Summary
A bare comparison of two versions of the cockerel mark on white, presented flat and unadorned so the simplification reads at a glance.
Visual description
A plain white field holds two navy marks of equal height, placed left and right with a wide empty gutter between them. Both show a cockerel standing on a ball, its body drawn as a single mass, its neck curving up and its head turned to the left, with a raised tail feather sweeping out to the right and a spur detail at the base of the tail. The left mark carries interior detail: a thin white line defines the beak, comb and eye, a white sliver separates the head from the neck, and the ball beneath is drawn as a panelled football with white seam curves, a small centre node and a white outlined patch bearing four short stitching strokes. The right mark is the same silhouette with all of that removed: the head is a solid shape with only a small notch for the beak, and the ball is a plain solid circle with no seams or markings. Both sit on the same baseline with no type, container or shadow.
Key takeaway
Presenting the two states with identical scale, color and spacing turns a logo change into a legible argument, since the eye can only see what was removed. The retained silhouette is what carries the recognition, which is the case for keeping the outline untouched while stripping the interior.
Reuse notes
Use this framing whenever a redraw has to be explained to a board or a fanbase: no captions, no arrows, just the two marks under equal conditions. The simplified version is the one to specify for embroidery, small digital and single-color print. Keep the detailed version available for large-scale and ceremonial applications where the interior lines still resolve.
