maidstoneowl Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Will always be in love with the 1970-1995 era designs - quite possibly the boldest, most memorable football club badge ever? Nice and easy to draw in the back pages of those school exercise books during double-science/French classes! 7 years in with the latest one now, wonder when/what the next version might look like? Which got me thinking, as an amateur/student from memory? (i.e. not a graphic design/branding company) designed the 1970 one, can any of you cool kidz with your fancy graphics software come up with a decent new (and maybe next) club badge/crest? And you older/comedy lot, well it goes without saying, get drawing and drop your well considered and beautifully designed offerings in as well?! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worthing_owl Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Whatever anyone can conjure up, even if it has a couple of cutlasses it, won't be worse than we have. We had such a great badge that even I could copy into school books/desks as mentioned, literally iconic. 6 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Wednesday Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 This designer does some really cool retro retakes and did a version of our mid-90s badge. https://www.instagram.com/danknorris?igsh=MXNuazd6YXVjeHppZg== Be interesting to see what they'd do with my fave, the absolutely iconic 70s graphic owl. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since 1971 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I really like them all. If I had to choose one, it would be the 1984 to 1995 badge. Technically we had another shirt and shorts badge on the Puma 1995-97 home kit. The SWFC text logo in yellow..... But I've said it before, no reason we can't use more than one badge on the shirt. One on the left chest, one on the back of the neck, one in the shadow pattern of the shirt material..... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 On the club shirt I like the latest one but it doesnt look good on leisure wear where as the 70s owl does . 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Stencil Owl is where it's at. Actual Owl or Owl after he's snorted too much marching powder not so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevOwl Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Top centre. Too many times I've been abroad on holiday sporting a Wednesday shirt and people have to ask me what shirt it is. Nobody outside of Yorkshire recognises the badge anymore. Give us back the bold outline owl that's instantly recognised as SWFC 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sheffield_dave Posted March 21 Popular Post Share Posted March 21 The 1970-84 is quintessentially Sheffield Wednesday. A total design classic. No shield, no motto's required. You could pay some graphic design/consultancy firm bags of money to not come up with anything better. At a time when more minimalist designs are returning, we've got an incredible one that we just don't use. 11 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beighton Owl 87 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I like the current one. If we were to ever change it though I'd be happy with the simplistic 1970-1984 badge 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lt109 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 1970 to 84 would be my 1st choice [ most folk would know it's ours] but the 1999 to 2016 would run it close [ it shows who we are and I like the " Est 1867" bit. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Snelldog Posted March 21 Popular Post Share Posted March 21 The 70-84 badge is the correct answer - it is a brilliant piece of design. Others are welcome to hold an alternative opinion but unfortunately, they are woefully incorrect. 9 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
