Mc Love Posted June 18, 2008 Author Posted June 18, 2008 I emailed him the link there earlier on today, this is what he has had to say: Hi thanks for your email. The 1875 could easily be incorporated into my logo design. From looking at your comments you are all obviously very passionate about your club, which is great. I do however feel that the logo is in need of a redesign from its current form, maybe a spring clean as it were. But I understand your attachment to it! Thanks again for your email Steve

Zulu Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Don't change your badge, it's great. We "modernised" our badge a few years ago and it's bobbins - only surpassed by that sad monstrosity at Fulham.
colin Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I only learned a cople of days ago that Rosa Gallica Officinalis is the actual Rose Of Lancashire. So that redesign is probably a bit more of a nod to tradition than the existing one. And that Fulham logo is crap
philipl Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 That looks awful. What is it with this effiminate obsession with clothes design anyway?
RoversFanUSA Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 I like it. I think a couple of little changes and it would look realy nice, although i wouldnt want to change our logo any time soon. Nice design though. Good find SR

dj54nna Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Boro's badge update last year was AWFUL. Villa's wasn't as bad, but still not great. Steve's not done a bad job, I'd like a stronger blue mind. Did anyone ask him how he came to pick Rovers?
Mc Love Posted June 22, 2008 Author Posted June 22, 2008 Did anyone ask him how he came to pick Rovers? I didnt actually but i think he picked it as he thought it needed an update...which is kind of true. Still love our crest though. And wasnt the Villa crest created by some six year old?
doctorryan Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 I didnt actually but i think he picked it as he thought it needed an update...which is kind of true. Still love our crest though. It does not need an update.
vintageadidas Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Wigan have changed their logo. Does not look good. They had an oldschool one like us which had some effort and meaning embedded within it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Wigan_a...c_new_badge.png

rover6 Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 The yellow/gold lettering on the blue circle on our badge doesn't go great, imo. However, a badge is just a badge and changing it for corporate purposes is uncalled for. I suspect the argument may be made sometime in the future, if this club every trys to develop its brand (and gets a glitzy Rovers Megastore...), but right now we are little ol' Blackburn and we don't need to worry about our badge representing "contemporary chic". However, the academy's derivative logo, of the bud, is a bit crap.

They had an oldschool one like us which had some effort and meaning embedded within it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Wigan_a...c_new_badge.png They've had that badge before, they seem to flit between the crest of Wigan, and that one every so often. For example on this kit http://www.oldfootballshirts.com/en/teams/...hirt-s2080.html
Friarsnig Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 I don't think there's anything wrong with the idea of a change to the badge. The kit changes slightly every year so why not he badge too from time to time? We don't really have a traditonal 'coat of arms' save for the worthy image of a red rose in there somewhere (being Lancashire's greatest club I think that's a must). If there was to be ever a change then the designer's effort at the top is a very good starting place. It's got the blue and white halves theme, and a red rose, which is really all we need.

Its not a good idea if you have a tattoo of the badge on your arm or leg. If the badge keeps changing you could be covered in badges by the time you are laid to rest.

4ever&ever Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 I can't believe that people are suggesting we change our club badge . We have in my opinion the best club badge around. The mock up looks really girly .
BrownieFC Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 I can't believe that people are suggesting we change our club badge . We have in my opinion the best club badge around. The mock up looks really girly . Agreed, I love our club badge the mock up doesn't even have 1875 on which was mentioned earlier is a must.

The mock up looks really girly . nobody is saying that!! I just created this thread to show that i found this redesign on the web. if we were to redesign the crest, i think its a good job.
Friarsnig Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 GTF you clown! and GTF to the clown who started this thread! What does GTF mean? Should I feel insulted?
den Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 What does GTF mean? Should I feel insulted? I missed that one. Yes, it was a insult, one that I hope Jal doesn't repeat.
rebelmswar Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Im not 100% but i belive GTF means Get To F**K. It does indeed but I shouldn't feel insulted. He's telling you to go somewhere nice.
