    I want no association with any of them. They're modernised horrendous attempts at 'rebranding' by someone who's probably never set foot in Oakwell. Not that you have to to be a designer but regardless they are truly awful. Effin Red roses, I ask you..... if we're that proud to come from Yorkshire at least get the colour right! It took a while to see the 'well'!

    ****in horrendous! I do however commend the club for trying and involving the fans. But that's sort of my point. Local college art students? The fans? Rather than some design team just doing it for a wage.

    They're all as far removed from what we should be trying to do its laffable!

    Not too sure that I really like any of 'em. D looks the best of the bunch, then B. Definitely not A or C, please.

    Does anybody know who's actually designed/created them?

    I think it was the local primary school.

    I really wasn't wanting to go that far.

    Well I stared and stared to try and see the pick-axe in B. Maybe it's the white shield-looking thing on the right-hand side - if that's supposed to be a pick-axe it needs a longer handle for me.

    That was easy!

    Given that I didn't see any problem with the current badge, being presented with 4 God-awful alternatives didn't make it a difficult decision to vote for no change.

    D is particularly pathetic, given that they've put in the Oak leaf but forgotten the well (unless the lines in the background are supposed to represent it).

    Looking forward to seeing the new series of The Apprentice to watch the episode where the two teams had to come up with these designs in half a day.
