[SAF Bats]

Tom sorry but i just dont agree.. The symbol for Mercedes has been around for years and is instantly recognisable from the 3 prong star, it was part of the original makeup of the company and has not changed for 80 years.  You hear the Intel jingle after every ad so it is etched on your mind and that jingle is hardly ever changed.

The newbery logo to me meant quality a seal of approval... to change it to the N with stripes, you will double take. Is that a Newbery or a copy?

As for the running of Newbery and pushing it forward... Are you suggesting the logo will do this? Newbery haven't signed anybody new up to use there bats, there has been no big fanfare within Newbery for godsake and the newest thing that has happened is that the logo as has been leaked onto a forum from a test website

Hardly trying there best to gain a greater market share or drive the company forward, they are still living on the old name and they should respect that.

The new Newbery logo relates closely enough to the last 10 years Newbery stickers and design so people will be able to see what it is. The old logo looks far too old fashioned and in a time when Junior bats occupy such a huge market share is it a good idea to have a logo which looks old fashioned? Salix for me have been ahead for the last couple of years in marketing despite being in a very similar market to Newbery, I think Newb have to follow their lead now.

A logo gives the feel and ambience of the brand, the rest of the brand follows it and designs should incorporate it. So yes I feel a change in logo will push Newbery forward in the 21st century.

Pepsi is a great example of a company who have changed their logo to reach out to the right market and they're still living on the Pepsi name.

I had to google the logo.. fyi benz logo changed quite a bit in the earlier years, but as the company grew/merged the logo changed along with it..



The new logo isn't that radical yet it also implies something new.. I like it.. I don't see the need for Newbery to spend money on signing new players as far as I know they probably have the highest amount of bats being used by professionals.. Plus anyone who knows anything about cricket gear knows Newbery is elite.. A little kid in Afghanistan has never been to Disney Land or watched cartoons on tv but I'm sure he knows Mickey Mouse the name.. Not how he looks... Newbery the name carries more weight than the logo is my point..

They havent even put the new logo on the new bats as far as i can see

I think the Thurxton bat looks a bit inspired from the GM ICON DMX (i might be wrong though)

Do not like the name Thurxton and the checkered flags are a definite no ... at least for me


btw, the new clint eastwood movie would make for a good bat name - Invictus (Latin word for unconquered)
