Look, for a marketing guy, I'm a good lawyer!! I have no idea about marketing, but I just don't get that a logo is likely to make one iota of difference to our brand. I would have thought marketable players, winning, presence in growth corridors and at schools and incentivising new members is the main game, not having an emblem and a logo.

If it actually would help attract more members if we had a simple demon logo or whatever, then I say go for it!

Of course those things are key (I should add I'm no marketing/PR guy usually that stuff makes me sick but in this situtation I'll make an exception) but I would've thought when looking to expand our supporter base a logo/emblem is the thing that catches the eye/attention and gets people looking at your "product" a bit more closely. What they see after that will determine if they become a supporter/customer or not.

    Well it does have a Trident in the Image.

    A devil's pitchfork is called a trident, blivet, widget as well as a poiuyt.

    How many Knew that ? :lol:

    It is an undecipherable figure, an optical illusion and an impossible object.

    Pretty much sums up the Dees .

    What id really like to see though is the Dees sticking that trident to the Opposition, where they really deserve it . Obviously where the sun don't shine . :cool:

    A Dee with a Poiuyt , now Id like to see that :blink:

    Seriously Im not making this stuff up :)

    To be honest I don't see much wrong with these guys, look pretty good if you can incorporate them into a logo though could maybe look a little fiercer (the biggest one does look pretty evil though haha)

    The club actually spoke to me about it but the problem was, even though the rest was my work, we couldn't find who owned the copyright for that demon head so it's stuck in limbo a bit...

    Stuie there are ways around the copyright issue. If serious the club could employ the services of a patent/copyright firm who would solve that one way or the other i believe.

    Shouldn't be a stumbling block. Where there's a will and a good law firm's hefty fee lurking, there's usually a way :)

    Yeh i know mate.... it's a very dark navy blue i think. That's another reason i prefer stuie's version. The White banner also stands out against the darker background, clearly embolding the nick name... Demons.

    I'm not crazy about the font Stu but that demon head is a ripper. Menacing enough without looking, well, satanic.

    Stuie the only problem with the logo you have submitted is that you have stolen that Demon head from another sporting club. Copyright will prevent us from using it. Why not try to do something with a demon head like the one we used in the early eighties

    As I said in the post in the branding thread the demon head was from a Melbourne Demons logo I found and neither myself or MFC have been able to find the creator to find out about copyright so it can be used, which is why it's in limbo.

    Also, the logo was never "submitted" as it was something I made just for the sake of it and never intended to use it for anything or "submit" it to the club. They contacted me.

    Oh sorry Stuie..I misinterpreted you..I will see on other thing on that particular head though, it is rather aggressive and demonic...i don't know that it is exactly kid friendly..overall i like the layout though

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
