2. Thisis mythird question Ihave asked
and the response Ireceivedwasa
50/50 answerrelatingto dotheylike
football.Howeverthisansweris
50/50 thisdoesn'tchange the way
that I will be rebrandingthe
companyas I won't be targetingthe
people whodon'tlike football asI
will onlybe targetingfootball livers
because theyare the people wholike
the badges.
The 5th
questionthatI askedwas“What do youthinka badge shouldrepresent.”FromthisanswerI
receivedalotof differentanswersfromthisthe twomostpopularanswerswere abadge shouldrepresent
passionandthe secondmost popularpointwasa badge shouldrepresentthe townandculture.Thishelps
me massivelyasIwas hopingtomake the badge aboutthe town’s culture andsome of the iconicbuildings
and figuresthatislinkedtothe town.I wantto incorporate a lotof historyinto my designs tomake the
badge verymeaningful anditwill fill the fanswithpassionafighttomake sure theygetbehindtheirteam.
The last questionthatIaskedon my
questionnaire waswhatColours

the resultof this.The majorityof
people wouldn'tchange the colours.
Andthe 2nd
mostpopularchoice was
that theywouldaddblue intothe
