They should use my pic as the new crest, a jigsaw to show that no matter how many times bad owners pick us apart, we always end up back together again. :lol: :-D

Please no! No change to the badge.

My local team had their badge 'rebranded' recently from a version of the town's coat of arms to a monstrosity that looked like the Starbucks mermaid wearing a skirt and holding a volleyball with a pair of 'crab' hands... and as one supporter spotted it looked like a pair bollocks either side of her head...yes, it's that hideous.

So. Leave it alone!

Well, I'd say harsh but fair. ;-)

I get the confusion with Motorola. But we came first.....

Our logo is obviously a stylised seagull in flight made up of a pair of overlapping chevron-like shapes.

Motorola is an M, like the golden arches of Macdonald's. I think they're different enough.

Any change of logo/rebrand will cost money and has the potential to piss people off.

Better to stick than twist imho

The original was best but had to be changed ? due to copyright issues??

My preferred badge was the one used from 1977 to 1984 which has the 'Gull's in flight' logo incorporated into the Torquay cost of arms shield.
The 'Gull's in flight' logo has been used since 1968 and is synonymous with this club and should be kept if only for traditions sake.

I do not see anything wrong with our logo.....at least it is a reminder of better times, when we had an excellent squad. It should be retained, although those that have only supported in this century may have different views because they have not known a winning side, apart from odd seasons.

I use to like Yellow shirts, Blue shorts and Yellow socks, we looked good and we're good.

Oh God please don't remind us of the Dave Webb era with the palm trees and Chelsea kit !
We did have a blue kit in the sixties for one or two seasons but at least it was with yellow socks and a gull in flight logo.

Perhaps we could turn it the other way up or perhaps we could look at the previous club emblem for inspiration.
Either way it would be an income generation for new sales.
We've had the "gull in flight" logo for nearly fifty years now, so it's served us in good times and in bad. I quite like the 70s vibe of it. Don't know if a new logo would necessarily bring in new sales. You'll always get people objecting to a change
