Very good mate, a really comprehensive and dynamic logo set.

Incredible, the Victoria Park/Sherrin Stand thing is clever too.

Read all the comments lol. Our stupid ******* supporters all think it looks like Carlton. We've been using this monogram since at least the 1950s! I'm so glad they're bringing it back in a permanent capacity! I hate Facebook.

CONFIRMED!
To be honest mate it's fair enough. You never see that monogram, Collingwood don't really use it do they? Outside of the last couple of seasons and in a history book it doesn't exactly have a presence in the minds of Collingwood supporters. A CFC monogram is definitely Carlton, incidentally your biggest rivals. The pies have plenty to work with, they're probably better off leaving any CFC monogram and doing something different.
Big up the lady who has a top comment commending the current logo for having the Australian flag on it though, lmao.

So whatever happened to this one? Seems strange considering how much this was leaked.

It'll just be a secondary logo used on caps and the back of polos etc. which I don't have a problem with. If we just came up with a new monogram then I feel it'd be aping Carlton but this has been used for ages, at least as far back as 1953.
Lol I always laugh at anything regarding that. Nice work Pies for being a bit progressive, first backing SSM and now removing the Union Jack flag. I'm as surprised as I am appreciative.
As for the monogram though Dyl, why is there any reason why we can't stop using something for 20 years and then bring it back? It's obviously a worthy part of our history if the club decided to resurrect it for our 125 year anniversary, it's on the front of this year's memberships, back of the 2017 jumper etc.

Maybe, but I feel like it's just a teaser leading up to the big reveal on Wednesday. The historical logos have been watermarked in the background

This is gonna be it, isn't it? What's changed? As far as I know this'll be the logo (with maybe minor alterations) to be released on the 4th

Wow I love everything about this!
You've absolutely nailed the modern magpie and the logo is excellent. Way better than the leaked logo.

I'm still digging / fighting the good fight on Facey. Probably to little avail. Found this one from 1939. Nearly 80 years since first use, surely it's worth something in today's branding. It's a cool monogram.

Just the CFC stuff suggested to me they are moving into a new direction.
We'll see. A new home jumper design would be awesome to see too.
If the emotional connection is there and you don't have to plug a photo of it in an old booklet 50 years ago on Facebook for anyone to recognise it, sure. If it doesn't immediately evoke the image of your most hated rival, sure.

You know as well as any that FB supporters are nuffies. Can't clubs appeal to the purists for once? I thought you would have liked this.

It's looked like Carlton since the 1950s. Probably why they've seldom used it.
I don't really mind, I think the monogram is harmless. But it's not quite on the level of the classic nuffies-on-prison-bars commentary ("why is port in collingwood jernzeys lol!!"), it's genuinely fair enough if people think it's a bit too close to Carlton and to get upset about it.

Sure is a cool monogram, it's why we've kept it uninterrupted since 1910.I'm still digging / fighting the good fight on Facey. Probably to little avail. Found this one from 1939. Nearly 80 years since first use, surely it's worth something in today's branding. It's a cool monogram.
Seriously though, and without being snarky, it's cool if the Pies bring it back as a secondary mark. Most foundation clubs have similar interlinked monograms. They're historical and well worth revival. My only gripe is with AFC's clumsy effort - they should be interlinked and detailed.
GC should look at something similar,
