A lot of Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) stages introduce people to teams they’ve not previously been aware of. Like Audax Rio de Janeiro.
Not a big club by any means, the most noteworthy thing for most observers from afar is surely, aside from the occasional inclusion of dinosaur images on the shirts, the depiction of Rio’s famous Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer) statue on the crest, and we’d assume that’s what earnt it the CRCW treatment.
And, unsurprisingly, the members did wonderful stuff with it.
There was no chance of anyone dispensing with the focal point, but “CTR” was presented differently in each case, with Dynamic also retaining the football and enlarging it, kunto giving Jesus an impressive halo - and nearly bagging the win - and Bogmar, who eventually did come out on top, going for a modern, minimalist outline approach.
Democracy spoke and Bogmar popped the champagne (presumably). And not a dinosaur in sight.
