Before you start

Treat a proposed Manchester United logo redesign as a visual document to inspect, not as a confirmed brand change. Work with a clean copy of the current crest and the proposed version in the highest resolution you can obtain. The comparison can be done entirely locally in a browser or image editor; no external service is required.

Step-by-step instructions

  • Place the current crest and the proposed redesign side by side at equal display height.
  • Set both images to the same background color, preferably white or near-black, and avoid transparent checkerboard backgrounds for color judgment.
  • Check the main elements one by one: ship, devil, football, shape of the shield, lettering, and surrounding typography.
  • Look for changes in red, yellow, white, and black values rather than relying on memory.
  • Zoom out until each crest is about 40 pixels high and note which details disappear first.
  • Enlarge small sections such as the ship sails, letter spacing, and thin outline widths to check for loss or distortion.
  • Save clearly labeled before and after crops for later comparison.

Check the output

Confirm that the two images remain aligned and that no proposed detail has been accidentally cropped. Check that a resized 32-pixel and 16-pixel version of the proposed redesign still shows the main crest shape. Verify that any exported PNG or WebP has the expected dimensions and that no flat area becomes visibly blocky. The goal is a stable side-by-side comparison, not a claim that the redesign is official or approved.

Common problems and next steps

  • If the redesign appears too thin at small sizes, compare outline weight with the current crest at 32 pixels and increase local contrast only for review.
  • If the colors look different in screenshots, check that the images use the same color profile and are not viewed on separate monitors with different brightness.
  • If the shield shape is hard to judge, trace the main silhouette for each version and overlay the two outlines with reduced opacity.
  • If the source is a low-resolution promotional image, avoid treating it as an exact reproduction of the proposed crest or its proportion.
  • If you need to explain the changes to someone else, present the labeled before and after views plus the small-size comparison without adding invented claims about the redesign.
