I like the colour scheme but Hermes makes me think of the courier company....and they make me very angry!

Agree - love the colour scheme and the design is of the highest quality but the name...

Apologies, I know that wasn't the feedback you were looking for!

Classy looking stickers too.

I like the name and colour scheme looks ok...the real test will be seeing it on a bit of willow.

Post by: uknsaunders on February 08, 2013, 09:21:51 AM
getting there Dean!. Would do the inside of the "Hermes" letters in silver to make it stand out at a distance.

I had to get some cream when I had Hermes... Oh wait that was.... Never mind nothing to see here

Like the 3 dimensional impression the sticker gives. Would look lovely on the willow.

 :D That did cross my mind!

I have to say though that the design and colours are top, top drawer - there needs to be more purple in cricket bat ranges, very classy...

Oh awesome looking stickers too.... Best I have seen... Not sold on the name though

Very nice indeed like others have said the purple looks class.
Title: Re: Sneak peak at a new sticker
Post by: fasteddie on February 08, 2013, 01:55:24 PM
Love the purple. I use it on one of my businesses.

The font for the brand name could do with straightening. It's not so easy to read at a glance or an angle.

Less is most definitely more.
Simple, clear, and bold.

I'm not a fan of the 'handmade in england' style. It looks stretched - maybe double spacing would work better rather than stretching the font.

Definitely like the idea of sticking with the Greek mythology name! Poseidon maybe? Nyx? Prometheus? Ther emust be thousands you could choose from better than that?

Definitely - love the theme; Pluto (don't know why, but the colour seems to fit well with the name)?

Pluto is cool!

Is everyone going down the Cadbury purple route this coming season?

They have a metallic finish to them that makes them work well so its hard to replicate this if the printer hasn't got the ability to print in that format.

But the Cadbury stickers are poorer than their normal stickers as they're just one texture, the other newbery stickers have at least got different textures.

Stands out nicely

Post by: Number4 on February 09, 2013, 09:22:44 AM
Ok so what names do you like ???????

How about Eros?

More seriously Perseus or Theseus?
Title: Re: Sneak peak at a new sticker
Post by: mattw on February 09, 2013, 09:47:02 AM
The model name is a bit of an issue it seems - however if the background of the main section is a carbon fiber texture/effect I think this will look smart.

I dont know if its just me but I would prefer it if the vulcan on the sticker was the other way around like this :  V

Also, print one off an take a look at it from a distance, compare it to the SAF stickers. The last thing you want is to be accused on here of apeing someone's style!!
Title: Re: Sneak peak at a new sticker
Post by: wilkie113 on February 09, 2013, 02:01:16 PM
Really like the new design Dean, do I get them on my bat when I send it you for a refurb? :) haa!

As regards to looking similar to SAF ones I think the only similarities are the colours.
Title: Re: Sneak peak at a new sticker
Post by: jblowe on February 09, 2013, 05:17:08 PM
Dean
Really good Stickers, big improvement.

I would say that the only thing I would change is.

 I would have the same pattern behind the winged logo, as you have behind the lettering, at present the pattern is smaller an running in the horizontal, rather than the vertical as behind the lettering. This would make the panel look continuous.

 
ok my mate looked at what you have put and hes come up with this

Post by: jamielsn15 on February 09, 2013, 05:34:51 PM
I prefer the writing reading down rather than having to tilt your head (I know bats are only so wide, but it does annoy when 'SS' or many initial-based firms put their name on sideways...)

As for them being similar to other brands; a) I don't think it is and b) as Noel Gallagher said, "there's only so many chords, man!"

Dean; please don't think I'm knocking it, I LOVE the colours and design and think you're onto a real winner here...

cheers for the feed back ill pass in on to ross see what he comes up with next

Post by: fasteddie on February 09, 2013, 11:00:35 PM
It's upside down and really hard to read.

An idea.
Get some printed to scale and ask people to read them at an angle and from 22yrds and with only a split second to read it.
Try and mimic the conditions of a game.
I can't read it.

The screen and in real life are two completely different things.

The letters are way too curved. They look too similar.

Sorry to be harsh, but I'm all about simplicity when it comes to branding.
