So there I was thinking that in light of Taf's thread about a new Rebel logo, that maybe we should think about freshening up the place too.

So I tried to get the whole club into this one.

The river in the middle is the Liffey, obviously.
The mountains in the background are the Celbridge Mountains.
The forest on the left represents the great forests of Clondalkin.
The plains on the right represent the vast plains of Lucan.
The tall trees represet the great oak trees of Moate and Blanchardstown.

Thoughts?

I thought it was bad enough when the likes of:

ManU, Leinster, Welsh Rugby, and every other feckers with a branded T or Polo:

Change the F'in' design annually just to "stir the market" and persuade Parents and supporters to be ripped off with the latest "this seasons kit" look

We are NOT going to ditch the Rabbitt with the big bollox are we?

I firmly support the local club ID's but lets keep the logo!

Ah come on! We're not Nike. The folks buying our t-shirts aren't influenced by 'cool' and if the profits of merchandise go to  affiliates and members I think that is a positive development.
It gets the message out and it provides the likes of me with a means of avoiding a day in the hipsters saturated shops in town.  ;D

I agree on the logo tho...The NHC needs to think long and hard.... ;)....before dropping the rabbit!

Well spotted.

Was just something she threw together quickly last night with minimal input from me. It's a rough draft.

Btw... The second one was a monochrome version that could be used on t-shirt etc.

Nice one. All feedback will be passed on.

Going to get her to do some labels for me next.

Great idea re. the labels!

Could your good lady come up with generic labels with space for say description, brewer and abv so we could edit the image with paint or the like?

I have used some free label sites but some nice generic NHC or Regional Specifics would be great!

here's another one she did up

@Will_D I think that's a good idea. I'll ask her nicely tonight. If there is a sample template you want to follow.... please fire it up.

Oops silly me - you mean the Liffey lot!
