The new OM logo greatly displeases the mayor of Marseille, Benoît Payan, who speaks out: “It is horrible.”

Two weeks ago, OM officially unveiled its new, minimalist logo, explaining its desire to
“modernize our iconic emblem while honoring its history”. An attempt at a makeover that still doesn’t work. If the club’s supporters were the first to express their discontent, this badge is also criticized in high places.

The mayor of Marseille destroys the new OM logo

Questioned by BFM Marseille Provence, the mayor of the Marseille city does not mince his words. “He’s horrible. I’ve seen logos, but never such ugly logos. It’s a mistake, it needs to be fixedsays Benoît Payan, disappointed. Volkswagen even made fun of us by rotating their logo and saying that our new logo was the same as theirs. »

Could Olympian leaders backtrack and abandon it? The elected official would not be opposed to it, quite the contrary.
“I think that this logo does not quite correspond to Olympique de Marseillehe continues. Some tell me we’ll get used to it. Yes, you get used to everything, but I don’t like it. » And he is clearly not the only one in this case.
