Wonder if this was part of the 3 week review? Sack the assistant coaches and get a new logo. Might as well give us the minor premiership now.


Hahaha exactly ???⬛️⬜️

Very interested if a Poll was done

So they just removed the claws and changed the font slightly?

Welcome to the new era. Exciting, isn't it.

If that’s not a shot across the bow to the other 15 teams I don’t know what is.
 
Reading all the comments on Social Media, I’d say 90-95% of the feedback from fans has been negative.
Let’s hope they don’t go down the Leeds Utd path when they back tracked on a new logo they announced several seasons ago after a massive fan backlash.

Meh…I don’t mind it but don’t love it either. Maybe that’ll change when it’s seen on jerseys & various merchandise and they start building the brand.
Winning always helps too…people will fall in love with it if we suddenly started becoming a strong competitor in the NRL again 🙄

There’s nothing really wrong with it, it’s just a bit of a nothing.

Nah I just think fans are fed up and looking for any excuse to moan about any decision made by the club ?
 
So after I was quite concerned about the change before it was released (I think this was pretty obvious), I have now been able to sit on the new design for a little while (looking back at it periodically to refresh the image in my head) and have come up with my final thoughts.

If I take into account this quote from the Newcastle Knights article when they unveiled their updated logo:

-----------

The update was required following changes to National Rugby League Branding Guidelines made ahead of the 2019 season.

These changes were implemented to give the NRL a cleaner, more streamlined design across all competitions, and saw the addition of new visual elements within which club brands would sit going forward.

These design elements were supported by the game’s broadcasters and media partners, and are now commonplace across Rugby League.

-----------

Then looking at the changes to the logo, like removing the claws, old text and V, then simplifying the head, making it work across various colour schemes which meets the NRL guidelines (including in a single colour without changing any of the design to do so), and removing the colours that are not part of the teams colours (yellow and red).

I have come to the conclusion, that I actually **like** the update.

It keep the heritage of the original logo, gives it a modern update, makes the head actually work on its own (I never thought the old one did that), even though still somewhat complicated it is something that a child could likely draw on their own (which is actually a good thing when it comes to branding), and is still recognisable as our logo.

So yeah, actually a positive change in my opinion.

This looks so bad its ridiculous.The shape just doesn't work with the jersey. You can't build a strong brand by making the logo worse
 
I always knew things would get worse before they get better but geez...how much farther can we sink???

Seriously they need to drop the “tigers” . And make the Wests smaller . There’s just too much going on .

The whole WestsTigers thing was stupid from the start.
Should have been called Wests and the logo a Tiger.
Would also have saved a lot of bickering.

Forgot about that...
 
Would have been cool if they worked in a secret magpie shape in the design. Like the stripe in the brow was a flying magpie or something...
