Don't think this has been picked up elsewhere on this forum but our landlords have unveiled a new crest, story here (http://www.thisisgloucestershire.co.uk/cheltenhamtown/Dawn-new-era-Cheltenham-Town-Football-Club-unveil-new-branding/article-2133756-detail/article.html).

I have to say, it's really bad. It took me a while to see a robin at all. I do agree with the comment that it looks like a prancing, camp ghost with a pointy white hat (with arms outspread). Perhaps a reference to a former, recent manager.

So, could anyone else do better than some two-bob marketing agency who's chief designer got a BTEC in graphic design at Glos College?

When you compare it to our crest, which is just simple but fantastic. Would love to know who designed that.

I meant who designed ours! The CTFC one was designed by FLB in Bayshill Road. I'm not sure they were paid. I've seen more design flair in a piece of clip-art.

Tim Harris' people did ours a couple of years ago.

If I hadn't been told what the image is I wouldn't have had a clue what I was supposed to be looking at. At least there's no mistaking a TIGER is there?

You have to admit, our crest is pretty impressive.

If we ever get a new stadium, I'd like that replicated in wrought iron over the main entrance gates.
