The designs are all nice, but the MV one reminds me of Police sleeve rank insignia/stripes




The republican in me says the crown should go though.

Welcome to the forums Dave. Some nice work there. I noticed you didn't include logos for WSW, MC and BR, would like to see your take on those ones as well.

Not that I can speak for him but those 3 logos are the best ones we have so probably thought they don't need to be touched. They are much more football specific rather than the clipart logos most other clubs have.

It is all a big improvement on what is on offer atm, what we have now is a bit too cartoon style and as someone else said your designs are more mature.

That's the main reason I'd like to see his take. The current WSW logo is great and I don't think it needs much improvement, so I am curious how(or if) it can be improved upon. Personally the BR lion reminds me of the Peugeot logo, and could be more unique and original. Conceptually the MC logo makes sense, but it isn't the most aesthetically pleasing logo out there.

I like most, Phoenix could be bigger for the 'Nix. Never been a big fan of our logo, it was designed by Terry's brother.

STEVEN LOWY’S OPEN LETTER TO FOOTBALL FANSThe initiatives outlined at Tuesday’s launch include;;

A refresh of the A-League brand to connect more fans to the competition as viewers, members, ticket buyers and consumers of digital content.• .

Nothing wrong with getting everyone's response and general feeling about a concept, it may have even started out as a bit of fun? Nothing wrong with being an opportunist, you need to be nowadays.
What do you think of the designs btw?

Actually youre right come to think of it... i saw it as an immediate improvement on our bubble-like current logo... but now all i see is vic pol in both designs. Thanks a lot tsf lol

And yeah as others have alluded the crown is left field..

Edit. and the FC looks isolated down the bottom on its own...

Really good work. 

Particularly like thew MV one.  Would be interested to here what MV supporters think.  (Adelaide and Phoenix are great too.)

Can you put up the Brisbane one if you've done it?

Cheers mate.
Nope, didn't touch Bris since they re-did theirs and I don't mind it. might have crack at some point though

Just noticed the Adelaide soccer ball logo looks a lot like the champions league logo.



Are you allowed to do that?



yeeaaah haha I couldn't be bothered creating a different version of the stars / ball at the time so just placed that in as a placeholder. I figured it got the point across until I got around to it (which I'm currently messing around with at the moment)

Love everything you've done with the exception of the Phoenix badge, which I think is excellent in its original form and hard to top - and the A-League logo itself, because it kept making me think of a Union Jack.  The rest - outstanding.

Yeah, I purposely gave it a nod to the union jack, as much as we like to take the piss out of the poms, I thought a bit of a nod to our colonial roots might be nice. I was probably wrong though haha

I like the Vuck one, although like MT earlier in the thread I am a tad puzzled as to what the Crown is meant to symbolise - plenty of Vuck supporters are quite proud of their 'anti-establishment' ways, so it seems odd to have reference to a monarchy on our crest. I'm sure Dave has a reason, but as far as symbolism goes you couldn't pick a worse club in the A-League to have a crown as part of their crest haha. I reckon if the crown was removed it'd be an excellent upgrade on what we've currently got.

I was tossing up whether or not to include the crown, put it in since Melb was formed as 'crown colony' so a nod to the cities heritage, but I agree maybe not as relevant to the current supporters. Hard to know what all the supporter groups really think about what their club represents so I was hoping posting this would give some insight.

I'll pop up a version without the crown.

You could substitute the crown for the "Victorian" southern cross that appears on the state flag. Which is different from the national flag (points on stars)

Adelaide one is awesome I think. The Victory Sydney CCM and Wellington look great. Looking forward  to the tweaks coming.

Would the A-League logo colour perhaps look better being green and gold or the colour of the flag? I can't put it in my mind but seeing and image would help to see if it's even worth changing.

I'd say very few Victory fans are the type to have a hard on for Imperial or Colonial history and symbolism.

Not real keen on the A-League logo - I very much like it (and the typeface) as is - but some of the TV graphics look very nice.

Crests? I reckon that Newcastle and Wellington actually have two of the better logos getting around - and I hate those clubs - Central Coast isn't an improvement even we really need one, but the Sydney FC one is pretty good.

FFA should get in contact with you ASAP! some of these are outstanding, particularly the A-league logo, CCM and Sydney fc.

Not a fan of Newcastle and Wellington though. I think the current ones are better though, sorry.

Overall, you certainly got talent.

And like i said try one without the fc isolated at the bottom... and tsf raises a valid point about it looking like vic pol.. dunno what could be done to alleviate it.. im suspecting thats why the orig designers went the way of bubbling-out the crest in the first place.. perhaps a completely different shaped emblem could work...like circular, for lack of a better suggestion...

Good efforts Dave. I'm not going to knock them at all but... as an Adelaide United supporter that design does nothing for me. I think AU def need a redesign but aside from the shape of the shield and the font I wouldnt fiddle with the current one as on a nice red shirt and on black it looks pretty fab. The state tricolour tape or ribbon is pretty neat and other than that I prefer just seeing lots of red and yellow and black as AU are not a state team but the tricolour thing just gives a simple nod to where the club is from.

I would like to see AU come up with a really ornate alternate crest though too.

Phoenix and Mariners are two I would just fiddle the original as well. Phoenix itself needs to spread its wings and wrap around the crest, not be so contained within the shape of it. Other than that I like it.

And Mariners circle football wave logo is an absolute classic I reckon. just ditch the silly font and wrap words around it in a circle like you've done with the AU logo and that would suit it better.

Hal logo is great. Vic looks good. Jets is an improvement I think as well.

Good work.

The only think I didn't like was "our game, our way"

We are part of something big and great and that's why people watch. Any attempt to be the black sheep of football simply alienates us from our fan base - evident with the ~78% of registered players ignoring the game

If it were me, I'd make the tagline "It's Australia's Premier League" or simply "Australia's Premier League"

Otherwise we might as well borrow from the "Un-McDonalds" advertising and have something like "A top 6 in a 10 team competition? How very un-football". "A rigged national cup draw to guarantee an underdog? How very un-football"
