I don't mind the logo itself, I think if they got rid of the cartoony font and used a professional looking font, it would make the logo look much better.

Quick and dirty but you get the picture.

I doubt there are many people who dislike our current logo solely because of the font. My impression is that the hate is for the most part directed at the head, with barely an afterthought spared for the font.

Vomitous: (Adj.) Of or pertaining to vomit; tending to make one vomit; inducive of vomit; not up to scratch.

Sorry, but this logo, even if it wasn't an amateurish floating head of not a crow in not AFC colours is just symbolic of a s**t era and needs to be lost and forgotten. It says Trigg in so many forgettable ways

I received my membership renewal in the post today. The logo from the orange training guernsey was watermarked on the envelope and letter. Looks a lot better than the raptor head.

Updated: Here it is.View attachment 95377

My problem with this (and other Club documentation of late) is the way in which they use three different Crows on the same page - the 1991 crest in the 25 years logo, the Raven, and the new 'training guernsey' one. It reeks of indecision. Pick one and stick with it, and it exclusively.

I think the new Crow graphic is really just something for the season. Not a second/third logo. I wouldn't be surprised if their intention was for it to be a full body version of our current logo a bit like the Hawks have got, just it happens to be better done than the current logo. It's not actually that different, the shape of the beak is pretty much the same with the big curve which a lot of people complain about on the current logo but hasn't been mentioned with the new graphic.

Given its appearance on training guernseys I doubt the new Crow will disappear entirely at season's end - I gather those sorts of apparel tend to stick around at least 2 seasons

Looks like the club went with something very similar.


It's pretty clear that's the exact same crow image, the WFAO version just been converted to a vector path.

More than just very similar...

I'm aware that the crow with the slogan is based on the other, otherwise I wouldn't have made that post. The reason I wrote "very similar" is because there were changes made.
