A competition (with prize) for a (new) demon logo might be a good idea

This is the one thing that I hope we never, ever resort to. This is where you end up with competition-based design/branding:

    where is the demon link in the current logo Stuie? The stupid Trident?

    Think you misunderstood me, I HATE the current logo with a passion, but I would prefer it over the "MFC Olive Branches" logo for the footy side of things

    There's no reason why we can't have a range of logo options for different scenarios. Lots of companies and organisations do this.

    The problem with the new shield is that it's trying to be everything to everyone, and it ends up just being a dog's breakfast. My hope is that the Demons brand will be presented to supporters in a way that we can all feel proud to be associated with it. Basically want us to be the NY Yankees cap of the AFL. Is that too much to ask? ;)

    Honestly, I agree. The logo that Schwab came up with looks crap on merchandise and on television. It is overly complicated. I hate it on the jumper too. Looks like garbage. An unnecessary stain. Here is a better logo that we already use for the business community that would be better than what we currently use

    Like it Cell.

    I read on 'land that the Demons Shop told a poster the new training jumper is easily outselling the home jumper and the away jumper. Could be just because it's new, but people like the old styled MFC logo.

    I reckon you have it again

    The plain MFC looks traditional and professional and I like that

    the demon logo looks modern and active like that also

    the red and the blue can be used effectively and is why we should insist on blue (home Dark) and red (light clash) strip to reinforce our brand

    There can be different logos for different occasions or products but the club should try and ensure there is a quality and consistency with its approach its about branding and again I reckon Russell Howcroft probably knows more about this than most.

    why do we have to accept any of the AFL crapp. Surely we own our images and right to market as see fit

    It can only be a convenience that some fool signed that lands us in our current predicament. Time to send a letter to rescind this situation.

    And of course I also want the logo to die a firey death. It is abhorrent, and is representative of one of the worst periods in the club's history. It's a basket-case, and the club should recognise that. They wrote back with some pretty interesting stuff about the logo survey, might post it later.

    Would be very interested in this if you can post it. I am hoping that the majority of supporters feel the same way about the logo - that it is awful and needs to be binned asap.

    Yup, sorry.

    The marketing of the logo etc is equivalent to Demon shop that no one knows is there, I personally like the shield, but a blood curdling devil/demon would be a great mascotty thing.

  • Quote

    I don't mind the shield/emblem but they need to get rid of the southern cross, the script writing in the background, the flame above the "M" and probably the football/trident as well. They could maybe replace the southern cross with another trident but he point is if they simplified it it wouldn't be too bad.

    Here are two emblems that if given a modern twist would be great shields that would incorporate the demon

    I would replace Redlegs with Demons, eliminate the 1982 and replace it with 1858 and lose the Redleg logo to be replaced by MFC monogram

    Same to apply to the above

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
