I had imagined something similar to our pre-St David's badge but an oriental dragon replacing either the daffs or Welsh dragon. That would be definitely Cardiff City and (at last) a fusion between the two cultures, but it might have also been too messy for a sleek design.

That it's the oriental dragon and not a bluebird that has been an afterthought is great, but we still have something that is clearly an afterthought on our badge.
