Stoop Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 It’s magnificent The current one is an abomination imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldowl67 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Simply the best. I dread to think how many times I've doodled that Owl over the years both at school and work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miffed Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 In a world where many large corporations around the world are reverting to simple and very minimalistic logos, this would have been absolutely perfect. Easily recognisable the world over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJMortimer Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 No contest. And I don't recall anyone saying they preferred the current version outside of the boardroom. I love how minimalist and unique the 1970s-2010s logo is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royalowlisback Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 It's like when Royal Mail changed it's name to Consignia, what the hell does that even mean? One of the oldest, respected and recognisable names going, binned for something that sounds like a cheap deodorant. They had the good sense in the end to change it back, like we should with the badge, the current one is just a cr4p Oldham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickswfc Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Especially whilst retro stuff is in fashion too, just the simple owl without a crest as above on a shirt would be perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sham67 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Not sure if I've mentioned it before, but I prefer the current badge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyTiger Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 It's iconic and instantly recognisable to most football fans in the UK, some brands pay millions of pounds to achieve that but we have cast it aside in favour of something with much less impact. Its not that I hate the new badge, just that its nowhere near as good as this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hk_owl Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 We’ve pretty much handed the logo over to Bellroy and October’s Very Own - two premium brands who are doing quite well off of it. OVO, a company founded in 2011, are now taking legal action over the logo of a company founded in 2013 (Bellroy) and demanding a share of profits... IMO Chansiri and his lawyers should honour the legacy of Robert Walker and his amazing design - and get involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you, the badge on the 97 shirt is my favourite. I appreciate I go against the majority but I never really liked the minimalist owl however i feel the club is missing out on revenue by not using it on merchandise as there is a great demand for it.
