Quoted from Roast Em Bobby
The re-shaping of the badge to keep it proportional when scaled up or down in size is very good, I think. However, I don't understand how they can say that the badge will work at all sizes/scales when it's nearly impossible to read the 1878 part on the flag unless it's a large sized version or you really zoom in.

Red on black is not the best in terms of contrast anyway, so sticking in a tiny 1878 makes it even worse - I'm suprised a designer from Apple would go with this to be honest. If they wanted to incorporate 1878 somewhere (which I do think is a good thing to do, as it displays our heritage) then it at least needs to be readable at the size the logo is displayed on the gtfc website. Perhaps it would have been better to have it above or below the three fish, and in white on black rather than red.


I haven't seen anyone suggest having 18 on the left and 78 on the right of the banner where the club name is. Not sure how it would look until I saw it but it would be white and more visible.

I see we are having a vote on 2 options. I agree fully with the need to bring the badge into a digital world so I hope the vote is for 2 digital options.

JS on Radio Humberside just after 2 o'clock today, so I'm sure he will explain things.

Also the legend that is Craig Disley co-commentating the match.

On the side by side, I quite like it, looks tidier I think, but what's the use of having the 1878 on there if it's pixellated at small resolutions? How does that make it digital friendly? If we're adding 1878 to it, I feel like we should really be adding it. Perhaps it could have been added in place of the 2 black triangles below the banner, 18 on one side, 78 on the other. No sweat though really and I'll be voting for it

See it was used on the scoreboard, twitter and youtube. Thought it was off out for consultation now?

Is it me or my phone but do we have two websites now gtfc.co.uk and Grimsby-townfc.co.uk assume the later will get taken down at some point but could get confusing for some

Had 5 minutes to kill so had a go at fixing it (with and without the dock tower).

Top one is brilliant. I had wondered what we could do with the elongated space left by the flag should it be removed, but to me that is the perfect solution.

Top one is perfect.
To much clutter on the alternatives.
Hope you are prepared for the offer from Apple.
