I think “a” bridge is important as ultimately that represents the name of our great city. Does it have to be that one though? The oldest bridge over the Cam from what I’ve read is Clare Bridge, and given our link to Clare College I’d be more inclined to use a symbol based on this bridge than one more closely associated with the university or city as a whole. But I won’t fight about it if we revert to the existing bridge symbol. Edit: the green dragon bridge is probably more apt for us than one used by the city as a whole - that crosses the river at the closest point to our ground. I also think the ball has become synonymous with our logo and an evolutionary design which incorporates the ball would be good. I’m keen on the “CU” in amber letters too as it’s instantly associated with us. It doesn’t have to be a total rebrand, just an update with a nod to our past. And I really like the idea of United In Endeavour being part of the design. So I’d like: - bridge - ball (albeit a lot smaller) - United in Endeavour - CU in amber letters I was also thinking about our fabulous floodlights too but how you incorporate those into a design is beyond me. Likewise a moose or coconuts which would look tacky in my opinion. I do think circular badges look smart (like Accrington’s for example) and that would give space for “United in Endeavour” to be written. Yeah I’d be pretty content with most of those, apologies for missing these originally! Captures most of what was in my post and what it doesn’t capture exactly is a reasonable compromise which gives a good outcome. Nice work. :-) |

Good effort. Do we need our initials though? We could create something really unique which isn’t dominated by ‘CU’. The freedom of creation is limited slightly by the need for ‘CU’. Just thinking out loud. Perhaps I should fill in the survey… Yes, maybe it's time to ditch CU. It's not really that important, is it? No one says, I'm a CU supporter. |

Why on earth would Alex Tunbridge try to manipulate a vote on the club badge? Because he's adamant he wants a new badge. The ridiculous notion that it would attract better sponsorship is the best he can justify it, which is ridiculous. Then throwing out that monstrosity has backfired in a way he never thought would happen. The badge is so bad, it's changed a lot of people who were 'meh' to downright 'keep the current badge'. I know a few fans who weren't too bothered either way but since seeing that thing they've offered up they're staunch 'keep the current badge'. He needs to remember we're a proper Club with proper fans, unlike Stevenage and their Spurs/Arsenal 2CW's. He changed their badge with little fuss and thought he could do the same here. He won't offer up a straight new badge or current badge vote like rozza said, because he knows he'd lose. Can't wait to see how the next survey will be worded. Vessey v Tunbridge Kentish v El Goodo Andrew v The Quote Function These are the battles we live for. |

Might vote in favour just to burst a few blood vessels of the badge shaggers.

Shamelessly repurposed the middle of the UTAS logo to replace the massive CU The Book and ball seems to be fairly unpopular, but out of the variations you have suggested this is probably the best one in my view. Not a fan of the other variations you've suggested with just "CU" on a striped or plain amber background. Like our current badge it's probably not corporate and American enough for our CEO and potential new investors! |

Why isn't this lot in the badge thread?

Then we can really see what we are missing out on |

Just an amber circle. Now that's radical and I approve. |
