    As Greenwich becomes a royal borough this year , and if i have read right we are the only club to be based in a royal borough , would be nice to have the new coat of arms on the opposite side to the club badge to represent this .

    Only if we get a free yatch
    We have , its called the Woolwich ferry .

    I have a Charlton tattoo too! BTW, Has anybody noticed that on the Joma shirts and merchandise we had 'TM' on the badge but not on the Macron stuff. Is thier a reason for this?
  • I too have charlton tatt have no desires to get it altered.
    Ok, I'll ask. Where is it?
    I know where it is
    it's no secret, it's at the top of my left breast.

    I'm happy with ours as it is, it's simple but strong at the same time. but I would be happy for someone to put forward perhaps a modern slant of the hand and sword, I wouldn't want anything other than that.

    I'm the same our logo is great the way it is but it is nice on some 'non replica' shirts etc to have just the hand and sword in black or white, plain, simple, smart.

    Just to the side of your bellybutton in twenty years or so!

  • I'm in the tattooed Addicks fraternity so for the sake of my skin I'll say leave it as it is. I love the badge!

    I can't remember seeing any announcement about it, but I think the club have done an excellent job of upgrading the badge. So excellent in fact that it appears to have gone unnoticed. Getting rid of that horrible TM sign is a major plus, and the shading on the sword and the surround to give it a 3D effect works really well.

  • Not sure about the bit of string though

    Absolutely! Without a doubt the best in league football. The only ones to come close are Wolves and West Ham (though it pains me to say it).

    Wash your mouth out. Not allowed to say anything good about the club now, not since God was sacked.

    Brilliant in its simplicity, but I always think the hand looks slightly deformed.
    As an aside, I wish we had plain white nets,not red & white ones.

    The TM went about five years ago. The graphic designers are always playing around with the badge at the margins, but it hasn't changed officially.

    Amazing. All that time and I've not noticed it before. I honestly thought it was new this season. Must get some new glasses.

    Small sword or big hand? More like a gladiators dagger than a big eff off proper English sword IMO

    Can we afford Graphic Designers? Or have we got the kid on the switchboard playing about with MS Paint?

    I'm sorry. I know this one's wrong, but a non-footballing photoshop kid did it last week as a joke. I wasn't going to post it, but then I saw this thread... don't hate me...

    They finally admit we are bigger in the trouser department.
  • Was not the sword a design done by a fan...... when we had the idea of calling us Valiants, late 60s/70s.....
    As a designer I cannot see the need for a new badge, as the airman has stated it get's 'modified'
    We seem to have a photoshop 'sky' type of phase at present, with slight shadow cast to give it a 'gloss' type of look...... bit dated the sort of thing David Hillman from Pentagram was doing years ago...... but I am sure the art critic's on here will correct me!
    Of course if you want to spend a load of cash, changing all your letter heads, and brand identity, and confuse people fine.......

    Found these on the web and thought they were quite amusing. Obviously it was our one that got my attention, but I think the Wendies one is brilliant.
