The logos made by our fans were there and many of them were 100 times better than this logo and the club could have used them for free :

For them there were 2 problems with these logos : first, on lots of them, there was the emblem of Galatasaray, whereas our club didn't want that (But why did they also not precise it in the contest ? how can they say it
after the contest ??). Secondly, with some of these logos, it was hard to use them to put them on clothes with the colours and other things.
Personally, I don't think that these reasons are true. I knew since July that they won't use the logos of the contest, and the reason I heard was that the committee didn't like any logo.
Anyway, lots of these logos were better than this. And I don't see the reason why we couldn't use the emblem of the club on our centenary logo. On the centenary logos of Lazio, Barcelona, Marseille, Manchester..., there were also the emblems of these clubs.
The animal of our centenary logo is not a lion, it's a bear, with his big legs !
Look you just have to remove the mane and it's a bear !!!
On most of centenary logos, there is written the foundation date and the centenary date. It is great.
Lazio
Olympique de Marseille
Manchester United
AC Milan
FC Barcelona
Real Madrid
Arsenal
We didn't put these dates on our centenary logo, only a big 100. Maybe the one who made this logo wanted to copy... Besiktas. :roll:
The colours of this logo - orange & dark red - are not our colours but let's look like what this logo will look on clothes. Maybe we have a bad impression with the colours of the computer, I hope...
