I guess Dermie, like others, prefer the "peaceful quiet emblems" that recognise their history and heritage: -

I guess Dermie, like others, has still not got over 1996.

In what way..?

I'd say they've done pretty well since they voted no to a merger.

I cannot believe that some person/organisation has been paid money to come up with such a bland and souless logo. It does not grab my 50 plus years demon heartstrings. A football- how original. A southern cross- great if we were miners. A trident - relevant if King Neptune is a major sponsor. It's too much - less is always more. Thia is typical agency cr--.

settle down bbo, its not a logo, its an emblem

wait till later to see what logo they come up with

A bit rich for Dermie to comment about our Emblem being busy, have you ever heard him try to explain a point he makes? That is 'busy'!

Well, each to their own, even within the Demon fraternity. But I love it, just love it and the story behind it especially after the interactive video on the website.

Just love, love that poem. It encapsulates everything about the Emblem and in my case had the hairs on the back of the neck rising.

A suggestion to all - play the poem, then play the boys belting out the song after the Brissy game. If that doesn't get the red & blue blood pumping, nothing ever will.

Can someone please link me to this poem or tell me where to go on the MFC website to find it???

Ta.

Gee I certainly felt that tingling feeling up my spine as I listened to that wonderful poem!! It comes right from the heart.

For many years people used to say what does your club stand for and really all one could say was we invented the game and we are the oldest sporting club in the world but is that all we stood for? but after watching whiteboard wednesdays one could see a theme coming from the red and blue blueprint and finishing with the emblem and watching the video of it I now understand what we stand for.

For those who say the emblem is to busy I have a saying, "History is to be remembered not lived" and that is what the emblem is all about in my view so well done to the club for reminding us of what the club stands for!!

Not surprisingly, all of the posts criticizing the emblem have completely missed the point.

Well done MFC.

I love it.

It is busy, but not too busy. Does anyone know when and where will it be used? Will it replace the square logo?

Cheers DJ16. I wasn't aware of that. That explains the shield for the emblem.

It is busy, but not too busy.

"Busy" is a rather silly criticism anyway.

Do you reckon any of these emblems have a problem because they're "busy"? (l-r: Australia, Tasmania, NZ coat of arms)

Nice work.

It looked incredible on the Footy Show last week with the flames behind it. I'll agree that it's a busy emblem but it doesn't hurt the product whatsoever, great effort by the club, I really like it.

Nor was I and for mine this fact gives the shield another strong MFC link rather than thoughts of a generic lending of, say an English football teams similar design.
