Love that bat profile, stickers are nice too. Really like the shadowing on the 'R'

Cheers mate, the R is actually clear which is a nice touch. Originally it should have been white. But a nice accident I think.

Simmy took those with a SLR camera so that's why there decent quality. He has his uses :p

So are you guys looking to sell some of these in the future or are doing it for fun? Good luck either way though.

To me the stickers, finishing (seeing from a distance though) and even the profile look very very classy--- honest opinion.

Bit of both to be honest, more of a hobby but happy to custom make for anyone. Think the stickers need a few changes but overall happy.

Looks a lovely bat :) - Got your PM thanks for the quick reply - all sounds good mate :)
Title: Re: Stickers came for Ryans bat
Post by: Alvaro on January 09, 2012, 10:17:38 PM
I think they look good but could be sharper - the curve of the 'R' for example.
I think it would be cool if the toe sticker read 'Made in Yorkshire'. Proper. ;)

like we said these are just sample stickers and they may be fine tuned/changed

Everyone's a critic Simone!!!

(Wait 'til you see the retro-baby's I'm working on! They'll roll back the years.)

Personally I think they are a good shape and a nice design - if only people appreciated how hard it is to get stickers designed and printed how you actually want them.

Love them a lot!

i personally thing the black carbon is a bit to plain and needs a better gradiant like the detail in the new saff stickers

Agreed, overall happy with the design but think it needs a few minor changes which will improve the overall quality.

I'm happy to listen to any suggestions.

Keep the outline shape and the 'Kelsall' where it is. Move the 'R' so that 'Kelsall' it is left-aligned. You could perhaps put a spokeshave graphic in the centre of the 'R' so there is some added depth?

They remind me of the instinct stickers...

They go well with the bats, nice a subtle

Much better, would look awesome with shadowing on the Kelsall and a different font on the rk

Well done simmy, little classier I think. Just need a few small changes and think that's the way to go   :D

Personally I much prefer the originals

Post by: Ryan on January 11, 2012, 10:07:41 PM
really johnny?

we thought we would go down the classy route as the 1st ones seemed a little in your face. We will probably add some colour to the labels once the designs finished.

I said to si earlier that you see this design on loads of brands now, yeah it's simple, clean and oozes class but.... It's a bit common as well mate. Don't you want to stand out a bit, be different, Make a statement if you can??

Which would you choose if you had the option?

I like the RK on the label, but not sure about the custom and all the stars. Would look classy with just the stars somewhere on the label.
Title: Re: Stickers came for Ryans bat
Post by: RoCo Da Pixie on January 16, 2012, 10:59:36 AM
I personally prefer the first set, However I would like to see the back sticker transparent and only the R being visible
