Maybe...but it's not neccersarily a measure of quality for me it's a measure of what it means to me and many fans who have only known that badge for the last 40 years...that's a lot of my life. It's recognition of emotion, loyalty, memories, friends and whatever, rather than anything else and I'm surprised so many people are quite so dismissive of it simply because it's dated and a bit naff.
It has a remarkable power to me, but if the board thinks it's fine to modernise and believe a new badge will help us attract the next level of investment then I'm happy enough to embrace a new era.
Feels like a new Cambridge in some ways actually with the incredible levels of investment we've seen lately so the timing feels about right.
We're great. I love this club 💛🖤

I may have given the impression I hate the current badge - not at all, how could I when I have grown up with it?
Looking at the Ryan Loft unveiling, I reflected that it still looks fine on the shirts, it's when used digitally and in print that it looks so dated.
It also impinges on us cracking that key Portuguese/Brazilian market.

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. Would 100% buy a lamp t-shirt. I love lamp

No, but is that a subliminal message to vote for option 3?

Surely if this about marketing to a new audience then whatever design we end up with we have to have Cambridge United built into it Only the well known brands can market with an Apple or a swoosh No body will spend the time working out who are are by unencrypting the shapes in our logo ? We need to shout who we are

We need to shout who we are I know that you mean Mel and so have pissed about as follows: Having initially DENOUNCED option 2 as "crap" it is now my favourite! I think the Book and Ball typeface looks good with the asparagus Abbey arches (first of these three). I'm pretty sure a graphic designer will tell you the whole name doesn't work well. But it has been tried on Book and Ball, so...

I was thinking today about option two and remembered loads of clubs had their origins from church groups so playing to that isn't very unique.

I like the Option 2 with Cambridge United & the lamp. Still allows a non-name badge that's distinctive. There's something about the shape of the arches that I'm not 100% about for some reason, but it's a good call.

Option 2 asparagus is far superior to anything else the club has put out
