[Archived] A New Rovers Logo

[sambo]

People are saying they don't want a tacky badge - I agree.

However, although I am perfectly happy with the current badge, this design is far from tacky.

If we were to change it, I'd be delighted with this

Good effort pal

[Ben-2000]

What's tacky about it? There's nothing bling, or ridiculously coloured. We've not added 'BLU SOX' to our name.

Surely you can articulate a little something about what you don't like?

I was getting at my later comment about some of the recent badges of other clubs that look awful... if the club was going to change it, it would more than likely be all modernised and jazzed up with no traditional features necessarily. Imagine ending up with the Rovers eqivalent of this.... interesting comments on that here

The Rovers crest has been around for years... prior to 1989, just not on the shirts for whatever reason. There's nothing wrong with it!

Poll would be a good idea as already mentioned.

If strictly speaking design, the current fulham logo is, in my opinion, beautiful. The typography, weight, and contrast is all textbook.

however,

it says nothing about the history of the club, which is more important. The fulham logo could easily be a logo for Fred's Fantastic Cotton.

that's what needs to be done with Rover's mark. Just freshen it up a little bit with some good design, but make sure the history remains prevalent.

If you look very carefully, you may notice that Texas Rover's designs look nothing like this.

Change will happen sooner or later.

No it won't.

Nothing needs to be done with the Rovers' badge.

I say we just go to the 1875 kit altogether

I feel sorry for you Texas Rover that you think there is a need to change our magnificent Rovers club badge.

[Mc Love]

I feel sorry for all the people that think change is a bad thing especially as we are about to change owners

[doctorryan]

Change is good when it's needed. Change is bad when it's unnecessary and does not offer a stark improvement. We're not changing the badge little children.

Get over it.

[doctorryan]

Touché Texas.

No I wouldn't think that WE'RE going to change the badge. I will speak to the club about it though. I imagine it could generate some extra cash and local interest in the club.

The end of an era. I might even speak to local tattoo artists , see if they will do a discount on amending badge tattoos.

That's a matter of taste.

It's a fantastic idea.

We could spend our 2.5m transfer budget hiring a top marketing agency to change the logo instead.

Agreed.

I was hanging my new Rovers Air Freshner in my car this morning. As I finished tying it on, I sat back and thought "I wish I could buy one with Texasrovers' design."

I looked at the logo printed on my freshly minted season ticket and thought, "The rose is proper wonky, damn you Texas Rover, I'd never noticed before."

Have you noticed the logo the Telegraph use?

Wrong font, wrong colour, wrong background (with an added gradient) and wrong angles for 18 75!

I'm liking the idea of the changing the badge coinciding with a new era at Ewood and all designs on the first page are ace.

Personally I prefer the contemporary design right at the bottom of the first page, I think that would look great on our shirt.

In all honesty, our current badge does look a bit dated now and, as has been stated earlier on the thread, I'm sure there were some oldies complaining about change on every previous badge change in history. They'll get over and used to it.

As for anyone with tattoos of the old design - serves you right for getting a football club emblem tattoed on you.

It's like having a girlfriend's name tattooed - it's always liable to change

There has never been a change of club badge- what we have is our only ever badge.

The shirts at the 1960 Cup Final had the town's coat of arms on them.

[BuckyRover]

Exactly phil. It's long overdue

[doctorryan]

Thank you Philip - Up yours Buck

The first ever shirt Rovers wore featured a maltese cross.

Did you know for all the Irish Rovers out there, the current badge has green, white and orange in it, though its easy to identify the green and white, sometimes the orange can be difficult to see as its sometimes depicted as red which isnt correct.
