FYP editor James Daly takes a little brake from swanning around South America to try and get you all to vote for Crest A, and you'd thought we'd forgotten all about badgegate....

There is quite a bit of support for Badge A in the vote to see which will be the next Crystal Palace logo. For example, I tweeted Henry Winkler, aka The Fonz, and asked him which design he thought was the best and he simply replied "Aaaayyyy". Then I went to Liverpool and asked some Scousers which badge they would choose and they all said "Ay! Ay! Ay!"

Seriously, though, Badge A should definitely win the vote on account of its simplicity. Steve Parish has said that one of the reasons for plumping for a new emblem was because the current one was difficult to replicate on shirts, training wear, memorabilia or even, let's face it, doodling on your note pad in the office when you can't be bothered to do any work. Badge A is a sleek, easy to reproduce, easy to doodle design.

Badges are a lot like football, you have to keep things simple. Option A has all the ingredients - the Eagle, obviously, the Crystal Palace, the red and blue and yet it isn't overcrowded, it isn't a mess (like, ahem, Badge C for example) and it's easily recognisable as a Crystal Palace logo. This is definitely the most important thing about a badge; it needs to scream 'CRYSTAL PALACE' at people. You don't want a logo that people could get confused with another club.

What's the most important component of the badge? The Eagle, obviously. And Badge A has the best eagle out of all of the options. The eagles in the other designs look like they have been adopted from some sort of second hand birds home, but the eagle on Badge A has it all. That's the sort of eagle I'd want to be when I am duly recreated after my death.

So, folks, do the right thing and vote for Badge A. Palace fans - and eagle everywhere - are counting on you.
