The Badge will change whether we like it or not I prefer 3 (the Book and Ball) with Design 1 in 2nd place. I don't like option 2 but can see that it would be unique and stand out. I guess whatever we vote for it will be the one that the owners like best. We are evolving as a club and are not so little old Cambridge these days so I guess we need to get used to change as there will be plenty of it coming in the next few years

I do like the little 1912 lamp post icon that comes as part of the asparagus package… and the ‘United’ book and ball when it’s extracted from the shield. Also enjoyed the video. Impressed by the approach the club is taking this time round. I’d probably pick 3; my kids both like 1. I don’t mind really, it’s not going to affect my relationship with the club in any way. Paul Barry has decided a change would be beneficial, and I don’t believe he’d force a change like this through for the sake of it. I don’t buy the ‘vanity project’ paranoia. Now let’s have a signing or two! The young un choice in my household too. Got me thinking that a modern badge is not only beneficial on a corporate level but also could be for young U's fans who'll want their merchandise to look modern and smart to fit in with the modern Arsenal cannon and the Spurs cockerel that they'll be surrounded by (in Royston at least). Edit: and, yeah, the Reality Checkpoint lamp is great 👍

Honestly see no reason why that lamp would need to be bundled in exclusively to that one.
Can we absolutely not have number 2 (it's..etc etc) but absolutely have the lamp?
If anything it's more pertinent to number 3 than number 2.

Asked my boy (7) what he preferred, his favourite was option 3.
Mine was 1.

As this is a re-branding exercise the club, or their partners, should have a good idea which of these will bring in the most revenue. All the same or is one more corporate friendly than others? The first would be the best if you could distinguish between Carlisle, Colchester and us. Well, the colour scheme does that... What colour scheme? I don't know if you looked at the mockups, but there isn't one. They're black. Or white. Or whatever suits. The amber is there by default as the usual background, but it is categorically not part of the logo itself.

Well whatever the semantics, I know these are far more likely to be Cambridge United than Colchester or Carlisle because, despite being housed on white and grey garments, the colour amber is categorically there.

Damn, you're right. The blue especially screams Cambridge United over Carlisle and Colchester

I think it works better with the bridge, because that is a link to Cambridge badges of the past (and present!)
I'd like Number 1 with the lamp post 1912 and the scarf United in Endeavour.

It's option no.1 (aka the toilet seat/the light bulb one) for me.
though on second thoughts, option 2 seems quite fitting for the coming season seeing that we're well on course for the 4th div if we don't announce any decent new signings sharpish.

The most bizarre thing about all this is some people talking about our current badge as if it’s some timeless classic. If it was a new option it’d be slagged off as cheap and tacky looking
