NO very eye catching....

the back stickers are confusing... you are mixing acute angles and straignt lines with curved lines....designing conflict....

generally the stickers are there to cover the splice area, but in you design they cover everything except the splice area. It may be perceived thet you are trying to hide the imperfections in the willow.

Not too convinced with the name too PURE?? Gaurdian???? By the look of the profile, the bat seems to be desined to let hell loose on the bowlers.... no way a guardina angle....

Try to make the front stickers in form of a shield with a separate sticker below with the profile/range name

sorry amte not the nicest comments but I wrote what came to my mind first

Which colour you prefer and do you like the back sticker with a border like the blue one or no border like the grey one

If you are serious about making bats then quit this sticker rubbish as it will make no difference. Lets have a look at your clefts, tools and workshop first and if you have the skills then the rest will follow.

Thats the best piece of advice on the thread.

Get a bat made and post photo's of your effort, then more people will start taking you more seriously

I completely agree with Talisman and e4sby.

Let's see your clefts and bats first.

Product is more important than the marketing / lables....

If your product is good you will achieve repeated sales and good word of mouth.

If your stickers are attractive you will end-up with only impulse and one time purchases ( mostly from not so serious cricketers).

If both the product and the stickers are good.... I am willing to invest in your company:))

(I personally do not like bats with a lot of stickers. My favourates are the Salix, Screaming Cat, a couple from the Newbery range)

all good advice from experienced members of the forum at the end of the day you will be judged on your bat quality stickers are very secondary to this. Good luck
