As it comes to it for the return to our identity is now complete. We are blue and the badge despite the silly dragon is what I've wanted. Job done.

Agreed :ayatollah: This will look really good on the blue shirts and leaves us in no doubt about our history. I'm even OK with the dragon and the explanation given for that.

Just the football and manager to worry about now :lol: :roll:

Never liked Tan but not going to vote no for the sake of it. The badge is fine as far as I'm concerned.

Much prefered the old one before the rebrand, but this one is a big improvement, so I'd have to vote yes

Sorry but I just don't like it. It's just not contemporary or as classy as it could have been and that's nothing to do with the dragon, there's too much white, but pleased to see a bigger bluebird and it's better of course than what we had, just think that some of the fans designs were much much better. But despite me not liking it, it's an improvement and feels more like Cardiff City. So Tan must be applauded for a complete reversal now

Could have fitted the word bluebirds on it, or put 2 little footballs either side. Your right, there is to much white

I try not to moan at things, always stick up for the club, whether it be certain players or even Russell slade when all the fans are giving him abuse but this is one thing I can't back. We're in no way red or Asian so the border and the red line has to go I'm afraid. He didn't want the oriental dragon when he did the original rebrand so why now? Just to make something different for the sake of it when he could have given the original badge back. The original had a red dragon for him and it was all Welsh related. Welsh not Asian.

Always going to be those that didn't like it whatever, but I don't think it's too bad. The red trim is worse than the dragon imo. But I prefer plainer badges so I think it's quite nice

He could have saved £000's by just using a tried and tested (and well liked) badge from before. How long did this tacky badge take to design and at what cost in the nursery drawing class?
Our proper badge with the bluebird, daffodil and Welsh dragon would have been just fine.

Why interfere with everything? Imagine if we did the same to his culture and traditions?
Is the weasel "dragon" symbolic of Tan?

This badge poll will filter out the fans that just like to moan no matter what. I dont like the red worm either but wouldn't like a welsh dragon either. Both would like a afterthought, like token bluebird on last badge. But the badge is a yes from me.

Re: ' New CCFC badge poll '

Mon Mar 09, 2015 11:09 am

The badge gets a yes from me. Nice big bluebird. The red trim is fine, as it reflects the colour of the away kit. I'm not bothered about the small dragon. Most people will see it as just part of our Welsh culture. Its a bit knitpicking to argue whether or not its an Oriental or Welsh dragon. Neither are real!!

I like it, and hope they're allowed to use it on the big screens this season or will we have to keep looking at the other one?

I have said this before and firmly believe that when Vincent Tan came to the club he came with the best intentions!!!!!

Over the years his NAIVETY in how to run a football club has been extremely apparent. Football is not an exact science and he certainly has not been helped by those who were supposed to run the club on a daily basis from Board Members who were owed millions and found Tans naivety an easy way to get their money back to some of his own appointments who were awful like Lim!!!

With the Rebrand being reversed and the Club Badge more to our History and identity I think Vincent Tan is slowly starting to realize that Football is like NO other business on the planet. Yes he has made mistakes and he surely will in the future but once we are on a more stable financial footing I think we will kick onwards.

He has done most of what we want so far this year, back to blue, a better badge and once this season is over he will no doubt bring in a Manager with a backroom staff that will be better equipped to get to the Premier League. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

At first I didn't like it, but yes it's more basic but they say less is more,

It's deffo growing on me that's for sure!

Yes he is staying - bigger than Barcelona in about 5 years :D :thumbup: :laughing6: :bluescarf:

I think hes definitely staying that why he got an oriental dragon on it if he was we probably wouldnt have that dragon but dosent bother me because the bluebird now slays the dragon yesssss!

I agree with the principles of the badge however it is by no means acceptable.

This continues to show the amateurish way our club is run and will be perceived from the outside.

The badge looks nothing more than childs play on a quick half hour lunch break to get something created.

A club badge marks the beginnings of a clubs identity and should be treated as such. This is just a joke.

I would've preferred the lazy option and used the badge on the Forum banner, with an oriental dragon replacing the daff.

Without the dragon that would be class, but even with it it's fine

"Exceptable" - no.

"Acceptable" - possibly.

Re: ' New CCFC badge poll '

Mon Mar 09, 2015 12:14 pm

it is acceptable, imo. As much as I accepted Sam's badge, I liked the traditional shield with daffodil and dragon above the bluebird more. But it's ok, the bluebird is THE prominent feature, that's what's most important.

I never understood the fuss about the daffodil and dragon. Yes we are a Welsh club playing within the English system, but we are Cardiff City the bluebirds...thats its. If we feel so Welsh, well lets jack in the Emglish pyramid and joined the LoW.

We have Wales to be overly Welsh

Whether we think it's the best badge we could have possibly got or not, it's pretty much what most fans asked for!

The main complaints were that we wanted the badge to be back to blue and the blue is now far more prominent, whilst the red has been reduced to a small border line!
We wanted the dragon to be less imposing and now it is!
We didn't want the dragon above the Bluebird and now it's not!

Personally, I prefer the Pre re-brand badge, but I think it's time to move on now!

Re: ' New CCFC badge poll '

I like it.

Re: ' New CCFC badge poll '

Mon Mar 09, 2015 12:45 pm

I quite like it. Not a fan of the red trim and oriental dragon, even if it resembles the one on Cardiff City Hall. Vincent Tan may be the owner but that should not give him the right to alter our identity, no matter how minimal.

Overall opinion; 10 times better than the last one.
