I dare say most football fans are familiar enough with the white, blue & yellow of Leeds so having text to hammer it home is unnecessary but, yeah, the overseas market is where our future riches probably lie so I guess a name stamped on it somewhere would be more important. If need be the name could easily be added afterwards, either in 2 lines above or below the logo, or in a
Last one, for those unfamiliar with the club...
Making the smiley circular seems to strengthen it a little more. Should've done them all like that. A bit more white's in there now too

Re: New Badge
The lettering is too small - it's disproportionate to the emblem as a whole, but other than that I think it's very good indeed.
Make the letters proper fat and you wouldn't need to add more white as they'd lend enough weight

Re: New Badge
Not necessarily the great badge above (because I said earlier that too much is overkill) but I'd still like an inconspicuous 'MOT' on any future badge...

Re: New Badge
That white band was a bit of an afterthought. To be honest, all the text was. I've found that too many rings, or varied thicknesses, makes it look a bit busy. I fattened the letters up in this one (quite similar to one of the first ones I'd done). Not sure if it looks a bit top heavy now.Gilford_NI_Whites wrote:kk_white wrote: Yes I like it.

EST. 1919 needs to remain smaller, I reckon...
Interesting to see that, once submitted, this automatically becomes "intellectual property of Leeds United".
Pretty standard, in my line of work. I guess I won't be retiring on this one

Even if they create the finished version of whatever the board cobbles together from the fans that's a nice thing to do
Re: New Badge
Just checked the Yorkshire Post and the badge they have on their is absolutely awful. No class what so ever. The one we have now is still far better. I like the one here showing the bird better but I still don't like it enough but better is true.

Not even sure what to suggest anymore.
We used to wear a kit not dissimilar to Huddersfield's current strip.
We then wore blue and yellow halves (which I actually love, especially with the black shorts).
We've had owls, peacocks, roses, footballs, smileys, shields, curly script, bold upper case, curved bold upper case, fancy serifs, sans-serif .. the list goes on : colours, images, fonts, the actual shape of the emblem itself - is it a badge, a logo, a crest ?
I haven't got a clue anymore .. anything goes, nothing goes.
In a way, I have some sympathy for the club in that they tried to come up with something completely unique that represented the boiled down essence of Leeds United and what the institution means to the club.
Actually, the word institution is appropriate : why don't we play in white straight-jackets and have the NHS Mental Health as our sponsor and be done with it all ?
... and I'm only half-joking
