New logo?


whatwhat say what

Recommended Posts

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

I meant that the interconnected NY is ubiquitous with the Yankees and that 'luxury' of people identifying so readily with that simple icon has been built over time.

The first club, the club that wrote the rules - not many know this - ironically the current emblem attempts to educate people of this. An interconnected MFC is certainly not going to.

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

Agreed. The Schwab logo just tried to do too much. I like the look of it but cant see a kid being able to draw it let alone my self.

I quite like the old fashioned "MFC" on the logo and think its a cool representation of our strong history.

I think something like this could make a cool flag:

Now i could live with that Logo quite happily...although what is that extra bit of Red at the top. A curtain of presentation or a the ass of an evil Demon Temptress? Edited by Sir Why You Little

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.

The mascots are a key part of selling the club to kids. The Demon is a great image, ferocious and feared I have no idea why we wouldn't use this.

Look at the current kids merchandise with the current emblem - what kid wants a schoolbag/tshirt etc with that on it over a Tiger or Magpie? Kids want merchandise with mascots on them, not shields.

I agree we should have two like the Cats, the interlocked MFC for corporate/official affairs and a Demon logo for kids merchandise.

I agree. The team is called the Demons because Checker Hughes used the term to describe how he wanted the players to play. Pretty core to the value of how the team plays out on the field. I would love to see a ferocious Demon, perhaps on the Away guernsey and used to promote the Club on other merchandise. I really liked the Bulldogs guernsey when they had an angry looking Bulldog on it. I liked the Schwab logo I like the new one although its very MCC. Whatever.

I may not know much about art.....but i know what I like and deestroy all......this has all the elements of a wonderful logo. A clear 10. Only one suggestion....In the current logo the first rules faintly appear on the shield background. In your greatly improved version an excellent background for Jessie would be....the dragons den from harry potter.?....sacks of gold.......etc.

Do we even need the Melbourne Football Club bit? Think I'd prefer "Jesse Hogan's team".

Was going to go with that, but it goes without saying. Thought the subtle initials were enough to let everyone know it's Jesse Hogan's Melbourne Football Club.

I honestly don't see much wrong with our current one. Perhaps is a bit too busy with so much happening in every corner of it so simplifying it would be the way to go.

Prefer the original MFC logo. That new one with sharp edges lacks something.

What are you calling "the original MFC logo"? To help, have a look at the four at the top of this article written, believe it or not, by Ben Newton (I assume a different one) a couple of years ago. Did you mean any one of these or perhaps another one?

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
