When are they going to rename stockholm syndrome in your honour? |
How dare you! I can like blue - you lot don't own it you know! All my clothes are blue actually. |  |

Font-tastic!
Love a bit of fancy font-work. And I really like the “mashed” Ws.
I think it’s a tough job too. The horse, ball and waves are strange elements – and aren’t massively associated with the ITFC brand by anyone other than us who can see the connection back to teams wearing a similar badge in the late 70s and early 80s.
Perhaps like in the 1970s, it’s time to do a complete re-think? Particularly about the elements.
And I’m definitely not saying tractors!! |
I think i might be sad enough to know that font with the w. Deary me. | |

If all your clothes are blue, does that mean you’re a closet Town fan. |  |

What you don't want is two colours that just don't go together.
As far as kit/badge designs go, that could be catastrophic. |
I do you hope you're not talking about mother nature's chosen colour combo of green and yellow? | |

It’s a Rennie Mackintosh isn’t it? Gave me distinct Scottish vibes anyway. |  |

Haha... that was brilliant. I could never decide which looked worse... the yellow and green or the green and yellow one... and as for that hideous yellow and green one as well...
Oh, and I often appreciate your jokes... but that’s not saying much coming from me, is it? [Post edited 14 May 2021 21:23]

You're right (and I looked up the font I had in mind, but nothing like it) | |

I loved that old Bluey. I really do often wonder what happened to him. He must be somewhere. They wouldn’t have skipped him surely?!
AN INVESTIGATION MUST BE ARRANGED.
Shall I start a crowd-funder? |
I did an investigative piece some years ago. The headline was Old Bluey Turned to Gluey which may give a few clues about his fate. |  | | |

It's good start, and looks like you had fun.
I think you've broken some of your own design rules/observations. You talk about the Forest badge and others as inspiration for dropping part of the name or dropping the names in their entirety. This gives those a decluttered feel. But then you add FC and the founding date in there and it clutters it back up again.
The referenced new badges have taken out colours, stripping them back to 1-3 colours. But you've gone from 3 to 4 colours. Again, it makes it feel cluttered and too much.
I like the changes to the horse, but think it could be refined.
Overall, I think your analysis has been spot on, but the end-product needs to conform to that. [Post edited 14 May 2021 22:40]

In a nice nod to Gwion, the horse has mis-controlled the ball. |  | | |

Interesting blog - I enjoyed reading that.
With your final one, I would prefer not to have the split blue myself. I like the blue of the streamlined ones you'd got without the shield, so I think that would work better overall - I like what you've done in getting rid of so many keylines too - looks much cleaner and better like that. Nice work.
If it was changing, I'd like to go with your more streamlined approach, but retain the shield - something like this, with the same blue overall, and then rather than having a second blue, the Suffolk Punch just using grey against the blue...

That looks cleaner. Much better than the current badge. Still not sure we need the FC and founding date though. | |

It's got a bit of Hypatia Sans Pro about it as well...

I'd love to see the version you tried with a gold /yellow background. |  |

Interesting and thoughtful effort. Logos are always contentious - and the simpler the better often seems the best option.
I see someone has already shared my own view - that the red is an unwarranted extra. I also think you overegged it with the fetlocks - make the horse looks like it is wearing 1920's football boots.
On a slightly more cynical note the club is now an offshore investment - so a background of £ and$ signs, or the horse tilted and drowning in a river of debt might more be appropriate to the modern club
Interesting artcile though - thanks for sharing | |
