Presenting today a new addition in the form of the third badge
now in the collection to represent our beloved-from-the-Seventies RWD Molenbeek,
this being an object obviously of a certain vintage, which of course imbues it
with that particular ‘hauntological’ irresistible desirability.
The design of the emblem upon is something of a riff on the
club’s official one, with the black & red squares to the left of the black
& white stripes, & the red circled white star inset within all present
& correct, then topped with the RWDM initials set in green, which ‘header’
diverts from the norm yet adds an attractive zing of colour. Note also how the ‘RD’
& ‘WM’ are set within their own individual cells within the overall grid
structure, all of which adds to the sense of the logo being something like a
miniaturized painting, especially with the ‘handmade’ wonkiness of the
lettering & star shape, something in the manner of Jasper Johns’ ‘Flag’ &
alphabets, for a couple of fine examples - one can just imagine it enlarged to
a grander scale, striking composition & image that is undoubtedly is.
