Aleksz Posted 11 April 2016 Posted 11 April 2016 Hi all, I'm about to start my final project of a Graphic Design course at university, in which I'm basing on our club! Im taking on the sensitive and challenging project of rebranding the club with a new badge before rolling it out to a new website, programme and promotional material. As fans, i'd like to think that we'd be consulted by the club on what we'd like to see if that was to ever happen, so i thought it would be a good idea for the research area of my fictional project to do the same. What do you dislike about the club badge currently? Or do you think its way too sensitive and traditional to change? Or maybe you feel things do need freshening up? I don't know, but I look forward to seeing your feedback, it will be a huge help!

AKCJ Posted 11 April 2016 Posted 11 April 2016 Needs more explosions, guns and big motorbikes because football is for men and our badge doesn't represent that imo.
Dan Posted 11 April 2016 Posted 11 April 2016 This isn't much help but I'd change nothing on ours. I think it's class.
kingcarr21 Posted 11 April 2016 Posted 11 April 2016 Tom Hoppers Bumhole should be on there somewhere
Captain... Posted 11 April 2016 Posted 11 April 2016 As a hypothetical scenario, maybe as a one off season with a commemorative badge to celebrate an anniversary or a success I would like to see a return of the fox and crop, or a reworking of that badge (for an anniversary badge with a retro kit) or a tweaking of the current badge to incorporate a star to represent a league win or something (as if that would ever happen) but in a hypothetical scenario, maybe replacing the cinquefoil with a star could be okay. To completely rework the badge it would have to look awesome and carry some meaning and not be a shameless branding exercise, so no #fearless or any other bullshit. You could even incorporate the 2 badges, so the fox and crop shield with the fox head from the current badge. I don't know how people would feel if they tried to incorporate Buddhist designs and symbols into the badge and branding, as a hypothetical branding exercise it could be an interesting project, but in reality it would be greeted with a lot resistance.
Voll Blau Posted 11 April 2016 Posted 11 April 2016 If it ain't broke etc. Maybe the year of our foundation underneath, but that's about it.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 11 April 2016 Posted 11 April 2016 This isn't much help but I'd change nothing on ours. I think it's class.This
Captain... Posted 11 April 2016 Posted 11 April 2016 This isn't much help but I'd change nothing on ours. I think it's class. That would make a great graphic design project, I took the existing badge and did nothing with it because it is class now give me a first!
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 11 April 2016 Posted 11 April 2016 Might need a way of incorporating a star in it some how?
mozartfox Posted 11 April 2016 Posted 11 April 2016 Do not change, Nothing wrong with it. Hopefully we can add a star somewhere quite soon
Jimbo Posted 11 April 2016 Posted 11 April 2016 #FEARLESS Do away with the whole badge and just have this........

ElusiveEd Posted 11 April 2016 Posted 11 April 2016 Maybe the phrase" Chat Shit Get Banged" incorporated somewhere? Maybe not!
filbertstreet Posted 11 April 2016 Posted 11 April 2016 why not do another club's badge, ours is nice
Finnaldo Posted 11 April 2016 Posted 11 April 2016 'Foxes Never Quit' in one of those banner scroll type things across the bottom, an old school football (similar to the one on Birmingham's badge) above it, with a fox sitting upright looking forwards, probably a fairly basic design lie the Owl on Wednesday's badge. With 'Leicester City FC' above that, maybe 1884 written under the scroll. The shape wouldn't be too different to the Cambridge United one, probably with the scroll more proportionate to the ball.
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 11 April 2016 Posted 11 April 2016 The badge is perfect - recognisable, unique, not tacky, still looks modern despite being only subtly updated since its introduction in 1992. Would not change it, although for important anniversaries (/winning the Premier League etc) I don't mind a one-off with gold or another tweak Credit to JJJS Still relevant! What a bizarre season
Dan Posted 11 April 2016 Posted 11 April 2016 That would make a great graphic design project, I took the existing badge and did nothing with it because it is class now give me a first! I just saw an opportunity to praise something about the club that rarely comes up and took it honestly ours is one of my favourites, can't knock it one bit.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 11 April 2016 Posted 11 April 2016 If you're doing a complete re-design for the sake of an art project, do it in the shape of the old shield badge, love that crest.
Captain... Posted 11 April 2016 Posted 11 April 2016 I just saw an opportunity to praise something about the club that rarely comes up and took it honestly ours is one of my favourites, can't knock it one bit. I can't disagree it is class, still looks good after quite a few years with minor tweaks here and there, it probably is the best badge in the league, but then I am biased. It would be interesting to see how other clubs viewed it and ranked it amongst the other badges. Although a retro badge and kit for our 150 year anniversary would be cool.
Finnaldo Posted 11 April 2016 Posted 11 April 2016 If you have the chance to re-design the current one; do that, it'll take done doing to beat that one. Bearing in mind I'm a sh!t artist and have no design graphics background, I did a two minute sketch whilst I had a free minute. Feel free to sneer/criticise it but it's the best I could do in my extremely limited ability
Jace Posted 11 April 2016 Posted 11 April 2016 Wouldn't change ours especially when there are about 200 Leicester badge tattoos booking in for May
Countryfox Posted 11 April 2016 Posted 11 April 2016 Leave it leave it leave it ! Its the best club badge out there by a country mile ..... If you want to do some designing perhaps an LCFC themed pair of pants or knickers .... that should keep you busy.
