Alan_R Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 From Facebook. Not mine, all credit to those involved. "You may have heard of Bands F.C. recently. If you haven’t, let me give you a quick insight. They’re a team of graphic designers who recreate existing football teams crests by basing the new design on bands. Usually there’s some sort of link, whether there’s a lyric by a band that corresponds with an aesthetic in the teams logo, or whether it’s based on a pun ie. Wu-verhampton Wanderers etc. The logo is then presented on a backdrop that’s their tribute to classic Panini stickers. They post all their work on Twitter and Instagram. Check them out. Anyway. A few days ago I randomly decided to reach out to Bands F.C. on Twitter asking them if they took requests, and if so, would they consider creating a Frightened Rabbit design based on the Hearts logo as a tribute to Scott Hutchinson who was a Jambo. Well, not only did they create it, they’re now working alongside the existing members of Frabbit to have it turned into a limited edition enamel pin (and possibly other merchandise) with all proceeds going towards a charity chosen by the band that would have been close to Scott’s heart."
