reminds me of Charlie French with that logo!!!!!

I love that logo!

not dissimilar to the charlie french one though in terms of design but like the use of integrating the TB together

NB should have read the earlier comment! lol

I like how cleverly tbarnfield avoided giving away gloves and pads by changing the idea of T.B.C to TLB Cricket.. Well done...haha

don't you think this us all bit dull, the name, the logo and how you want the bat to look?
I appreciate you are going for a traditional look, but that still gives you way more scope than this.

Castle Cricket
LA Cricket
L15 Cricket
TBC (Tom Barnfield Cricket)
TLB Cricket
TLB Sports
Five Star Cricket
Northern Star Cricket
Northern Star Sports
Star Cricket
T2 Cricket
Projeckt:B Cricket

All the ideas so far...

...anything better...or any favourites amongst those?

TLB Cricket was one of my own ideas from the start!

I'll give away pads and gloves to anyone who designs a set of stickers that I use. Even if I only use a part of your design! I'll stick to my word.

Thanks for the feedback, both good and bad. Still at the early stages, but hope you enjoy being part of my process!!

Still coming up with basic designs by myself at the moment for the stickers, hoping to finally decide on a design some point next week. Anyone has any ideas then go ahead!

I understand what you are saying. These are very basic at the moment. A colour code of black, white and silver will look elegant in my eyes. Sometimes the best things are simple. I personally don't want to create something flashy and full of garish colours like Kookaburra and Puma.

All input is gratefully received though, and maybe I need to find a balance of the two.

think Leo went down the same route with his Predator stickers that he did a while back.....the colour scheme will only work if your looking to go for the top end printing materials when having them done.

Sorry for being a bit of a stick in the mud here and I know this isn't all about someone getting a free set of gloves and pads but if you are going to put that on offer you really should take yourself out of the equation, which is hard considering it is going to be your brand, everyones ideas could lead in part to your ideas subconsciously and someone could feel like they got duped if they think there idea had anything to do with the end result... Just something to think about.

Bring on TLB Cricket I say

If I were you now you've got the name, come off the forum. Work with a graphic designer and the sticker manufacturer, design the stickers, make a couple of mockups and then share them for opinion.

There's a lot more you could be doing with those stickers, which a good graphic designer will do.

Yes, definitely agree with that. I think the best stickers on the market today are the BlackCatCricket ones. Just think they look fantastic, and are obviously great quality. I'm sure these come at cost though. Try and find the balance of cost and quality in order to keep the final product affordable.

Been on with this for the past week or so. Just seeing if anyone had any fresh ideas. We should hopefully have about 5 examples to choose from next week.

Don't skimp on stickers. They're the difference between a premium product and a cheap one. It's worth paying the extra �5 for quality.

Also make sure you taking into account profiles when designing stickers. For example, how well woudl that toe sticker on the back of the bat going to stick if you're using top quality chrome stickers and a bat which has a spine going all the way down to the toe.

tbarnfield99 · « **Reply #149 on:** August 09, 2011, 02:55:39 PM »

Yes, pretty sure that toe sticker won't be used anyway, but thanks for all the help, very much appreciated.

Hopefully I will have something of decent enough quality to show for my efforts in the not too distant future!
