Yes, works for me.

Come to think of it, It'll look great as you see it on the stadium in large. The only time it will look out of place is when it is on its own. It'l look good on the shirt.

I think it needs to be seen in a context. When I first saw it, I didn't like it, but already, just looking at it on the computer mock up, it looks striking & bold...


It looks good as the logo on the page too...

I think it looks really good

[Splodge]

Like others, it is beginning to grow on me. Looking at it on the mock-up and on the posted brochure show it in a realistic situation other than a basic background, and it does work well - one thing I reckon it will do well on is on things like Sky Sports News when they make it 3D for use with the match reports!

[marky]

I like it. I always thought it should be a Shrimp

[caravan man]

I love it, simple, clean and it will become instantly recognisable

[mellow]

It is clearly an elaborate practical joke.

OK, so I'm back home now and had a little more time to study it* and I have to say it's growing on me. The white and gold are actually more than an adequate balance to the red shield and do significantly 'lift' the design from a red shirt. Also, I'll retract my statement about the font choice being 'lazy'... although I do still believe there were better options available (each to there own!).

So I'm halfway between the camps now... and no doubt will be wondering what the fuss was about come August.

I'm in the don't like camp. Maybe it will grow on me etc. I also agree with Lordy re. the font looking cheap / generic and after a night's sleep I think that is what bothers me the most. The font (to me) really makes it look 'cheap'.

I'm sure it will look better in context as Keith said but my initial reaction (and the folk I have shown it to) was not good.

I'm glad to see that a clear majority seem to like the design. Clearly the problem isn't with the design - the problem is me being a staid old fart!

How can you not like it?! it's just your avatar in red!

[Joel Ninety]

I like it. It is simple, functional, its got a shrimp on it, and it is different to the signage at Baxters Frozen Foods.

I would have preferred we went back to the shrimp style we used on the white 80s kits though.

Has anyone noticed the person stood at the far left of the photo? Is it Elle Macpherson? Look at those legs!

I thought it was the bird from Avatar.

[Christies Child]

It's the group on the far right who worry me

Can't be city fans as they don't have that many. Could be a group of Chester fans on a day out remembering how things used to be! Ouch!

Doh !

It is growing on me already. I looked at the stadium mock up and it looks good on that (maybe because I can't see the writing !)

[shrimper]

Very many different fonts were considered, some bolder, some slightly more ornate. In the end that one stood out best and was crisper from different distances. (Frutiger/Humanist BTW).

[USA Shrimp]

Praps when it's on a shirt or summat else it will look alright. I was three sheets to the wind when I looked at it last night. My school has now closed for the rest of the week due to the continued winter storm over here so I had every excuse to be on the pop !

And hey... what do I know about owt ?

Thanks for the insight, Shrimper.
