ionno Posted Image i guess i just wanted to make a spin-off of the kit design thread :silence: West Brom have changed theirs, vile are reported to be looking to change theirs, is it time we had a change of logo? TBH i actually really like the current logo...when it's the PROPER detailed version Posted Image and not the cheap looking versions like Posted Image but when i see the badge, i just see a globe and a ball, it doesnt really say anything about Birmingham. there's nothing symbolic on it apart from "Birmingham City" teams like Barcelona have symbolic logos theirs has the colours of Catalonia featured Posted Image PSG there's has the Eiffel Tower and the royal symbol for the former town of St. Germain Posted Image and you can see where Manchester's coat of arms feature in their 2 football clubs' logos Posted Image Man City Posted Image Man Ure (the ship part) Posted Image post continued...... |

i got to thinking, i know the Birmingham Coat of Arms can only be used by the City Council nowadays, but why not at least have a badge that uses features from it? Birmingham Coat of Arms
Posted Image i just quickly came up with.... Posted Image and Posted Image i'm clearly no professional lol, but i included the coat of arms, the Rangers style BCFC logo, a bull (commonly seen as a symbol of Birmingham) and the club name and establishment date. going back to the roots.... Posted Image Posted Image i bet i've gone and peed off everyone with a globe and ball tattoo haven't i? :LOL: but why not at at least discuss it? we've used the coat of arms before (us being the only team in Birmingham wanting to associate themselves with the City) :banner: Posted Image whatever it is, at least it means more than chAV's Peugeot rip-off :whistle: Posted Image :LOL: |

No, let's stick to the badge we've got. It is unique in design and I think it is far superior to other badges. |

I may be biased but I honestly think that our badge is the best football badge in the world. I mean, it's a football and the world with Birmingham City written on it. To me, it does not get much better than that. :Blues: |

Quite agree. To have the City's coat of arms, is not exactly original is it? How many other clubs have this. Our badge is instantly recognizable and I like it. Football fans like tradition. Blues haven't got much. They haven't even got a kit colour combination. I like to think that this badge is our little bit of tradition. I don't want a boring 'shield type' badge. With things on that have nothing to do with the Blues. |

The globe and ball is a thing of beauty. The council can have some small part if they build the new stadium. The only part I wouldn't mind is the bottom portion with "Forward" written on it. Plus, bored schoolchildren like the ball and globe because it is easy to draw in the back of their maths book when they can't be bothered. A Shield with infinite detail would be difficult to draw, and would lose the club any number of potential new fans, who choose the viler because any fool can draw a lion with some stripes. |

I think the old badge being smothed out just like the way Arsenal did thiers would suffice. |

I like the badge Now but I remember complaining to my Dad about it. My first Penguin strip had BCFC with the letters overlaying each other and I thought the Globe and Football looked to modern and tacky ;) The badge must be close to its 35th birthday I would think. :banner: |

Introduced in 1975/76 season, after a competition for a new badge. 31 years old like now. |

I reckon the globe and the football IS THE BEST logo in any sport, club in the world - second to none. To me, it is Birmingham City. I challenge anyone to show me a better football badge. The only change I'd make to it, is when we win the Champions League, as you get a nice gold star, a la Juventus: Posted Image I'd put the gold star (not too big, mind) on the football, with the ribbon crossing over it. Not too good with these image editor's, so no illustration I'm afraid. ---------Edited------- Don't ask me where I'd put the second star when we retain the cup :LMAO: |

apparently Vile are so desperate to include the star on their pink shirts that they're trying to do what Milan and Man City do and use it as part of the logo :rolleyes: would be all the funnier if they got relegated next season :D |

I like the current format but I wouldn't mind a redesign. Sticking with the same sort of format. Like so... Posted Image Posted Image |
