Those who saw the previous sticker set let me know what you think of these instead...

Think the blue is too dark for the other colours used (but may well look better in print but they don't look right to me)

I think it will turn out better when printed like you say.

I think I've spotted what looked odd to me!
Have the Empire Bats as solid white rather than the shadow effect and it should look better mate.
(just a suggestion but might be worth trying)
-
Another thing I'd add is that from what I can see because of the inwards curve at the top the stickers they won't go up and blend into the grip, which I feel normally looks a bit untidy. Perhaps just add a bar (blue filled, perhaps angled in a bit) going up towards the splice area.

You're right will look better I'll do it now.

Very true completely did not notice that...
Thanks for that mate!

Loads better I think... Need to get some bats sorted to stick them on now!

Cheers pal, hopefully look good on the bats...
-
they are 3000000 X better than the other set, like those alot, and can see them fitting very nicely on some bats.

Agree with this, remember to post some pics when you get them printed :). Do you mind me asking what you drew them up in (and is this the final design version) as I'm thinking of drawing up my own sticker design my self when I get the time!

Yeh they're far better as a more traditional sticker as opposed to the others...
Cheers for you're help on that. Appreciate it.

Yeh I'll definitely post pics once they're printed...
I used Adobe Photoshop, I think the CS2 version is freeware now too so v easy to download.
-
Oh and yes these will be the final designs, probably a little bit of tinkering to get them spot on.
-
no worries at all mate, any other help needed, let me know :)

I'd have considered adopting a Warsop Marlin or Choice Praetorian style sticker with a Greek theme. Also, why the Lion instead of Hercules himself?

Its supposed to symbolise the nemean lion, which I preferred for Hercules. That's all. And I did consider the marlin style but was a bit more difficult to design with my limited skills!! :D

If you are open for discussing names, then I think you should call one of them "strikes".
Then you can say "I am just getting my Empire Strikes Bat". :D

You'd have to be careful on the choice of colours though!
"Hard to see, the dark side is"

Well, he already has red.
I'm surprised nobody has made the comment about being in competition with "Jedi" cricket.

Hope you don't consider this me nicking your thread or anything mate but would you care to give to give me your opinion on my neatly draw up stickers (these will be the actual print version) so far :). Think I posted my paint draft of these somewhere on the forum a while back but am still undecided on the back stickers design if anyone has any ideas! :

If I ever did get quite a few sets done up it would be nice to have the grey and orange areas matte with the black glossy but for now I'll just get them printed somewhere local in all gloss.

Are people watching he Star Wars series recently? Falcon, empire. I'm half expecting the latest range to be JEDI, CHEWBACCA and the Rebel Alliance
-
The stickers look quality.. Not sure on the blue and blue together but perhaps they'll be more distinct in print

Haha, didn't actually realise that til you posted :D. Falcons actually just the first animal that came to mind as a placeholder for some other text there :)!

I know someone who was thinking of naming a bat "rebellion".
-
Rebel cricket bats.. Hmm I like it but chewbacca is better ;)

Looks good mate. Maybe have the fonts in capitals though. Think it would stand out better.
