Karl's Badge Design

Fri Jun 15, 2012 5:07 pm

It seems both boards are unanimous on this being the best design (not the original round one) some people have it on their Facebook pages and as their avatars. Me I think its one of my favourite CCFC badges ever!!

Can someone with any kind of inside links or the mythical inner circle ram this in front of the noses of the powers at be at CCS Towers. Or the very least get the Echo in and run a news story on its popularity?

WELL DONE TO KARL :ayatollah:
A pro designer mate who is a real cynic seen it last night and was VERY IMPRESSED. Was speechless at the beermat mind you. :evil:

Which one is Karls? Can you post a link please? :ayatollah:

Great badge, by far the best I've seen. I'm sure the only barricade to its usage is the rather enormous Malaysian shaped one.

I have been in contact with Alan Whiteley about it and he's asked if I can pop in and see him.. But that was before the vt statement and so I'm not sure if that will go ahead now as vt has kind of made it clear he's keeping his badge... Although Im also pretty sure I'm the welsh designer that tried to change their minds lol..

I was actually looking forward to getting involved in giving the fans a badge they could be proud of. Maybe next year eh?

I emailed the club about your badge and to be fair Alan whitely replied very quickly. He said that even though it may be too late for this season the club would "revisit and involve the fans going forward to come up with a more iconic badge for the future".

I hope it's not too late but if it is it's worth keep pushing even if it means we have to wait a while

Don't discard the original circular badge will you.
Both the Bluebird and the dragon are facing the right way, the Dragon is breathing fire and the Est 1899 is positioned better.
It is perfect.

added 2 welsh dragons and a tiny shield with pick and shovel...

true, what I like about the latest version is, that the bluebird is larger and in the centre of attention
