It's not a company 'employed by the club'. It's an independent company hired by the club.

I see, so they are hired by the club but not employed by them. Oh, and they are independent.

ROFL.

Tbh i have grown to the new badge - especially after seeing it on the subway in america, but everynow and then I look at it and it still looks awful.

Here is my favourite one I found on instagram (without the stars..)

I'm glad you think so too.

Looks eerily like the GOT logo though. Credit to D/D for the aceness of their crest.

I know I said this in the other thread, but I think it bears repeating. Contrast how the crest on the scarf is legible and actually represents something, while the one on the shirt is illegible and pretty much pointless. And its in this kind of environment that its used predominantly. Similarly take any of the crests on the other thread and reduce the zoom to 30%, mainly they will become an indistinct mass. And again that's how they will be used.

The whole legibility thing is complete crap, IMHO. In all honesty, what are the club expecting the crest to do, entice non-football fans to follow us because "they got a great logo, yo!"? Give me a break, any decent footy fan knows a club crest and a very small handful are going to just start following us because of the crest...stop trying to go all America with this. Major changes to stuff like this are unhealthy in general and it's not needed. If they're so bothered by how it shows in flippin' media then have a different one for that and keep the proper one on the shirt. I've never heard that you can't have two so screw it, have two.

I wonder what the badge would look like with the Dixie Dean-era monogram combined with the tower in the background?

I'll be honest, I haven't expected anyone to go "they got a great logo, yo!" since about 1990. As for the rest, its true. I mean its not as if anyones been looking for the club to get a more effective commercial and marketing strategy going, is it? Multiple logos, the way forward, we'll leave "going all America" to the Uniteds Liverpools and Spurs of the premiership, can't see a flaw there.

Right, so they appear to be confusing us again, they say here

http://www.evertonfc.com/news/archive/2013/08/22/club-crest-announcement

'' Complete a questionnaire on EvertonFC.com "

but then don't even bother to link to it, i have gone to the home page & cant see anything immediatly. If i have to search for it, they are missing the point.

No idea. Letting people have a think about it while the advertising agency finishes up other jobs? Giving it a few days in case someone raises something they haven't thought of that will change the questionnaire? Because they didn't think anyone would object to few days notice of the process starting, and they weren't due to have everything ready to go until the 27th? No idea.
