THE EMBLEM

Featured Replies

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.

So happy with the direction the Ol' boys are giving us.

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

Club should play that poem before the game on Sunday on the big screen ! awesome and love the logo. Jim Stynes what a man !!!

Our club has a new emblem that is both inspiring and captivating.

I can just imagine the envy, opposition supporters must be feeling today.

Bring it on...

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

Says it all, really.

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

Nice video

David Neitz,LOL.

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 :)

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
