DistrACTION Jackson 10,752 Posted February 28 Posted February 28 With the announcement yesterday that we will be wearing a jersey this year with the 90s/early 2000s demon face, I was keen to get people thoughts on our emblem. Personally that emblem was my all time favourite and I’d love to bring back the demon in some capacity. I find the current club emblem a bit bland. What’s everyone’s thoughts? 7 Quote

Rab D Nesbitt 8,966 Posted February 28 Posted February 28 I like the current emblem. The worst was the dog's breakfast of one we had during Jimmy's time as president. 5 1 1 Quote

KozzyCan 989 Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Won't happen but I'd love it if we just readopted that logo. It's the best logo we've ever had and we got rid of it because we didn't want to spook some Chinese sponsors. It still looks really modern. It has a a really striking and unique brand compared to our current logo which is fine but fairly boring. Also think a firey demon head is much more attractive to kids than a shield and a monogram. 12 1 Quote
Bombay Airconditioning 6,510 Posted February 28 Posted February 28 (edited) The current emblem is far the worst we’ve had, won’t happen but I’d prefer we go back to our retro emblem. Edited February 28 by Bombay Airconditioning 2 Quote
La Dee-vina Comedia 17,137 Posted February 28 Posted February 28 I think there's room for both. The staid monogram for formal stuff and the stylised Demon for other marketing opportunities. 5 1 Quote

Demon Disciple 12,538 Posted February 28 Posted February 28 I agree we should go back to our Demon head emblem, so as to reaffirm that we are the OG when it comes to Demons and Devils. 3 1 Quote

Given enough room I'm convinced he would have squeezed in a boomerang, an irish flag and a meat pie as well. 4 Quote

Expand I dunno… I love it as well and just assume most supporters feel the same way. If we make enough noise could we see some sort of reincarnation? Hopefully. The most offensive thing about the current one is how inoffensive it is. 4 Quote

demoncat 1,723 Posted February 28 Posted February 28 (edited) I’ve been saying this amongst other Dees supporters for years now - far and away the best emblem we’ve ever had Plus retro is very much in vogue these days - I reckon you could reintroduce it with some minor touch ups and it wouldn’t look dated at all Bring back “Give Em Hell” while we’re at it Edited February 28 by demoncat 4 3 Quote

praha 11,267 Posted February 28 Posted February 28 (edited) I love the current emblem as a primary logo. We are MELBOURNE. The 90s logo is very....90s. I like it though. I always thought the demon looked a bit like Neil Balme. Edited February 28 by praha 1 1 Quote
