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    Isn't it funny, though, how quickly the old logo looks outdated and old now?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

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
