HISTORY OF THE CREST

INCEPTION From the birth of FC Adonai, it had its crest. At the time, it was referred to as ‘logo’ and it went on all of FCA’s, including documents and was also proudly worn by the players on their shirts. It was a means of identification, source of pride and an emblem of some sort. It was not considered a thing of fashion hence its simplicity.It consisted of a cross with a ball at the base of it. A ball with black and white patches a pair of boots on opposite sides of the ball with FC adonai written in opposite directions.

FIRST CREST Fig1

There was later an adition of ‘FC Adonai’ outside of the logo as seen below. This was necessary because it was a bit difficult to see the ‘fc adonai’ on the logo at least from a distance.

2009-2010

Fig 2

As the Club began to grow, afew people started to see the need to include colours. This was primarily to show the clubs colours and also to imprint this in the minds of people. People in the mangemnet began to sugest colours and a few months after, the following was arrived at.

THIRD CREST

A red cross to tipify service to humanity, the FC adonai in sky blue which is the main colour of the club a ball with red and white patches as opposed to the black and white and the FC Adonai in sky blue. And a pair of black boots. This officially announced the FC Adonai colours as RED, SKY BLUE AND BLACK.

PRESENT CREST WITH MINOR ADJUSTMENT

This crest was in use for a few years until a major crises rocked the very existence of the club an on bouncing back, the new management of the club decided to give it a new crest with a new meaning capturing the vision of the founder, Adedotun and the essence of its creation. Also, as a way of forgetting the past and forging into the future for the club and its management. it was also to make a distinction between what was and what the club would be even to generations yet unborn.

In the wake of 2011, Adedotun, with some of the new management team got together and with the help of a graphic artist, Biodun, a new crest was born. This represents the crest that the club wears to date and whether there would be a change or alteration to this new crest remains an answer with destiny. It’s basically a U shape design with a ball embedded at the center of the globe at the center of it. Around the ball are two strips, one of red and the other of sky blue with six dots on each side of the strip which represents the FC Adonai colors. On the red side are the blue dots and on the blue side are the red dots. At the top of the crest is the name FC Adonai embedded in the midst of stars. At the base of the FC Adonai is the web site and an the base of the logo is the year of birth of FC Adonai, 2008 to show that it is still the same club but now under a new management.. Thus the crest describes a club that would produce stars that would be known and seen throughout the globe

Minor adjustments have since been made to the crest but they have been purely aesthetics with no meaningful addition or subtraction. These include the embossing of the contents of the emblems
