Letter from the President: Brand research project​

President Dave Barham provides an update on the club's brand research project.
By essendonfc.com.au - 1 hr ago

To all our Fans and Members,

The Essendon Football Club has a proud history as one of the oldest clubs in the AFL and we have a strong recognisable brand.

We are conducting a preliminary research project which centres around the Essendon brand and its elements.

The research project is in its early phase. Members and supporters have been and will continue to be canvassed as part of this process, in addition to the engagement of multiple Essendon Football Club stakeholders.

We have a proud history of more than 150 years and a deep connection to our members and supporters. This is and will always be respected and embraced.

There is no immediate action to change the club logo or any elements of the club brand. This is a longer-term project with significant work to be completed.

We proudly recognise that our future legacy begins with our proud history.

We will always be called the Bombers.

- Dave Barham

I have a picture of it on an old bag of mine. It's hard to find on the net though.

If we change it, it will be changed into some new fancy crap.

Swords? They're planes.

Swords? They're planes.

Yes I know they are, I was sarcastically implying they look like swords due to your editing.

 

[Skeeta Olly]

You didn't seem to catch the sarcasm.

It appears so. Needed a face.

Edited my OP.

Agreed.

It's a very nice logo. Hopefully our next one is along the same lines.

I'm feeling like the sheild around ours is getting a bit outdated. The bomber still looks fine though.

Okay, just to clear things up here, I didn't mean changing the name 'Bombers'. I meant changing the design of the logo/crest/badge - whatever you want to call it. I've never liked this design:

I agree with you. never liked this one.

i think it's the grey for starters. Should just be red and black.

 

[Redb#]

Agreed.

Not bad, needs some bullets coming out of the wings shaped liked footballs



or bombs

 

[Call Me Cake]

Am I the only one who's always had a gripe with the unnatural pointy bit on the bottom of our logo?

It makes the logo look so cheesy on merchandise and whatnot IMO.

So over the last three days I've learned everyone on bigfooty (including me) is out to KILL the Essendon logo. I've been thinking of ways to improve the logo, or maybe just modernize the old one, or maybe even just a red and black college-football type E. I'm not too good at making logos so please don't make fun of this too much! Haha, this is the best I could think of (which obviously isn't saying much) Okay, so you don't have to submit anything (but it would be cool if you did ) but what are some of your ideas for a new Essendon logo?

As you can see, it's a fighter jet as there are bullets being shot from the front.
