THE EMBLEM

Love it

It's the emblem of the team we love

 

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

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.

As another poster pointed out, an emblem is different to a logo. This emblem wraps up 150 years of history in a stylish and vibrant manner.

I wouldn't change a thing. B)

Concur entirely with Hannabal. Excellent representation of what the club stands for.

Amen H, well said....

It is a beautiful, all encompassing (150+ years) design that does what it set out to do.

Congratulations to those that designed it, job well done!!!

 

The emblem itself for me has way too much going on and for mine really says we couldn't quite decide what we are so we have included everything.

For me this emblem is more enduring than anything we have had before and rightfully emphasises our position in the history of the game.

I've heard a lot of people say that it's "too busy" but nobody has articultaed why this is a bad thing or why having a our emlblem telling a story about our football club is a bad thing.

If we are totally honest as outsiders looking at our current emblem it may as well belong to a bank?

Very big fan. Only a few teams have proper 'emblems' and this one is the best by some margin.


The last three years are truly amazing! And I think the Emblem and the presentation on the Web is the best effort I have seen in my 55 years of being a supporter and Member of the MFC.

I am not the youngest member by a long shot and my financial contribution to the “debt reduction” has been modest however I contribute where possible to a lifelong love affair.

Three years ago I thought we were headed to Sydney to become the “West Sydney Demons”

However they have turned the club around from $5 million in debt to no debt and what looks like a healthy profit this year.

The side has gone from Hopeless to being able to compete with any side in the competition.

Who knows were from here but I have the feeling it is up not down.

Congratulations to everyone at the MFC for their hard work over the last three years.

Would this have happened without one J Stynes?

I seriously doubt it.

The saying goes ”The Good Die Young” well I have a feeling you are about to prove that saying wrong Jim.

More power to you and most of all good health.

Carn the DEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Awesome emblem, love the deep thought and meaning behind every aspect of it!

 

Brillant!! and then video is one of the best pieces of marketing the club has ever done....its all clicking into place.

Can't wait to get my new gear next year with the emblem on it. And I think it should become part of the jumper so the players are constantly reminded of what they represent.


Wow.

What a great concept.

Its still so unbelievable to me the change and energy Jimmy stynes has brought back to ths club.

Everyone has backed his vision beautifully and thats why its all worked so well. Such a team effort.

So proud to be a dees supporter, as always.

For those who dont like it or think its too busy.. well, its a shame you've missed the point.

You want it to look good, of course, but the focus is on paying respect to our history, where we've come from and what we've done for the game.

..and theres a lot to cover.

I agree wholeheartedly - couldn't have said it better.

Great "emblem", not a "logo". People are entitled to disagree.

A lot people I have spoken with also think it's a tad busy.

I think it works and I like it a lot.

So happy with the club right now.

I hope they release this as a quality shield that you can buy from the Demonshop. I would love to have a proper shield (similar to say a family coat of arms) up on the wall. That emblem/logo/shield what ever you want to call it looks fantastic. I'm sure many Dees supporters would part with their hard earned for one of those.

That emblem is one of the Greats on this PLANET. Instills History, Passion Strength, Mateship, Australia, What we were, are and will be. Friendship Loyalty, Family-You name it, it's there. Wow i am proud i was born into a melbourne Family. We are the custodians of Australian Rules.

Well done to all involved. The Emblem must be a busy visual-we are the oldest sporting club on earth, so we have been through a lot, and it sure aint finished yet.

I don't care if some people don't like it.....It feels right to me, I LOVE IT!!

Well done MFC :)

Well done MFC :)

It is another great step in rebuilding the Club

Video

Go Dees

If I wasn't a Demon supporter before seeing that video I'd change teams. Great stuff.

Edit - On SEN around 2pm they played a line or two of a poem about the club that was recited last night. Does anyone have the full transcript or a vid link to it?

post-2340-128098911043_thumb.jpg

Love it. As previously stated, clear & concise.

What a time to launch it too, having wiped off the debt. Timing is everything.

I assume we'll see something tonight on TFS.


Wow ! Today has been a rather good day in the history of this great club.

Is it wrong to be sitting here with tears welling whilst watching that?

As an earlier poster said an emblem is not necessarily a logo. It needs to have some depth to it, or it means nothing.

The emblem for Australia is quite complex and has a story,which I remember having to learn as a kid in the 50s - not sure if they teach that now?

The video sets the story in stone. It is a brilliant piece. Every piece of the "puzzle" is clearly explained.

Everyone now knows, what the symbols mean, in very clear terms.

It will be used as the club identifying symbol where appropriate.

Out of it, might come a simple version, which will be recognized as the (or,a) club logo.

In other cases, the Demon will likely fill the bill.

I am not sure if this will be on our RED & BLUE jumper?

But, it should be!

After so many years in the wilderness, I now feel I am a member of a club who is proud of its heritage, but more, knows where it's going !

Go Dees!!

It's not wrong. It's natural. I've forwarded the link you provided to my dad. He'll love that.

Now i really hope the club plays in september. We are Melbourne old but new...That is a mighty poem.

  • PREVIEW: Geelong

    "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
    Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
