theowlsman Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I like the Torino one with the bull, or horse, or whatever it is, sneaking away on tiptoes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TheGaffer Posted January 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2021 Can't believe we went from worldwide instantly recognisable icon to what we have now. If he wanted a change all that was needed was to remove the crest and SWFC. Back to basics 13 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDOWL Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 One of the best to appear on the 80's programme's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Rimmer Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 To be honest, our crest was quality in that picture but when they started messing with it and putting it into the shield it was no better than the one we have today. It's either just the minimal owl or don't bother having it for me. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted January 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2021 It's ironic really that in an age that's all about Identity, image and brand... ...we have ditched our simple, iconic owl. A simple and instantly recognisable logo, perfect for marketing and brand identity. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighworthOwl Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 FourFourTwo voted our old badge as the best ever in football. Think it was voted by fans of all clubs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was voted by fans of all clubs. 1. Sheffield Wednesday (1973-1984, 1984-1995, 1999-2016) Now this is a badge. With no offence meant towards the blinking mascara monster that the club adopted last year in tribute to the 1950s logo, the long-running motif of a perched owl turning to camera is deservedly the most iconic incarnation of Sheffield Wednesday’s crest. Our No.1 ticks all of the nostalgia boxes, of course, but it is the artistry behind the stylised drawing that provokes this emotional reaction in football fans of a certain age. Rounded yet angular, modern yet timeless, the design is instantly recognisable and truly hard to dislike. We hope the local art student who created it still gets royalties. The official badge existed in three forms. The second incarnation took on the club’s initials as well as a psychedelic hue, and the third – introduced on the eve of the new millennium after a four-year return to a more traditional look – threw in a shield and date of foundation to go with the SWFC and owl image. Less is more, we say. Our firm favourite is the version used by Sheffield Wednesday from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s: gone, but not forgotten This is from an article about badges that are not used anymore (442) 3 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure about that? I thought the reason the stenciled owl was created in the first place was because we didn't own the rights/trademark to our badge at the time. I've not come across anything saying the stenciled owl had any trademark issues... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
