as us & others.

It's a beauty!

I liked it before, even more now.

Pity it was leaked... but after studying some business law subjects at uni, it can hardly be called "leaked" per se.

Once a trademark has been registered (whether it's a logo, text etc), it then becomes available to the public. To do otherwise is against the law.

The logo was, thus, merely shared around in an open forum (i.e. the public) by a single member of said public.

I guess, out of respect for the MFC, we have decided to perhaps keep this new emblem under wraps for the time being as a bit of "hush hush".

I love the design and a lot is happening within the design itself. Very modern and well thought out.

My question is... where will this emblem be displayed?? Obviously it won't be our new Demons logo or be put on our jumper... so will it be on corporate items and letterheads etc?

Go Dees! Great initiative! It's a sign we're going places for sure.

Can't see why it wouldn't be used everywhere the emblem is used, maybe remove the writing underneath at times, on clothing etc?

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
