The 403rd stage of the Crest Redesign Competition Weekly (CRCW) was won by Aegon, with a supremely classy badge, but that far from tells the full story.
Montpellier Hérault Sport Club (HSC) have a particularly colourful history, with a solitary French Ligue 1 triumph - so far - coming in 2011-12, and the entries mirrored the variation in styles and fortunes that the southern-based side have experienced over the years.
The shields of cage, MrCOYS and littletigrou delivered modernism via differing approaches, and that was really the general tale elsewhere too.
OTHYcreative, Narci and Tombot kept things circular but taking different points in the timeline for inspiration - and seasoning with original ideas - and Aegon’s victory came in that vein too.
Another CRCW stage with an extremely high standard. It’s what CRCW does.
