" Mixed New Badge idea "

Why does everybody think the dragon represents Tan? As far as I though, it was put on as a symbol because you don't get many red bluebirds, and they went for the Dragon because it's been on the Cardiff badge before and is a symbolization of a welsh king?

Because when he said he wants to be represented on the crests for his cultures and beliefs, then the red dragon immediately springs to mind as he didnt stop harping on about it when explaining the rebrand and its merits for the far east markets?!

I have had a go a designing badges, using the Ninian Park CCFC logo, lots of blue, big round bluebird, 70's yellow and white, the bluebirds nickname, and it all looks pretty good, until you start adding Tans representation symbols, and then it just looks cluttered and inconsistent.

I am dreading the final choice, as unlike some, the club crest is of massive importance to me.

The crest isn't too important to me (it's changed majorly 4 times since the 80s) but I can kinda see why people feel it's important.

I think as long as we get something which is

1 - Blue (can't see it being anything else)
2 - Has the bluebird (and Dalman already noted that that was taken on board)
3 - Doesn't have "too much Tan" on it

I think most will be fine. A lot of people are saying to go back to the old badge but it never really grabbed me. I mean it's ok and all and I don't mind it, but I would like to see what they come up with as well.

I think most of us have had a go at designing a badge or two now and most of them have had good elements and bad elements in different ratios but hopefully the rumours are true that they already have 5 different designs being made up.

They even admitted that the last badge was rushed and not thought through properly and that they wanted to make sure they got it right this time (and after saturday's match they've seen what can happen if they get the fans onside) and I think they will *probably* gauge public opinion on which to go with from a shortlist

Fingers crossed, eh.

Yes the badge is very important to many of us.
I hope Tan doesn't ruin it.
It's a real shame we have to have yet another badge.
The one he took from us should be given back as far as I'm concerned.
