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.

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.

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.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
