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 :)

    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.
