It looks like the sign of a proper old pub that's had a refurb and now calls itself a 'bar and eating house'.
Take the old badge. Add FC to Watford and swap the Hart for a hornet. No need for a commission, competition or anything else. Pay an art student or Carlos a couple of grand and Job done.
An army battalion built for the sole purpose of kicking people in the balls with heavy grade military footwear ? I thought we defeated the Nazis in 1945.
Guess you saw it's 10 grand for the overall winner. I think it's likely to be someone with a graphic design background (not Carlos) who will produce the winning design. The design brief states it has to be a hornet and can be any shape though adds "Watford FC like that its current badge isn't a traditional circle or shield shape" So i guess they are looking for something alone the same lines as we already have. My guess is the club are wanting a hornet design for marketing purposes but are going for a Brexit type public vote to appease the traditionalists. "they arent going to vote that silly moose thing back in.. are they?" (our poll stands on 50/50 for a new badge)
'Penes'. Pronounced 'pee-neez'. Sometimes people just say penises. Mostly people don't talk about more than one. Snakes have two hemipenes, but they only use one at a time. I don't know why. It might account for a certain ex-, unlamented, manager's smug smile, though.
Godwin's 2nd law. "As wfc forum discussion grows longer.. the probability of the conversion turning to cocks reaches 1"
Kind of on topic, I like the look of Progres Niederkorn's badge, though sadly it's not as appropriate with our kit change this season
Almost. Some smart-arse branding expert will tell the club that a downward pointing logo ie the bottom of our badge is negative. So, all of what you suggest but flip the badge upside down so the point goes up.
meisters 3rd law As wfc forum discussion grows longer, the probability that Yellow by cold play will be mentioned reaches certainty.
Why don't you just use the original badge as the background (maybe changing the colours and font)? That pentagon looks a bit odd/bottom heavy. And why does the hornet appear to be wearing a bikers' helmet? Aside from that, the hornet at least looks alright relative to others posted here - did you draw it yourself or find and adapt the graphic?
Nice but now I've visualised it as a pair of demonic eyes lookign at me I'm going to have nightmares.
Not bad. Probably best I've seen and that includes the 'pros'. It does look a bit like the Wolves eyes thing and it does look like a bee. Not sure how we are going to get past that though.
Funny how people see things different ways. Personally i like the shape of that pentagon and think the current one is "top heavy" The one top right here is my favourite badge that the club has produced (in the 70's) though i dont think it ever appeared on a kit? Overall i think people seem to prefer the more cartoonish designs.. which is worrying.
No.. i mean yeah, i saw someone mention it on here but wasnt sure of the meaning (ive since googled it) PS If the public can vote for Brexit i shouldnt be at all surprised if we end up with a cartoon hornet!
What else can it be though? The hert is already very cartoony. That's the nature of designing a badge I think.
Well there's cartoony and there's not so cartoony. The Hornet on Nath's badge wouldnt look out of place in a comic book.. our current moose would and some other designs are more stylised than ours. Actually some badges dont have anthing particular depicted on them at all, Stoke & Fulham for instance.. and in Europe it's often the case. PS It wont be another hart (hert) on our redesigned badge. It has to be a hornet or the existing badge.
