DoubleD Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/sheffield-unveil-new-club-crest/ Seems all the rage at the moment.

Wellsy4HullFC Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I always hated the Sheffield logo. Just looked small inside a thin circle and tiny writing. Much better logo this one. Interesting to see they have brand guidelines too. I'm sure that will become clearer in the coming months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrispmartha Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 As stated on the other thread, it’s not well designed at all, inconsistent line thickness on the shield, terrible typeface and a bad Eagle illustration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Agree with DoubleD, Sheffield should be a lot bigger, ideally the same size as Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, that is the opening line from the Loverugbyleague website. The first line on the Sheffield Eagles web site covering this is "Sheffield Eagles are proud to introduce today (Tuesday 12 November 2019) our brand-new club crest." "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

And the beak's not yellow enough and the red's not true eagle red and the eagle looks too angry and there's no wings or a rugby ball and the longer you stare at the word "EAGLES" the less it looks like a real word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the problem with the size of font is that with Sheffield being quite a long word and Eagles not being so long you would either have a ridiculously big logo or small lettering "Eagle".. have to say i quite like it, its more modern than the other one and although i liked the other one this seems better and cleaner (to my untrained eye).

The West Coast Eagle is a far better illustration, it’s quite clearly an Eagle with the words West Coast Eagles below it. Technically the Sheffield Crest is badly drawn, the shield outline is too thin and doesn’t match up with the holding device thickness for the wording leaving it looking unbalanced. The typeface is awful and looks like its come from ‘dafont’ which is a free font site renowned for badly drawn typefaces and the Kerning and Tracking is poor.

As for different designers disagreeing on designs, yes that will of course happen as we all have different styles but the technical aspects of this logo are just poor and if those were sorted it would be a lot better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t thinking about the Broncos (though you’re right that is bizarre), but if Sheffield Eagles want to make their mark in sheffield they should have the name of the city as the thing that shouts out, not the suffix which could be from anywhere.
