New logo?


whatwhat say what

Recommended Posts

They may decide to have several logos, eg. one for match day, one for corporate events, one for stationary, one for kids, etc. plenty of clubs have this. Geelong have several, so do Sydney. Having said that, the one in the op looks half baked.

Without referring back to the thread from a few weeks back, what was it that got everyone interested in the Dees as a kid? The logo? No. A particular player - more commonly. Just put Jesse's mug on the guernseys and letter-head.

I hate the Cameron Schwab styled logo. Always have.

I really like the traditional MFC style logo. Hope the club adopts it.

And don't get some Demon style logo - looks tres ordinaire. The Demon is our mascot - not our logo.

I like the emblem.

This is an argument that has been had since it came out and, according to Bartlett, there was a great deal more love for the emblem than the club thought - I hope they keep it and have other logos to target whomever they feel like.

But really, this is Olympic Argument - back here every 4 years talking about the same nonsense and spending a lot of money of things we aren't that interested in...

I'm certainly interested in the club's brand. You can ignore it and say it doesn't matter but all clubs are competing for an decreasingly small pool of neutral supporters. Sure, your on-field performance is your BEST branding exercise, but you need an image that stands and represents the club. Think Chicago Bulls, Yankees, etc.

Our current logo is ambitious, loud, but outside of people that enjoy and love the club, what does it mean? What does it stand for?

I think the emblem on the clash jumper says more than the current logo. You can say a lot without saying much at all. The current logo just tries to throw everything at you and doesn't really give you time to process. I like it but I'm a Melbourne supporter that understands the history.

Your logo is often a person's first interaction with the club. Current logo looks like it WANTS to be ageless, classical, memorable. The clash jumper logo is genuinely ageless. It's faultless.

The current emblem tries to achieve too much.

Good emblems have a known narrative behind them, eg, the Yankees, Carlton, Apple etc.

Less is more. Don't need to cram it all in one emblem. Such an approach lacks class. And confidence.

Just keep it simple. And stylish, which this does.

Edit - iPad typo

Faultless? Wow.

It's three interconnected letters. It doesn't even say the name of the club, the game we play, or indeed that we are a club.

The Yankees are the Yankees - they own the interconnected NY. I don't really think we can have the luxury of a logo so simple and neat.

Complex and busy is fine, especially with a club that has been very busy for the last 157 years.

Which one? The interlocked MFC letters? The simple square blue box with the red V? The stylised Demon head with horns written as the letter M? The stylised full size Demon with a trident? Or another?

We wrote the rules. We are the originators. If any club has the "luxury" of a simple and neat logo, it's us.

The current logo is a shamozzle. It tries desperately to be meaningful and achieves the opposite. It may have worked if the number of different elements was halved.

maybe we could get dan the man onto it

anyone who can design a logo with vic on a map of tassie is a genius

Please don't make me think of that logo. It makes me throw up in my mouth.

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
