Opinion New North Melbourne Emblem

[bennymate]

I didn't "hate" it either mate.

Two wooden spoons with means I do really hate it.

We sure can still keep the current logo whilst working on another for next year?

ps; a few examples were provided in page 1. All are much better than ours at the moment.

We should be working off that as a template imo.

Hell you can even cut it in half, use the kangaroo and replace "roos" with NMFC..

 

[bennymate]

All are great, but the middle one is brilliant, whoever designed them needs to send them to Sonja.

Send to Sonja ASAP

Well mate if our marketing is aimed primarily at children, not the broader supporter group that are adults, then to me that is a huge mistake.

They do both. I’m just pointing out why they do the cartoon stuff and mascots.

As long as we’re NMFC then they can do what they want with the mascot.

As I'm required to call you Mr Donkey I will.

Mate that is complete and utter nonsense.

Are children our most important people now? Just do both!

* the emblem off and move forward as a club.

Not Mr Donkey, Mr Chop. You’re forgiven for the mistake.

This Emblem has to go.

It's ridiculous

 

[bhoysdontcry67]

The current emblem shits all over the previous one we had. Actually don’t mind it. Definitely a bounding roo would be the ultimate but I don’t think it needs changing in the near future. North Melbourne and a fierce looking Roo, can’t complain too much

No it doesn't.

 

[Mr Lloyd Christmas]

Not my work but excellent.

Look at this....

No it doesn't.

Yep for all the hate the 2007 one gets, it's leagues better than the current one.

Considering a 10yo did ours itsno surprise mate.

What the pissant Roo that looks like it wants a cuddle? Also reminds me of Scott, relocation, etc etc

Correct.

Our current Emblem is as bad as we are playing.

Time to move on from it

My old man worked at Ampol with Graham Melrose. I had a stack of them and a whole series of A4 ? ( maybe bigger ) sized mini-posters. Woudd been '74 or '75.

The 2007 logo was looking dated, on top of that it reminded me too much of the whole Gold Coast relocation craziness as well. The current logo is an improvement but yeah any of the bounding kangaroo logos posted by DEVO are much cleaner, more professional and a lot more ellogant vs the last 2 "realistic" cartoon logos.

My kids love that bloody away jumper.

My kids love that bloody away jumper.

I still see kids at the footy with the light blue Argentinian strip.

 

[Mr Lloyd Christmas]

Which is fine.

There is no reason why it can't stay for a few games of for extra merch sales.

Our core emblem should be much better imo

Ha! Well just in case you missed it or slightly unsure, I don't like our emblem.

Good selection.

In order:
1 - Too busy but wouldn't be the worst as an inclusion in a more modern emblem to nod to history.
2 - Good
3-6 - Solid
4 - Probably my fave of the 90's - 00's era. Clean, sharp. I'm no huge on the Kangaroos though. I'd be inclined to drop the text completely or just have NMFC under it.
5 - Abomination (probably extra tarnished by the 2007 era trauma but it is hideous, bland and weak looking)
6 - Better than the last by some margin. Not amazing.
7 Meh.

Mostly agree 100% with your assessment.

The key point ill make is my favourite is 1 but not in the way it looks there.

It's a mess/busy i agree shintemaster but I think could be amended (graphic design not my strong suit) to make it look far better.
