New Emblem?

[dee-luded 2,958]

as long as its not the MCC demon.

I like the current Emblem for formal occasions & letterhead etc, as the trademark.

But wouldn't mind have a fun logo for casual things, like newspaper headlines, AFL website insignia, & other casual functions.

maybe we could improve this one to look fierce & more knarly.

So the 1970s demon was cross-eyed?

[Pennant St Dee 11,909]

I like the current emblem, has our colours, our traditional MFC logo and the Southern Cross of our flag, the rules of the game

Cartoon logos are very unprofessional IMO

WTF is the "MCC demon"?

I wish, just for once, one of your posts would make some sense...

Yeah, that's the problem with it...

[P-man 13,353]

Can't wait to see what they come up with. PJ has kicked goals at every turn so far, so I expect this to be no different.

Oh good, let's break even this season, but look at putting more money into the Footy Dept next season or let's get a new emblem again after four years and have to spend money on changing everything again, jumpers, signage, letterheads, merchandising...sigh and sigh...any way agree must we go back to cartoonish emblems..why?....and besides which if it is going to have a name on surely the name should be Dees, don't hear many people calling MFC the Demons these days....

[Wilson7 2,543]

That would be horrible

Is it just me or could a new emblem be the reason behind the New Balance online sale?

Gotta get rid of some inventory to make way for new stock next season....now it makes sense!

Every comment I have heard on our current emblem is that it's too busy, but I don't mind it as a business logo, probably looks alright on a letter head and so on, maybe doesn't reflect the " demons" side of the club well enough

I support Everton in the Premier League, a team that has been around as nearly as long as MFC, their nickname is "the Toffees", there is no reference to the toffee on their emblem

Hahah i'm not sure you'd want to brag about being " the Toffees", but I take your point.

[P-man 13,353]

Monikers don't work the same way in the Prem as they do in the AFL. They are merely colloquial nicknames: "Toffees", "Potters", "Gunners". In the AFL they are an integral part of the club's identity and brand. You don't have a Toffees mascot running around pre-game at Goodison.

I don't think the logo necessarily has to have "Demons" on it, but 13 of the current AFL logos have done it that way, so it's hardly out of the oridnary. Having the "Dees" is a horrible idea though. Would be the same as having "Pies" on the Collingwood logo.

[Dr. Gonzo 22,838]

The current emblem is ok just remove the southern cross, the flame above the M and the gradient writing in the background. If they do go a new one though I hope it does have a fierce looking Demon on it. No reason we can't have two though, pretty sure Geelong do and it works ok for them.

[monoccular 16,687]

Nothing wrong with the current logo / emblem.

Let us only consider a change after our next flag - and then reject the change as it would be an emblem of our success :-)

[Sir Why You Little 35,330]

If there is one element we should leave standing from the Stynes Board it is the emblem.

I like it.

[Scoop Junior 3,132]

Yeah I quite like the current one, it's just a little too busy.

I'd only have one of the trident, football and southern cross (whichever element is the most important - probably the trident as it's part of our identity, although it should be a smaller trident), and I don't think the flame above the M works well given the usual size of the logo.

Wrong, they have "the Toffee Lady" walking around throwing "Everton Mints" to the crowd, er and yes they do, have a look at some of the merchandising available, Red Devils especially

[Deeoldfart 7,864]

I love the current emblem and all that it stands for, but I also think there's a strong case for a logo that will be attractive to the kids who will form our future membership base. An angry, fire eating Demon would surely have more appeal to the youngsters. Like others have said, there is a place for both an official emblem as well as what I would call a logo, to be used on badges and in newspapers etc..

[ILLDieADemon 804]

I like the emblem we have now.

[dee-luded 2,958]

So the 1970s demon was cross-eyed?

maybe its an insight into how the club was run back around that time after smithy went ? thru the late 60's - 70's period. there is No fierceness or potency in it At All.

Just a friendly polite little fella. a friend to all. nice as all get out.

Just like our team has been for the Most part of our past 50Yrs. coincidence, or an inner reflection of the attitude that formed us over those 50 years.

study for yourself, if I give you all, then you just won't think outside of your box, will you. think more laterally.

lol..the toffee lady eh? I've not seen or heard of this toffee lady but I'm sure she's a ripper.

I'll grant you United, the biggest club in the world, using the Red Devils with some of their branding, but there are numerous clubs that would have no such example. Indeed I can only find two EPL logos with the nickname of the team in it - Stoke and Hull. The AFL is quite different in the centrality and relevance of its monikers.

I reckon the emblem could work in unison with a team logo. The current emblem can remain for all corporate or business matters, while a new more Demon-centric logo can be used for the team itself on merchandise and guernseys.

[P-man 13,353]

I would hazard a guess that if they change it, it will be on the back of the majority of feedback in the survey being less than positive. If that is the case, the people will have spoken.
