Is on the Club website now.

A big shrimp on a shield!

Looks OK I think.

Simple design but stands out and is very effective

How imaginative

I don't like it

When you look at the end of era crest which we designed which is very good IMO the shrimp crest looks very average compared to it.

"So its not a joke, thats horrendous" not my words, but the words of my friend who sits next to me. I think the shield is spot on but I think the shrimp in the middle is pretty poor. A modern design no doubt but I have to say I am not a fan!

Well I like it! Simple design with a modern twist, reminds me of what Arsenal did.

Whoever designed the logo has completely failed in what they were trying to create in my opinion. I can see they were going for an Arsenal/Fulham minimal design but I think they're way off the mark.

Default football logo comes to mind.

Just because it's simple dosent mean any less man hours went into the design.

Genius :D

The worst Crest/ Emblem Ever!!
Honestly this is THE worst thing i have ever seen.. seriously. And to be honest i think some people could make a better one on a football game. Very very poor!!

Let's have a look at your alternative design burple. You have ten minutes on paintbrush to come up with a better design. :roll:

I'ts a talking point!! :lol:

Minimalistic!

Maybe the Shrimp heading a football might have been better?

Nah! That would be tacky and cartoony Burnley. Its our nickname, its who we are. Be proud of it.

ANY club can have footballs on - any in Lancashire could have a red rose, any on the coast could have a boat.
Southend are the only other ones who have a connection with shrimps - have a look at their badge if you want to see a bad one! Complicated (so it should please burple) - but terrible. Tranmere's another - lots going on so pretty intricate, but horrible.

simple, instantly recognisable and bold is best - a look at most of the leading world brands should tell you that.

I think it looks pretty good, modern, simple and will look good on the shirt. It does look like it needs something on the bottom as having the Morecambe FC at the top in bald does look a bit amateur. Even if it just said, 'bring me sunshine' on the bottom in small letters. But apart from that I think its fine.

Good idea Ezz. Bring me sunshine would be great tagged on the bottom. Not the bottom of the Shrimp, the bottom of the badge! Maybe the Shrimp looking up at a huge sun as well. Plus heading a football!
