Malaysian businessman Tan, who took over at Cardiff in May 2010, sparked outrage when he switched the team's home kit from blue to red in 2012 as part of a rebranding exercise designed to make the Championship club more appealing in his home country.

Tan then made a U-turn in January by signalling the club would return to its traditional blue colour scheme after a series of protests by supporters.

The current badge features both a bluebird and a Welsh dragon, but the latter's replacement may give fans yet more cause for complaint.

"I think the new crest has been designed in-house here and I think it looks very good," he told the club's YouTube channel. "I'm very happy with it.

"It's got a dragon there, but this time it's got an Oriental dragon.

"And I think the fans will be happy that the bluebird is truly outstanding there."

Explaining his reasons for changing the club colours back to blue, Tan added: "Around Christmas, my mother said it is not a good idea to keep having this problem with Cardiff - 'Why don't you just do something about it?'

"So I thought maybe it's about time."
