With the team moving to the Olympic Stadium in the 2016/17 season, they have already begun to seek fan feedback for a possible new club crest.

OLD





PROPOSED





They've already thought of the "flat" versions (without the gradients and 3D effects) of the logo as well:





And they have also released this graphic to explain some of the design choices:





Perhaps the most interesting part of the Q&A listed on the site:

If fans don't want the new crest, will you stick with the old one?

Yes. The Board have made it clear that any decision on the evolution of the crest will only be made with the fans' support so the fans will absolutely make the ultimate decision.

Let the fans design one for free and it will turn out better than hiring a design agency. Crowdsourcing is amazing

They need to change their colors... Stop stealing AVFC colors bruhs.

I also like the old badge way more than the new ones. The castle is badass.

Agreed, but I also understand the reason behind losing it since the new stadium doesn't have the castle towers.





And just for the sake of a little background, here's an old shirt they wore in the 1960's:




And another version of their old badge:

As a fan I really like the new crest. It's an updated version of the old old crest but provides a modern take.

Throwing London on the bottom is brilliant in terms of marketing IMO. I think it could draw in future international fans in the "I'm looking for a team to support" group. Seeing that West ham is in fact in London makes it more marketable to those fans who aren't overly knowledgeable about the UK.
