POLL: The New Club Crest

[Aceface]

I would love to see this on our shirt instead of the yellow/gold nonsense they are offering up.

Yep. I feel like we're missing a trick a little bit if we go with the glossy Arsenal style angle. Because the ironic thing is that the older badges, specifically the ones circa the 1960s when it was just the hammers in light blue, almost have a more modern feel to them now than either the current badge or the proposed new badge - it's come full circle.

:shock:

Just another idea!!!

To me that doesn't look right like that. White text inside the crest or done in the same style scroll as todays version might look alright.

It was just a different take on the original to maybe modernise it but not in a drastic way!

I think as Aceface pointed out, if a mega modern approach is taken it becomes dated far too quickly (Arsenal).

FWIW I think the WBA crest is a nice design.

I really don't think you can better the previous version you done so well, other than bold white text and reused the Clubs updated version of the Hammers in claret. Great work as always.

The 'Hammers' are a slightly different shade as they are taken from photoshop into illustrator - not time to alter!!

these duck-hammers suck, the previous ones are much better

Sorry, but we are all doing that, I have come up with some ideas that other people are tweaking - it's what Graphic Design is!

Yeh I know, I've been a graphic designer for the last 16years. I was just saying

As good as it looks on screen, the white text on a sky blue background will not stand out enough once embroidered guys. It is ok for the word London which is to be seen as secondary but for the club name it will not stand out enough.

If we are using white text for the name it will have to be on a claret background. Hence my mock which incorporates the retro looking crest and the recognisable typography.



Simple and effective.

The one on the left makes me think of Arsenal

Yep - the colour scheme just isn't right at all.

It would be better to see it with these changes:

• ~ OS Navy Blue replaced by Light Blue
  ~ Yellow Ball and "London" replaced with White
  ~ "1895" removed
  ~ IRON metallic coloured Hammers, not Golden!!

I really don't understand what Yellow or Gold colours have to do with West Ham..?!

[si_preston_hammer]

True Sutts, hence this one earlier.

Just showing what people asked for.

I like just the claret and blue personally.

For you warp!

i wouldn't have problems with something like that, or the one just above here.

Not for me but decent effort

Really like that, clean and simple, much much better than the official one

Hopefully WTF are visiting this thread

I think that's pretty good, like the rivets.

Any chance you could make the shield shape less goon and more warrior?
