Cryptic Message on MFC Social Media - New MFC Logo


Good Times Grimes

Recommended Posts

It's pretty basic. There's not a lot happening with it, such as the old one. I'm the same as ADC on this.

I liked the current (or now old) one. Liked the recognition it displayed and it's meanings, as did many here who may have changed their previous views all of the sudden.

Not me H_T I disliked the CS Logo from Day 1 It was simply too busy. I like this more. Good move by the Marketing department.

However I do agree with rpfc All these things like clash jumpers and logo,s are now of little consequence to me

The only thing that gets my attention is winning games.

When we have won 10 this year and 15 in 2017 I will worry about these items.

Yeah, agree with this od. Winning games is essential. So too a team/club building for sustained success IMHO.

I recall you not liking the old one old dee. I just find it amusing. And I'm not ashamed to admit that I was proud of the now old one, the effort that had gone into it, how they explained the recognition of different aspects making up the logo. Many liked it, including many opposition supporters who I know, looked upon the logo with envy.

I am not putting the club down for doing these things I just find it hard to be excited about them.

I am excited about the Quality of our squad improving, the coming draft and the 2016 season.

I was a fan of the now old one, prefer it to the new one. I do like the new one though and the simplicity will serve better when looking for new people who may not have understood the relevance of all the parts of the old one. The new one is also better at linking the club to the city, which is a good goal.

Love the fact the club has been so out there in the marketing of this though, almost seems like we now support an entirely different team, one with confidence and who is brash! Here's hoping it translates across to the field.

Great, so why are you talking about that in a thread which is about the new logo?

That's like going into a thread about Jesse Hogan and complaining about Dean Terlich not being good enough.

Talking about Chewing gum and walking at the same time!

Great marketing campaign, well done MFC.

I dunno,I loved the old school 70's/80s demon the best, but this one is OK

Looking at those you would have to say we have been confused for some time.

We must be close to holding the record for Logo changes.

I like the new one, but I liked the old one better. The old one was busier, which suited me but probably doesn't suit the times. Anyway, I like the way this has been done. Well done MFC!

A big FU to the AFL website though for spoiling the build up.

But have they ? I think we used them quite well :rolleyes:

Im thinking something (s) else are still to come.

We'll know tonight :)

Each to their own I guess but the old logo was not a logo, a logo is supposed to give you some immediate recognition. The old one was trying to do and be too many things.

Love the new one...simply the Melbourne Football Club, leave the other stuff to be recognised by statues and history books.

Do you think there may be a new Demon logo as well? Maybe a new jumper? Maybe the clash jumper will just be that new logo on a white jumper. Would be better than the current IMO. I guess we will find out if the afl has spoiled the show at 5:30

I didnt mind the older one but in a way..and with deference to our song possibly. ..it was more an Emblem than a logo.

Good logos for successful brands/businesses/clubs are often very much simplified in terms of colour and design.

Im looking forward to seeing the new one everywhere ...lol

Going to be interesting to see how far these gorilla tactics go.

Its clever. I like clever :)

Hawthorn supporters love wallowing in their pee&cackiness. Who can deny that Miranda Kerr would look great dressed in a potato sack? I'll wait and see before I like it.

I'd be happy to wallow if we had won 4 premierships lately too!!

I liked what the previous logo stood for, but as was mentioned before, it was not really a logo as a logo should be easily/instantly recognisable... it looked more like a shield(?). I like the new one, but if I was to have one complaint it is that the shape reminds me a little too much of the Warner Bros logo (but that's just me, I fear).

    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.
