The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

We need a new club badge for AFC Rushden & Diamonds. Any budding designers on this forum? please forward any suggestions or designs to support@saverdfc.com

Well I thought this wasn't a bad effort

Don't know the latin but il find it but i was thinking "From the Ashes together we rise and go forward" to add to the list of possible bottom slogans

'E cinere et una resurgemus proficiscantur' is the latin translation of that.

My suggestion would be "resurgemus ex favilla" (We shall rise from the ashes)

We need this publicising more. Scissett FC in West Yorkshire have recently done a large campaign to get badges designed. They got local schools involved and offered prize money for the winner etc. It might even be worth contacting some Universities. Best option I'd say would be to create it as a Press Release and send it to football clubs, the FA, Non-League Paper etc. Obviously it would be nice if a Rushden fan won, however I'm sure we'd all rather have it as a competition to look at suggestions. The problem with schools is that they finish for summer in a couple of weeks and Universities for graphic students will be finished for the summer. Scissett had the competition open for 4 months..

And it can't be announced as a competition before things like that are known. As well as we would need to know what the winner gets before announcing it.

I like that

The Satoris lion and Keys of St.Peter should be ok.

Maybe a elements not used in the original badges?

Whatever happened to Stalin's badge design? I liked that a lot.
