New website and badge

I actually like the subtle changes, looks crisper and more professional. Understand the idea of it being uniform too (there being a good number of versions), I even remember us having arguments here about whether there should be a full stop at the end…

Personally, and although I love the badge, I would’ve actually been interested in a completely new badge being created, perhaps one which reflects the town today (perhaps incorporating the Dock Tower as a symbol of our fishing heritage whilst acknowledging that we’re sadly not the fishing port of 50 years ago). But I know I’m in a strong minority there, so imo, a small change which looks more modern and creates uniformity is good.

The font is the same as the Premier League shirt font from 1997/2007. [url] https://www.footyheadlines.com/2018/08/full-premier-league-kit-font-history.html[/url] Will they have needed dispensation for that? I have no idea who, if anybody owns that typeface.

Like others have mentioned, an odd time to drop a new logo. Given that there was no prior warning and fan consultation. It just seems to go against all these principles that were laid out to fans in the early stages post takeover.

The new website looks good though. Far cleaner user experience.

I'm not really that bothered but looking at those side by side I do think I prefer the old one.

I prefer the way the banner is colour separate at the top, while the new one merges the elements.

That's the way I view it, it looks like someone has forgotten to make the banner a separate part of the badge. Looks a bit  naff.

Also just viewing the new website on my phone there doesn't seem a simple way to reject all cookies like most sites. I can't be arsed to visit sites that don't give you that option.

It's not the same.

Website is nice and clean - definitely an improvement.

Surprising that there was no consultation on a badge redesign - even it's just a refinement - especially when the club have committed to these principles outlined by Fair Game.

Regards the typeface and having read the website, I would expect the designers know what they’re doing with the copyright. Regarding the consultation process, it seems to tally with the levels of communication and transparency which seem to be diminishing week by week.

Jesus, bring back the football then you can have something rather more important to moan about.

It looks more modern and sleek if they'd done the redesign but left the flag off. I quite like the changes otherwise, although it is a little weird having the gaps under the banner in black and not white.

The flag is ugly, egotistical and out of keeping with the badge. And as for this fair play malarky that we've signed up to, it's a bit of a shock to see a badge messed with out of nowhere when that's one of the things they specifically mention as being sacred.

If they really wanted to put the date on, they could have put it on the banner bits that come down and it's not really affecting the heritage so much.

Yep. Can’t wait.
