Title: Quantock Cricket
Post by: t2ylo on January 28, 2021, 06:26:03 PM
So I had been toying with the idea of getting some stickers done for my refurbs for a while.

And with the help of @jamesisapayne and @FattusCattus I have eventually sorted design & printing.

The logo has evolved a little from original idea but this has been the journey

I have only just placed the order but as soon as I get them delivered I’ll have a few refurbs to post.

Fingers crossed they look as good as the artwork - both chaps from the forum have been amazing.

Thank you.

Nothing more exciting than it’s  where I live - the Quantock Hills.

Having seen some very average bat sticker designs recently, I applaud all involved - that's a nice bit of branding.

Really nice design. I actually think i prefer the back sticker design with the bat coming out of the circle. But subtle contrast between front and back works well.

The font is great aswell

In fact, the directors of Kicking Horse (the world's most exclusive and elusive bat brand) are looking for a re-brand - maybe i should put 'Team Quantock' in touch with them.

Thanks mate, I did actually design it like that originally but after we added the long text parallel to the spine on the back it looks more balanced the other way around.

My idea was to have the sticker wrap around the bat, and an added bonus of the design is that they’re ambidextrous so you can have them whichever way you want, but obviously the logo aligns differently depending on which side you go for.

@jamesisapayne @t2ylo nice work there gents, they look both good and original which seems increasingly rare these days!

Bit more of a bow on that profile and it'd be perfect ;)

My first print run of stickers probably does not stretch to selling any!!! It’s incredibly small scale

But thanks for the lovely feedback

Look smart. To me it looks a bit like a magnifying glass, not sure if that’s the aim or not?

Just a little update

I’ve started using my own stickers on my refurbs and they seem to have gone down pretty well.

I was so pleased with @FattusCattus that I’ve ordered some more colours and if all goes well, I will even venture into get a few new bats.

Youngest son seems to keen to help so might see what he can do with some posts on Twitter & Instagram

Anyway I thought I’d share some photos
