The young Dynamic Herb Cebu Football Club - formed in 2021 - might not be familiar to too many globally but they are one of the top sides in the Philippines and their identity certainly justifies their featuring in the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW).
Their stage wasn’t oversubscribed, but their crest - which is, in effect, a relatively mundane shield affair being photobombed by a whale shark swim-by - was certainly updated in fun ways by the five entrants.
illuminaqi kept to the original concept, but nicely simplified the look, while Tombot neatly incorporated the massive fish into the shield and bronze and gold medalists, respectively, Rabbi and Othy went for slightly cartoonish roundel-based creations that worked well.
In the end, once all the votes were counted, Utskiboo came out on top with an entry that ticks all the boxes of what a football crest should look like - especially if one of those boxes demands a tiny hint of Stoke City!
