I know it has been mentioned before but I would just like to say how good, I think the new logo looks.

At first it didn't float my boat at all, but it has really grown on me, especially after seeing it on member cards and the MFC website.

IMO Melbourne does have a bit of an identity crisis and I believe that this logo says and shows all it needs to; We are the red and blue and we are Melbourne.

I have to agree...

The new logo has really grown on me and I think it looks very sharp.

Isn't it funny, though, how quickly the old logo looks outdated and old now?

I always like the old one, but it does look a little tacky now.

EDIT: My only gripe with the new logo is that every letter "e" is lower case. It's a bit annoying.

I have to say the new logo does nothing for me at all. It strikes me as the result of some namby pamby corporate night think tank after many should have gone home in the taxis !!

There's no imagination or passion at all in the design...its all .. "oh yeah..we're melbourne...yawn!!! "

looks like something churned out on a type writer.... in the age of computer graphics

gets a 3/10 from me

each to their own I suspect.

That's the thing, I like the simplicity of it. I'm the same when it comes to football jumpers.

I'm with you CB I like the simplicity of it as well.......

I mean I don't ever see the point of over embellishment particularly when it comes to branding.

The colours are obvious, and the relationship to the city and the playing jumper is also there for all to see.

Works perfectly fine for me, but then again I was never enraptured with the old "cartoony" one.

There seems to be enough issues other with our club at the moment than to find fault with this IMO :rolleyes: !!!

Oui Queen C.

Its simple, look sharp, got substance...the old logo I think looked "Kiddie" to adults, and sinister to little kiddies.

And as long as it doesnt have the Darwin River embedded into it [ala the Opera House & the Swannies] then I'm happy enough

yes i agree with all but one of you...i initially was disgusted by it, but now i am happy...when people think of melbourne, they mainly think of the square with the red yolk anyway because it is on so many bumber stickers and for so long has almost bieng a second logo for us...i could not be happier with the logo at the moment

i also agree that jumpers should be simple aswell...my theory is that they should be simple enough for a 6 year old to draw with their hand, ala melbourne essendon richmond north etc etc

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
