I set myself that very challenge about 3 years ago. To be clear, I love our badge and the elements within it. However, it has been let down with some bad draughtsmanship. Fir trees with poor definition and a steelworks that to me look more like a steam ship/battleship.
Understandably fans get very protective of their club crest (even the badly drawn ones). In times past only the top sides could afford to have the very best graphic designers/logo designers/draughtsman working on their corporate crests. Unfortunately Motherwell didn’t fall into that elite bracket. I am far from an elite draughtsman (although I do know a few) however, for fun I did a small redesign/tidy up of our 1980s designed badge. Like any profession technology moves on. The hand drawn badges of the 60s/70s/80s have now been replaced by computer generated crests (depending on the operator they can still be poorly done). It’s by no means perfect, however, this was my 2013 attempt to update our 80s hand drawn crest.
