[Albion] Albion's badge ranked 56th out of the 92

[Bozza]

"Is it possible to oversimplify a badge? Brighton’s crest would suggest that the answer to that is very much ‘Yes’. Even the seagull looks bored; could they not at least have added one of the city’s three piers?"

The winner? Nottingham Forest: "Exciting and utterly iconic in its simplicity,"

’s.



Less is more.

Oh please, not another excuse to raise more in the coffers with a change to the badge.

Ranking Bournemouth at 20th, insert facepalm smiley.

I must have missed a pier somewhere.

It's just one person's opinion. Folk talk about Four Four Two as if it's a huge collective conscience.

Certainly some odd ranking in there (although I don't think our badge is especially iconic).

Chain Pier, swept away by a storm in 1896

Well, yes, so we don't have three piers now. I reckon he read his Wiki page too quickly.

Probably got us mixed up with Blackpool easy mistake for a stupid journalist, team from the seaside beginning with B

They comment that the Forest badge is funky.
To me it looks like a cartoon blow off or a nuclear cloud.

Funky FFS.........


Even the Twats badge is smiling

Agreed.

Like Wolves’ badge (ranked number 2).

I’m glad I read this before opening the link. Not a chance it’s a good list based on that ranking.

I have never seen a seagull which has a different expression on its face.

If that's the case, I'm not even going to bother clicking the link. I'm not sure how they'd get that joke of a badge into the top 90, let alone the top 20.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Seriously, who cares?

 

[US Seagull]

Bit silly and inconsistent. The top two (Wolves and Forrest) are absolutely minimalist. But then number 4, Barnsley is an absolute garish mess of different elements.

I think, ideally, the logo should be simple enough that a bored school kid can sketch a reasonable facsimile on the back of their workbook. They should also be immediately recognizable without having to read whatever text is on the badge. Remove the word "Barnsley" from their badge and I'm pretty sure most people wouldn't be able to place it. Wolves doesn't even have any words. Forrest's would still be easy to recognize without the text. I think ours would be too, if not for the fact that Hollister use a similar looking logo (although I think their seagull is flying in the opposite direction), but I don't think they are widespread in the UK are they?

Same goes for flags. Overly complicated flags are not good.

 

[Tesco in Disguise]

I like our badge. And I think it's a marked improvement on our previous one.

I don't like Forest's use of upper and lower case letters.

Wolves too 80's for me. I do like simple, though, and I think Derby do it well.

MK Dons and Fulham have to be the worst.

 

[Invicta]

Have to love Barrow, who wouldn't want a nuclear sub on their badge !

 

[GT49er]

Forget wars and global warming. Let's just get a badge that's at least in the top 50!

 

[Mackenzie]

It’s ranked number 1 in my house if that helps.
