Do you favour minimal austerity in your sports logos? Elegant art-nouveau lineflow? Multisport democracy? Hastily knocked-together clipart nonsense? It's all here!

Vote for one of the 14 crests of the teams in the Norwegian uppermost football (soccer) division, using the criterion or indeed -a of your choice. Voters (hi geir!) with actual sym- or antipathy towards a team may of course vote according to this, but are requested to abstain from voicing this preference, in order not to skew the results.

(Apologies for different sizings, in the interests of neutrality all crests were taken from the top-right infobox on English-language Wikipedia for the respective teams.)

Odd Grenland, it looks sufficiently "cresty" enough, but it could also be hastily drawn on a schoolbag by a student.

the Tromsø crest reminds me of http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f1/Tromso_il.png

none of these are good really altho i like the simplistic style and no nonsense aspect of Brann's

― blueski, Saturday, 8 September 2007 22:44 (eighteen years ago)

Popular information dept: the ones that have no geographical name in name are Brann (FIRE), Lyn (FLASH aahh, yes Flash Gordon was named Lyn Gordon in Nog comixx), Odd (EDGE as in on an sword or an arrow), Start and Viking (SELF-EXPLANATORY).

Stabæk looks like a beer logo

Dom repping for hastily knocked-together clipart nonsense wahey!

I was all about Aalesund, personally.

Though I take Stevem's Brann point under careful consideration, I was almost swayed.

I love Sandefjord's modern crest - which is a difficult thing to pull off - with the corporate style font and whale outline.

Brann's crest looks like a logo for a export shipping company.

I'm not so sure the downward movement of the whale sends the appropriate positive signals though...
