A great day and a great emblem.

Have a look at the real collingwood emblem and you will see that it too has much going on. As many posters have said, there is the club's official emblem and there will also be (i'm sure) some drilled down versions for various marketing areas.

Congratulations on the MFC Board for the courage and work to this point. Keep it up.

You're welcome to express a view. I'm not sure why people would have a problem with what you've said.

I agree.

It's pretty sad when people get criticised for commenting that the emblem's a bit busy...talk about precious.

I really like it. And I did the moment I saw it. When one starts analysing all that's in it I can understand some thinking that it's a bit busy. But I can only go off my initial reaction.

I don't think that one needs to start analysing it to form the opinion that it's 'busy'.

I was talking to a professional designer and the first thing they commented on was that it was pretty busy.

(While irrelevant to the point I'm making, fwiw they liked it).

EDIT: I'm not too fussed about emblems and so forth, but I quite like it.

Of course it's "busy".

It is telling a story of the club with the longest history of any, in the game.

Emblems (like family shields) are supposed to tell a story.

This one, along with the video, set in stone, the traditions of our club.

If it was plain and simple...what would that say about our club ?

Too busy, trying to be too many things at once

Yes it's busy. The club got busy and Demolished our debt, the members got busy supporting our club, the players are getting busy to win us a flag.

Footy's a busy game...

Great emblem.

5 ideas apparently are too many for some.

Come on guys.

Jimma has come to the club to Unite us, & here some can't help but attack there own, seconds after our best recent news.

If some have a different take on some things, thats fine. Lets not become cannibles. Enjoy that we can all share the interest we have for our Club, still & going forward.

Not too sure about the emblem. I'd like to see the demon back but not the wimpy impersonators that have been on our logo for decades. Its been like Richmond calling themselves "the tigers" but having Garfield as a logo.

I don't think anyone is having a go at others for having a different opinion.

I for one, was trying to explain what I see as the logic in developing a fully fledged emblem, with meaning.

Just saying it is "busy" with no explanation as to what "busy" means, nor how to make it just as an important symbol, by being less "busy" indicates that maybe some more work needs to be done to explain things.

100 years ago, "emblems" were very important.

In this age when we are bombarded constantly, with images and branding, perhaps the concept of what an EMBLEM is and what it represents has been lost in the wash.

This is not like "sunburst" launched by the Gold Coast last week. That is a "logo".

They don't have a history, yet.

We do.

Not just more than most.

But more than everybody else in the comp.

That is a great "brand" factor for us to use.

That is what this "emblem" does.

Some other clubs - particularly Collingwood - developed their "emblem" many moons ago.

We were "late" to the table with a really convincing emblem - the emblem of the team we love...now we have one!

Be proud!

wow. just brilliant. and that's even after getting an earlier sneak peak.

great presentation as well.

gee, compared to that dreadfull and meaningless box they were using!

Good point Rob, I'd forgotten about the Red/Blue box.

The one on the back of my car faded after a couple of months.

I'll be happy to replace it with this one - especially as it is "proper" one!

I think your right, I jumped in too soon. After reading some posts last week re the early leaking of the emblem, I anticipated a criticism & responded without reading the whole thread.

Actually the thread is encouragingly positive. My bad, whatever that means.

A great day for Us Demons...

I am not seeing much attacking if any, in fact this has to be one of the most reasonably debated threads in a while. I dont love it and it is ok to say that.

No, I wasn't having a go at people with different opinions, rather defending that.

I was having a crack at some, who personally attack others for having an opinion.

Anywho, back to topic. Sorry for the interruption guys.

They put it all on the Hun website. Amazing.

Inspiring stuff. I am so proud to be a Demon today. I've lived the ups and downs (mostly downs) for damn near 40 years but today I feel bullet proof. If Jimmy asked me to sell one of my kids to save the club I would probably give it some serious thought.

Great Emblem, fantastic, those few who think it's too busy are idoits. If you think it's no good let's see your design. Put it up and let us all critique it

I'm pretty sure it'll still be used.

The interactive feature on the MFC website is a FANTASTIC initiative by the club and all involved! It is great viewing and gives a nice to-the-point view on what the emblem (and Melbourne) stand for in all it's glory.

Love it. :D

Agree 100%

It indicates how progressive the club is becoming/ has become, by embracing new concepts/technology,whilst also paying tribute to the club's great heritage, with the subject material it is applied to.

After 50+ years of being a supporter, I only hope, I am granted another 50+ years, to keep following : Go Dees!!

Sounds like you're also embracing new technology - nice one :)

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
