Title: New 2010 Bat Stickers
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on February 04, 2010, 12:12:15 PM
Picked up the sample sticker this morning and pretty pleased with it in all honesty. Think the green really catches the eye when used with the black and silver.

We have designed them so that if desired the green sections of all 3 stickers can be changed for any other colour if we/the customer fancies a different shade (at a small fee).

Hope you like them too?

Very nice - a classy improvement on previous stickers, but not too radical
toe sticker is great

Cheers chaps...look better in the flesh as its hard to capture the reflective silver used in the text....dropping the bat down to a friend who knows how to use a camera so hopfully he will take some better ones for use on our new website etc.

Really like the design of them, but from a branding I think the Ayrtek on the front and back may look good white with silver edging so it can be easier seen

Always thinking Tom...good point...it does stand out quite well as the reflective silver helps to bring out the text but hard to tell in the photos. still tweaking them currently as the vinyl needs to be better as this was on cheap stuff i was informed.

Are you using AdCal?
Title: Re: New 2010 Bat Stickers
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on February 04, 2010, 12:59:58 PM
No mate local company here in Bristol...are AdCal any good...what bout price? Drop me an email/PM if better :-)
Title: Re: New 2010 Bat Stickers
Post by: SillyShilly on February 04, 2010, 01:01:02 PM
adcal are the best out there (in my opinion) - nics have moved to them this year. Bit more expensive than you are probably paying already but quality is leaps ahead of many other manufacturers.
Title: Re: New 2010 Bat Stickers
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on February 04, 2010, 01:02:42 PM
Might have to look them up and see what the crack it then

Post by: leeroy_acko on February 04, 2010, 01:45:41 PM
They look good Tom, I would happily stick them on my bat if you like?!!
Title: Re: New 2010 Bat Stickers
Post by: Tom on February 04, 2010, 01:59:55 PM
AdCal and RHTI are on par in terms of quality and are similar prices.

GN (I guess that's who you mean by Nics) have dealt with AdCal for ages, on the wall there's even a very rare set of BL stickers. Perhaps you meant it was Newbery moved to them this year?
Title: Re: New 2010 Bat Stickers
Post by: SillyShilly on February 04, 2010, 02:04:12 PM
Your probably right - for some reason i got it into my head that GN had changed their stickers this year (i.e - finish) and that was because of a change in brand - don't worry about me, i'll just keep imagining make-belief scenarios in my head :)
Title: Re: New 2010 Bat Stickers
Post by: Tom on February 04, 2010, 02:05:21 PM
AdCal changed their vinyl and adhesive, they're now printed on the 3M stuff (like RHTI have used for a few years) hence the change in finish.
Title: Re: New 2010 Bat Stickers
Post by: SillyShilly on February 04, 2010, 02:07:01 PM
Thats it - thankyou, i knew something had changed! What do mongoose use out of interest?
Title: Re: New 2010 Bat Stickers
Post by: Tom on February 04, 2010, 02:07:59 PM
Same, but with a different vinyl and finish to create the slight holographic effect.
Title: Re: New 2010 Bat Stickers
Post by: Howzat on February 04, 2010, 03:38:14 PM
Are Graficom much better quality?
Title: Re: New 2010 Bat Stickers
Post by: Tom on February 04, 2010, 03:41:45 PM
Graficom are good for short runs, but are v expensive and AdCal are better quality.

Great stickers, the ones on the back look fantastic. I like the shadow look (if that's what it's called).
Title: Re: New 2010 Bat Stickers
Post by: Watsontotty on February 04, 2010, 09:06:48 PM
Tom,

Thought id give you my 2p worth, as some have said the Ayrtek name and logo fails to hit you properly and as suggested white and silver trim may be a better stand out option but to be honest that's only a slight tweak etc. With regards to the shape i feel the sticker on the face of the blade side would look better square on the left side and slightly shaped on the right. As it stands in my opinion you can see the wood either side of the sticker which doesn't work for me.

On the back again I'm not 100% on the split either side of the spine, I'm not sure it work properly but as yet I'm not clear on why it doesnt look right to me. Just a few honest thoughts but hey not far off.

Cheers Rich...nice to get a range of opinions about them prior to going to print as they obviously need to appeal to the end user (potentially and hopefully some of you lot :) ). Will have a play with the colours tomorrow as been busy doing custom spray orders today.

Had a tweak of the stickers on photoshop to toy with a few colour schemes.....opinions welcome. Colours should be flourescent when printed along with a gloss finish and reflective silver around the edge of the text as per last photos.

They look better than the old ones. Maybe you could incorperate adding the buyers initials on to the bat, like the helmets?
Title: Re: New 2010 Bat Stickers
Post by: petehosk on February 11, 2010, 08:13:18 PM
I love 'em!!
Great stickers! The shape of them is great.
And the colours are spot on!!!  :D
If I had to pick my favourite colour combination out of all of those stickers, then I would have to pick 2 or 3 of them!!  ???
Title: Re: New 2010 Bat Stickers
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on February 11, 2010, 08:13:52 PM
Prob not mate as it would be far too much hassle to print them as one off sets and not worth the hassle for such a small profit margin. could leave a blank section where an individual could add their ininitlas aftewards with some letters like on the helmets if required but not likely to print them on each time as they would ideally be printed in batches.

Yeah gotta sweet talk the girl at the printers tomorrow into reeling off some samples for us :) they look better in reality as do most stickers as you cant capture the reflective silver or high gloss finish/exact colours on PC. Got the colour catologue here so having a flick through now.

Electric blue is my favourite colour, especially with a black background. Makes it stand out like neon :)
