Title: Wombats?
Post by: Talisman on September 07, 2010, 09:40:52 AM
Are these the worst looking stickers on a bat?

I think they might knock off Duck & Run and Bulldog off their perches for worst sticker design.

Devon made? I don't think so, I think they are made by Hunts and finished in Devon.

They do look interesting, Wonder if they spent much time considering if they were the best designs to go for.

In Roman mythology, Voluptas or Volupta, was the beautiful daughter born from the union of Cupid and Psyche. She is known as the goddess of "sensual pleasures" whose Latin name means "pleasure" or "bliss". The first known mention of Voluptas was made by the Roman author Lucius Apuleius, in the The Golden Ass.

Nothing voluptuous about those.

Kelly Brook and Lisa Snowden are voluptuous, other than Bosum Bats, I am not sure these make the grade.

Buzz, you are a surprise, I would have thought a man such as yourself would have fantasized over Maggie Thatcher.....

And "The Golden Ass" is not the sort of film that should be mentioned here, tut tut.

Voluptuous works for me...but in women rather than bats!
And those bat stickers! Not nice!  :o
When you look at the bat stickers that seem to be setting the standard right now (Voodoo stickers) then the wombat stickers are a little poor!  :-[

I agree that Blackcats are nice but are they original when looking at the salix stickers with the curves and silver band that wraps around the splice section?

Wombat however are setting their own standards in originality ensuring that no-one will copy them!!!

Buzz, stop digressing on thread please and keep your pin up girls private, next you'll have some of her in a bikini strolling along a tropical beach....

Surely the visual appearance of the bats labels convey a hard thought and planned impact designed to attract the target audience and induce them to delve further into the merits of purchasing said brands offerings?

I don't think they're too bad, they could be improved and simplified slightly though.

If I were making my own stickers I would do the Hosk Doughnut bat....mmmmmmmmmm, Doughnut!

Get them printed Mr Hosk would be one to set you apart from the crowd :) Im sure youve got a blank to stick them on...just make sure its not a doughnut bat with a hole in the middle of it!!
Title: Re: Wombats?
Post by: petehosk on September 07, 2010, 11:13:22 AM
It would be tempting!
Great talking point when I walk to the crease!!  :D

hmmm

I enjoyed your scientific hypothesis about stickers and Buzz's stalking of Margert Thacther so I think I will let the thread continue with its Sticker heresy

Ayrtek should be ban though because of too much encouragement

Title: Re: Wombats?
Post by: petehosk on September 07, 2010, 11:33:24 AM

Good old Kelly thats a great shot, well spotted Buzz.She would get anyone twitching in their box.

In Roman mythology, Voluptas or Volupta, was the beautiful daughter born from the union of Cupid and Psyche. She is known as the goddess of "sensual pleasures" whose Latin name means "pleasure" or "bliss". The first known mention of Voluptas was made by the Roman author Lucius Apuleius, in the The Golden Ass.
