Aston Villa FC Primary Logo

aston-villa-fc-primary-logo

The Scottish lion and the word ‘Prepared’ have been part of the Aston Villa crest since the club’s foundation in 1874 and modifications have been few.

On 6 April 2016, the club confirmed that it would be using a new badge from the 2016 - 2017 season after consulting fan groups for suggestions. The lion in the new badge has claws added to it, and the word "Prepared" was removed to increase the size of the lion and club initials in the badge.

Aston Villa FC
2016 - Present

In the spring of 2016, Aston Villa completed a historically poor season. The team came bottom of the Premier League and were relegated. In the midst of all this, the club introduced a new emblem costing around £100,000 – a huge sum for minor alterations like the lion’s acquisition of a more heraldic look… and claws. On top of this, the motto ‘Prepared’ was removed to make the lion bigger.

On August 14th, 2006 the American Randy Lerner bought Aston Villa for £62.6 million. To symbolize the beginning of a new era, this emblem was introduced the following year. The white star reflects the victory against Bayern Munich in the 1982 European Cup. The motto Prepared has been used since 1878.
