I voted for three, but in fact prefer none of them in particular (In fact, I quite like that one which came out early on, with a round Diamonds badge which looked as if it was being borne up on the wings of a phoenix) except to say that three with a Latin motto would be very good indeed.

Totally agree 8-)

I don't.

I think putting Latin on the crest of a club founded in 2011 is ridiculous, not to mention pretentious.

No more ridiculous or pretentious than having a crest in the first place, to which we are not, strictly speaking, entitled.

So hae a motto in English, then - anything rather than "Founded 2011". Well, maybe not anything...

How about "To dare is to do"? :lol:

Or "Semper in excreta sed solum profundis variat" ("Always in the shit, it's just the depth which varies")?

Or how about something simple, yet elegant and expressive... "Always Loyal"?

On taking delivery of our new wheelie bins the other week I noticed the East Northants Council badge was printed on the front of the wheelie bins, am I the only person thinking one of the suggested AFC Rushden & Diamonds club badges looks very similar to the East Northants Council badge on the front of the bins?

There are millions are logo's in the world for millions or companies, teams, products etc. We are never going to be able to create a totally unique design.... and no I dont think they look similar at all

Well, that's it - time's up. Whatever we individually voted for, we have a new club badge.
Rock and roll, man !

I'm getting really excited now and can't wait to see the new badge unveiled on the new kit ................... no pressure lads, you've got 11 days to make it so !! ;)

Seriously, well done to all the guys n gals involved in this, there has been a monumental amount of work and effort gone into setting the club up over these past few weeks - lots of stuff going on behind the scenes and into the late night by a very small band of dedicated fans................my thanks to you all !!!!

Can't wait to turn up for our first game this Saturday, I'll be wearing my nice new AFC R&D t-shirt with pride - we truly ARE the 12th man !!

Is there a picture of the badge that won?
