Opinion Crows Logo - the ultimate poll

[fabs33]

Exactly. And it's also still the logo.

And there's still time to change it.

 

[fabs33]

So far of those who have voted, 50% on here and twitter hate it. A key part of our branding people hate.

Not a priority.

I look at it differently, only 11% of people who voted would feel bad if we got rid of it. That's how terrible it is!

Agreed. Feeling indifferent isnt a vote of support.

Only 10% of the supporter base (as voted) actually like the logo.

 

[Southerntakeover]

I couldn't give a shit. You guys have hated since forever.... and it's still the logo. It really is a very minute thing to get your knickers in a twist over.

I'm not sure that the public image of the club is actually a minute thing.

Our logo is the most prominent branding we have. It's on all media communication, social media, merchandising, guernseys, our app.

It is everywhere, surely it should be liked.

People that make the decisions are clearly happy with it.

And they always make great decisions.

And are they happy? What they said it wasn't a priority to change it and it's a costly exercise

I know this may be controversial, but I propose to not form my opinions in total reliance upon that fact.

Just go back to the heritage oneView attachment 337826

Showed that to a Marketing person a few year back, their comment was it reminds of the 70's and 80's a time when it was OK to go to the shops dress in Football Short, Blue Singlets and Thongs, And would not work today.

I know this may be controversial, but I propose to not form my opinions in total reliance upon that fact.

What?

I like it because I like it not for any other reason. It is pleasing to know they obviously do too. If they change it (again) I'll take the proposed new logo on face value. I didn't like our previous logo. So there you go.

 

[jenny61_99]

No they don't always (make good decisions) but they are right in this instance in that it would be a costly exercise so it shouldn't be taken lightly.

 

[Elite Crow]

Latest update, 29 hate it and 6 love it.

That's pretty damming.

feenix67 time to call another meeting.

 

[Elite Crow]

So you don't know if they like it?

And maybe if they lift their game and sell more merchandise we could pay for a new logo without hurting the bottom line.

The point of my comment was this: it's a thread asking for people's views. It's not controversial that this is our current logo. To that effect, I don't really see what is gained by pointing out that it's the logo that the club have chosen to continue with, unless it's intended that this be persuasive on opinions. In my view it's not something that is persuasive.

We have differing views on the current and past logos, that's fine.

Fair enough. Do think the posturing over this logo has gone on and on though and yet another new poll is rather pointless given the club appear to be happy with the existing one and they've pointed out that any change in logo would be a costly proposition.

Well, I think there was a contention that the views that were critical of the logo were minority, and quite sparsely held. I suppose to the extent that people wanted to clarify the broader views before communicating with the club in future, it has a function.

Equally, I'm not sure that there's any need for people who dislike the logo to cease from calling for it's change, just because it's been left in place for a period of time.

I don't accept that it would be a costly proposition btw, or that this is a reason not to do it.

What this thread does is point out that the majority here hate our logo and want it changed.

Cost shouldn't be a consideration, it should be seen as an opportunity to sell more merchandise.

Here's a test, show the Old Logo and the new one to a bunch of Kids, which one will they pick, And be Honest
Show it to the Y gen and X gen,
Which do the women supporters prefer,
Show it to the newly arrive Aussies what is their preference.
Marketing does and they go further adding weight to the buying public choice.
The Crow is a Logo that's all, and you need one that caters for the entire supporter base and future supporters. It sells the club not to yesterday members but to tomorrow's members.
The best emblems are more like a coat of Arms, that should never change.
The best Logo's change with each generation and is directed at the buying public and modern marketing strategies
Also, marketing plays a big part and now, my tip is it stay for a few more years when the AFL who owns all the logos decided on a new marketing strategy.

Why is it a choice between the old logo and the Raptor?

OK show any design you want, it's all the same.
But before you do Have a good look at the designs of all the new games out and about, the one that sells from the appearances. Look at all the Gaming PC merchandise, then I will ask do you see a trend.
The new design appeals to a crowd that buys that type of merchandise, it appeals to a crowd that spend money on looks.

Gamers don't buy games because of the cover, they buy them for the games.

There have been people who posted decent logos before, the one Macca had on the women's jumper could be developed into one. The club also uses different Crows images which look good that could be developed.

Have a look at the other clubs logos, some have been modernised. Ports, ours and West Coast look shit. The others look decent. Get us a logo that's modern but looks good and you won't have people hating it. Ours is just embarrassing and is up their with chant night for cringeworthiness.

There's no evidence that any overwhelming number of any particular group of people would pick the new logo at all.

 

[Samcro24]

Love the tiny minority that love it and will defend it to the death.

The logo is great, 10% of people can't be wrong.

You got a design or are you one of those that tear down a rather than Build
Also, some of the best games change their cover and sold more. should notice the sale of cover and Poster based on them. it Marketing

Don't be a w***er. I can't help it that your shit taste has been highlighted.

I haven't created my own design. There have been designs posted on here that I've liked. I even told you I liked the one Macca had on the women's Guernsey.

Have you got something to back up your games claim?
