AjcW Posted 9 February 2016 Share Posted 9 February 2016 Always going to divide opinion this sort of thing. I think they're trying to save some face by not making money out of a title sponsor which is obviously good PR for them. Design wise, I like the block colour idea and the lion head on its own it's just as Babylon says above THAT FONT WHY!! But i'm seeing out through someone in Branding's eyes so who knows what the majority will think. The preview they have shown of the Purple Background & Lion head on an iPhone app looks great.

AKCJ Posted 9 February 2016 Share Posted 9 February 2016 I bet that graphic designer is pissing himself. "Have you done that logo for us Dave". "Err yeah... i'll send it over to you" *Opens up MS Paint* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xen Posted 9 February 2016 Share Posted 9 February 2016 Logo doesn't look too bad - I was expecting much worse - but very little effort has been put into that. The arm badge looks cheap, though. So no more Barclays sponsors at grounds next season? I notice at the King Power there's a few advertising boards (non electric) which have Barclays sponsors on them. We'll still have some Barclays sponsoring around the stadium if Barclays choose to sponsor us as a club, but some of the sponsoring which was already there was (I believe) Premier League sponsoring, which will obviously no longer be there...

I think it's more to do with selling the brand abroad which is difficult with the Barclays inclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox42 Posted 9 February 2016 Share Posted 9 February 2016 So the arm badges will look like this? Coming from a graphic design student, that looks terrible and tacky. I like what they've done with the lion's head, that's a nice touch. But once again, we're seeing another example of lazy design. The typeface, to me, does not scream football. It looks like a bank logo. A modern, sleek serif typeface would've worked much better than a bubblegum pop style rounded font. The outer shield shape caps off a cheap looking design. I hate the idea of completely stripping off elements of a currently successful design just for the sake of it. It's a failure. Rant over.*edit* Does this also mean they'll change the shirt number font? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume it will be replaced by PL hoardings, by the FA for cup games and CL for Euro games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's what I was trying to say There'll still be some sort of advertising, it'll just be advertisers backing the club directly, or competition-specific ads/branding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haydos Posted 9 February 2016 Share Posted 9 February 2016 How can United justify playing Martial on the wing? He's a thousand times more dangerous than Rooney. Because Rooney is who he is. Pretty sure Rooney's either scored or assisted their last 11/12 goals. Feel free to correct me if I've misread that stat somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i'm seeing out through someone in Branding's eyes so who knows what the majority will think. The lion's head looks good, but the font does make it look like the logo of a mid-sized consultancy business in Northampton or somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
