Not a good idea to put the logos this way, imho.
But what about the idea to let the members here vote for your designs?

?The ones on the strings?

[Accordaz]

Yep, on the strings.

If you look at it at an angle - which you do most of the time you're playing......

Anyway, this is what 'conceptualisation' is. Trying wacky stuff.

I think I might put a poll up on Facebook at some stage, but it probably be just before I commit to the production run.

First batch of samples from Manufacturer A is here! *happy dance*

Yeahhhh! Play with them now, go go go!

Quick question I've put up on my facebook page -

What would be a good name for our first foray into Badminton rackets?

a) Urumi
b) Kanabo
c) Ascalon
d) Katana
e) Kusanagi

Vote once! Vote often!

On a separate note, 5 brand new prototypes from my preferred supplier are due to ship out this Friday! Sooo excited!

Nice. I've voted now. But I would recommend a name who's not too japanese (like). Just my 2 cents :P

[soulless]

The most easily remember name will triumph, don't be too fancy, let the design do the talking if you want fancy

[Maklike Tier]

Doesn't everyone love all things Japanese?

This is why I like Ascalon though. It's such a lovely counterpoint, and in the current environment, and nice nod to the underdog too, if you think about it.

Ass-clown?

Ass-clown?

Ouch! …............

[Maklike Tier]

Soulless by name.....Soulless by nature

Jokes aside, how else do you think players in English speaking countries will pronounce it?

I don't really get your jibe though, do I sound cruel?

[yerrorice]

Use katana for the first racket! Since its an easy and simple name, maybe us Ascalon for the second one?
