Hello to all

What do you think about this picture, guess everyone here should like it. Well, now you know badminton is being advertised. It's from the Olympics in Sydney, Australia. Pretty good, hey?

from a Designer's point of view? Awful.

The target age group of that design looks to be about 12 years olds? I think it's nice for what it is, and kudos for including badminton, but plz add some style.

This is all the info I got:

THIS GAME DATES FROM THE LATE 1950'S OR EARLY 1960'S AND WAS MADE BY A FAMOUS MANUFACTURE OF THE PERIOD, BERWICK. THE GAME IS BASED ON THE GAME OF BADMINTON AND THE PURPOSE IS TO GET THE PASTIC SHUTTLECOCK OVER THE NET INTO THE OPPONENTS HALF AND INTO THE APPROPRIATE COLOURED HOLE BY MEANS OF FLICKING THE SHUTTLECOCK WITH THE PLASTIC RACQUET. THE FULL INSTRUCTIONS ARE ON THE INSIDE OF THE LID. THE GAME ITSELF IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH NOTHING MISSING OR DAMAGED INCLUDING THE VULNERABLE S/COCKS AND RACQUETS. THESE ARE IN GREEN/RED/YELLOW/BLUE COLOURS. THE ONLY SLIGHT DAMAGE IS TO ONE OF THE HOLES ON THE MATRIX IS SPLIT BUT THIS COULD BE EASILY GLUED AND DOES NOT DETRACT OR SPOIL THE ENJOYMENT OF THE GAME. THE BOX IS VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH SOME WEAR AT THE CORNERS AND A TEAR AT THE TOP RIGHT HAND CORNER AND SOME SLIGHT CREASING BUT THIS DOES NOT DETRACT FROM THE PERIOD DESIGN OF A FAMILY ENJOYING PLAYING THE GAME. WHAT A NICE PERIOD PIECE AND EMINANTLY USEABLE/PLAYABLE.

Hate to say this, but ya... it was all from ebay. Was searching around and my friend found it, so I was like why not post it on the forum.
