drewmelbcity Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Melbourne Heart is dead. Only have to look at how Melbourne City keeps referring to "the club that would become Melbourne City" since the rebrand to see that they don't see it as one continuous club. Don't try and kid yourself otherwise. Â The fans decide whether Melbourne Heart is dead or not, i'll purchase the new home top, wear it to the games and i'll also be bringing my old school Melbourne Heart scarf along to wear with it. At the end of the day i'll pay homage to my past and respect our new image at the same time. No one is stopping supporters wearing the red and white jerseys to the game and I doubt the city group will try to do so (considering the away top is red n white) at the end of the day I want to see my club succeed and pull in the crowds and I hope that all old supporters get behind it whether your in white and sky blue or the red and white.

I'm just being realistic. You're fighting an uphill battle as supporters saying it's the same club, when in everything the club has released so far is effectively saying that they're a new club. Just look at the diagram posted on the previous page. Don't get me wrong, I'm not happy with that view and it pisses me off, but the club itself doesn't see it the way you do.

InMyHeart Posted June 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I think most were nervous when City bought us and the fact that what we were may change dramatically..... All in all the changes haven't been all that bad, the name is a tick so too the badge, the colours of the kit has worked out alright. and thus people who may have thought there would be a, sky blue everywhere b, no red and white  Were completely against this a couple of months ago... this didn't happen and hence the continued participation with the club 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackout Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) I like the new logo, the dominant colour is clearly red - hopefully this will see some red make its way into the home kit in time. Admittedly it is a little too similar to NYC's crest, but the logo itself I'm a fan of. Edited June 16, 2014 by Blackout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billyheart Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Like the idea of the logo, the yellow/gold though hasn't grown on me like the rest has. I think 5 colours with the light on a white makes it too busy, would live to see more mock ups with just the two blues, white and red. Or maybe a darker "charcoal" in place the the yellow. I can see its class, I like the connection with NYCFC and the two little hearts on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 You know your club has a great badge when at first you don't like it and then it grows on you. I think it's best quality is that it just feels authentic, like it was hand drawn that there was labour involved and not just mocked up in illustrator in 5 mins.

Moraiwe Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) Depends upon whether you define its identity as being simply the building itself, or the atmosphere it creates. A building can be renovated and end up with a completely different feel. As such it's easy to see it as being a new place.

Red or Dead Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I definitely like it, but it does seem strange to have 'MCFC' as well as 'Melbourne City Football Club' on it.  The hearts are a great touch, and I love the font used (Gotham). I also think it's great that the Melbourne flag was incorporated into it, and I'd like to think this is a nod to the fans using the flag for the last few years. The 4 redrawn icons work well, and it's clever and quite subtle to use the ship from the Man City crest (even though I'm not a Man City fan. The opposite in fact).  I wouldn't have put the crown on it, even though I know it's on the Melbourne flag, but that's more to do with my personal opinion of the monarchy than anything else.  Overall it does have a great 'traditional' football crest feel to it.  I'm a fan, whenever we had threads before the takeover about changing the badge I liked the ones people designed that included our flag in them. It gave them more of a traditional feel.Wouldn't mind an est 2008 on it though. I think it'd look great if they removed the MC {crown} FC and replaced it with 20 {crown} 08. It's a shame our first ever game was on 05/08. If it was on 20/08 the 20 08 would've had a double meaning! ;-)  To be realistic though; I have a suspicion that the MC FC on the red cross might be a reference to our parent club and not Melbourne City...hence the need to have Melbourne City Football Club and MC FC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I suspect that could be deliberate. Means that in certain circumstances, just the internal circle can be used. For example, as a label or whatever. Â Once the whole trademark is registered then I would say the distinctive elements of it are also protected. For example, even if we use the inside circle of our badge, there can be no confusion with the City of Melbourne because of the MCFC. Â Just guessing of course!

Robinho Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 A Man City fan mate in Sydney asked me what the symbols on the centre of the new badge represent. I told him... The whale represents the huge lies told by CFG re. 'kept the white' from the old colours, when they really wanted sky blue but the FFA and Sydney would not sanction it. The bull represents all the bullshit CFG spouted re. listening to the fans. The sheep represents all of the citeh fans that have jumped the bandwagon. The ship represents the loyal foundation members sailing away into the sunset. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
