Impressed enough by how the club has thought about this, and the execution, to the level i have bothered to update my avatar.

I'm loving the new logo. Not a big fan of the FC bit, but everything else hits the mark really well. Feeling really pumped up for the season now.

I'm with you on this as long as the new kit is a big improvement on the last one - I couldn't ever bring myself to buy that kit and I've been waiting in hope that the next one is a lot better. On this topic - the fact the stripes are no longer part of the logo could mean they can go away from that this time, which I wouldn't be a fan of tbh.

Over all really like the new design, a couple issues but a major improvement on the previous imo. Not sure how it'll go on the kit, and I didn't like the shape of the shield they proposed so did a thing. I'd prefer the 3rd option, but hear it might be a circle. Thoughts?

Shield 3 look much better than Shield 1 imo.

Looks like the logo for a Craft Brewery

Usually I'm a fan of shields but I like how it sits in the circle to be honest

“For me, the strongest aspect of this new logo,” said Sigmund, “is that it draws upon a story, a story specific to Wellington, that is based upon key values that we want to build this club around.”

Wouldn't be a true connection to Wellington without a craft beer reference.

You realise that Garage Project is a sponsor and did a Nix beer last season right?

Very good incite into the preferred style of play and positioning not seen previously.

Wow. I should have known not to 100% trust the blurry image I saw from a catalogue on the internet.

That actually looks great. Much like everyone else has said, not sold on the F|C but hey, that bird is nice and that's all that matters.

I might be in the minority but I really liked the old logo.

Having said that the new one is kinda bitching too.  It looks like it could have been a logo for many more years with its simplicity.

Hopefully new logo, new coach, new stage of the finals to be reached?

Hey Phoenix, please supply us all with some stickers of the new logo withe the season pass delivery.

Need a smaller one for the car.

One to put over the Apple logo on the computer.

Some fake tribal logo Tatoo's for kids would be nice.

Thanks. :-)

I think there is another interesting angle to this.  This logo draws very specifically on a Wellington story/identity.  The club have said they want to place more emphasis on a particular story and the logo represents this.  It's interesting that this seems to be a doubling down of the Wellington angle of the club which I personally think is well overdue

Love the logo; and the tangata whenua reference and use of te reo seems so us, somehow.

Winning for the Style of Play and Top of the Table for positioning will do me.

You reckon all the Aussies, etc. in the squad will think so too?

I think the type is pretty weak, the eye of the phoenix is not overly considered but it is an improvement on the previous.

As long as the kit aint godawful black I can cope with a loss of stripes
