Thanks for the lossless guarantee but it's about perception by the human eye and not the ability for modern technology to reproduce things in miniature. (I worked on products in vector format for ten years so I am not totally unaware of the concept).

And thanks for your usual sarcasm. You're talking utter nonsense TBG which you don't normally do, but you really are talking out of your arse here. I really doubt you actually had ten years worth of experience with vector files as you'd know the quality doesn't change no matter what the size. To then change what you're saying to be that it's about perception of the human eye is nonsense. Where exactly are you imagining the badge so small that it will lose all this detail?? You're actually making issue where there just isn't anything wrong

In TBG's defence the eye can only resolve a certain amount of detail. So the further you are from something the harder it is to see fine detail - hence why 4K TV's aren't much improvement over 1080P TV's unless you are sat on top of them where you can see the pixels on the 1080P TV.

I think it is this he is getting at, not the ability to print at the finer detail.

I get this is what he's getting at, but how is this dragon any different on the human eye than the old dragon & leek? It's just petty criticism

I forgot to say that Barclays have not abandoned the fancy version of the eagle but use the simplified version for certain purposes.

Although this badge isn't going to win awards any time soon it is undoubtedly a Cardiff City badge and that's all I ever wanted.

Mushu could have been incorporated into it better, I agree with the poster who said it looks like the designers were afraid of their own idea, but if we are going to lose our minds over something lets remember that there wasn't any consultation. Again.

I actually quite like the simplicity of it. Has a bit of a retro feel. There I've said it.

The dragon and red outline looks a bit odd but I'm not overly offended by it given the prominence of the bluebird and removal of the "fire and passion" garbage. Just a bit unnecessary and tarnishes the otherwise clean design a bit for me.

Overall, another step in the right direction imo.

I totally agree. I think that there is too much white, that it could have been incorporated in a better surround and that having an oriental dragon is rather silly but that central feature is most welcome, it has to be said.

Away with the ragworm. Nice font, 'A Berjaya Company', right around the bottom of the bluebird. Innit?

Its not bad, probably on a par with the 88-03 badge

Tan always said he wanted us to find our own Mushu 😊

Urgh. Way better than his last effort but why does the dragon look so pathetic? Its like a weasel.
He's obviously out to piss us off, but a Welsh dragon at the bottom would have looked brilliant.

Agreed

We got the Bluebird where it belongs thats the main thing.I am happy to see the Dragon where it is.It is a small compromise for us to make.

The badge is ok the dragon spoils it.

Badge is more than alright IMO.
We've put up with worse - Hammams crap St Davids cross commercially rooted beermat for one.

The main thing is - it looks fine to be going on with.
It will change again.
We do understand that it is not a 'design for life' eh? http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/smiley.gif

It will do for now IMO. I'd even go so far as to say I like it.
It is a Bluebird. It has no tacky slogan. It's almost 'retro' looking.

I dont mind the dragon. It's small and will one day be gone, along with the benefactor it represents.

We have bigger concerns than the badge now I reckon.

This thread is so predictable.
TLG and Jirga will be negative and sarcastic, TVB will just be negative, TBG will be pedantic, Penaeth Blues and Mario will be sensible, Baker and Cardiffi will be slightly weird.

The Vast majority will say it's ok and better than where we were.


The End 😊

Nice badge. Looks really good.

Honest...

Another new kit to go with the others for me this summer and another intriguing chapter in our crazy club's history.

I'm not on here enough to bring the mood down so I wouldn't worry. The team seem to be managing to do that pretty well themselves.

No offence was taken http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/smiley.gif I think this is the first time I've ever seen a personality assigned to my Internet posts, and it was a surprise as you don't really think people are paying attention to what you post unless you're a TLG type poster.

Hang on, are you my wife? My wife is the only person I know that calls it Leckworth. She also says Adamstown.

I'm happy, would prefer just the circle and Bluebird (hate pointless shields) but can't really complain about the Bluebirdedness of it all.

I think people were hoping for a cool new design, but we got retro eighties instead.

The dragon at least has the Welsh dragon stance, which is a nice touch and can be easily changed in the future.

That looks fine. No Fire & Passion, it's in the right colour; there is a bluebird on it. The dragon looks a bit odd simply because of scale. I've got no problem with it being there, we've had daffodils, footballs, a big yellow cross. Another dragon doesn't really bother me. If anything, the sort-of-3d effect and the shape of the crest is more offensive as they look a bit mid-90s, but if you blanked out the club name and asked a football supporter whose badge it was, I'm pretty sure they would be able to identify it as ours.

The most important thing is can people tell at a glance that it's us and the answer is yes (unlike with the beermat).

IT NOW MATCHES MY MUG, COASTER, MOUSEMAT AND SCARF !

I can't quote on my phone, so hopefully you see this TBG.

I wasn't making any personal criticisms in fact I actually said you normally speak a lot of sense however I'm just disagreeing with you here. I think you're correct when you say overcomplicated designs don't transpire well at a smaller size in some cases (look at Wigan's old badge) but this new Cardiff badge is very simplistic. I just can't see how you're making that point on this thread

I am not sure if you were born when I became aware that a map of London could easily be fitted on a pinhead, courtesy of vector data but you are welcome to both disbelieve all the above and to ignore the point totally.

TBG is responsible for registering trademarks?! I'm surprised he hasn't mentioned that before!

When Tan is gone the club will go the same way as nobody in their right mind will fund a debt the size of CCFC. When clubs like Aston Villa and Newcastle can't find buyers we have no chance. Sometimes we have to be realistic. Tan has compromised and so should we.
