  • In 1973, as a young Nottingham-based designer, David Lewis, entered a competition to design a new crest for the club.
    After winning the competition, David then worked with the club to develop his design into the crest that has remained largely unchanged to this day.

    Nice to know the story behind it...

    My dads a forest fan and I'm from Mansfield myself. I'm also a Graphic designer and I've always loved this iconic design, It's a great mark for a great club and I hope it never changes. The fact that it still look fresh and modern today just shows you how good it is.

    Remember going as a 13/14 year old on south yorkshire council coach trips to certain div1 clubs ... spurs, everton, etc
    One was to Notts Forest , remember meeting Metgod, Birtles, few others but never the legend, brian...
    Later, the guide was telling us about the badge ... i was always into drawing but hearing this great story it gave me inspiration and a great learning curve ...in art and graphic art inparticular ...
    So many great club badges and logo's from that era were created v late 60s and early mid 70s (not just in football)... Forest will always be a favourite in football logo's and graphic design terms .

    I remember being at the ground and hearing the competition being announced over the public address system. I always thought the tail of the 'R' was a leg kickIng the 'e' as a football. I didn't enter the competition, just as well really as I don't think the winning badge could be any better. It's lovely to see the winner.

    Supporting FOReST from Ireland, hearing the history behind the Badge design in the 90s, always stuck with me. Seeing the badge on the Trent end is almost emotional, even from a supporter that only Visits seldomly (But as much as possible), Great to hear the story now from the designer himself....P.S will someone ever cut down those two trees blocking the Trent end side view (Or at least cut them back a bit )
