Hands up who wants a 305mm BP WOVEN Bravesword???

[Maklike Tier]

And whilst I patiently await the quote, here's what the whole design looks like the right way up.

Now meet the ugly cousin



Whilst you are waiting for the quote at least let me drool over the Stealth in full (or better yet, use it for the next Meteor based clone)

@Maklike Tier - that's a sweet looking racket. A true beauty. I think I like the white portion (at 7-8 o'clock) just for the brand name and green for the other side (4-5o'clock). So that the white portion will always be the signature graphic defining White Label. Right off the bat...you'll know it's a White Label racket. Still don't like the brand name though. It just doesn't roll off the tongue very well like...Yonex, Victor, Li-Ning, Kason, etc. And if you think globally...I don't think the name White Label will catch on. I hope I'm wrong and wish you success in your new business adventures. Kudos to you for having the guts to do something like this.

^^ Agree with CD. It'll give it asymmetry which will make it stand out among so many other rackets. Kinda like Z Slash's asymmetry.

And the White Label name may carry unnecessary racial connotations in this day and age.

I never even considered that. Whatever you do...don't call it White Power .

I'm just wondering why did you put the model as Kanabo

when I saw it, I thought it was Kanebo (which is a cosmetic brand.. why the heck someone use cosmetic brand as a racket model?)
or associated with placebo..

now I know Kanabo is a word in Japanese that means a type of weapon

Whichever way you look at it, you can't please everyone with colours, graphics, names etc so honestly, I'm not even going to try. You can always find something negative about a brand name if you look hard enough. I mean, Li-Ning sounds like 'Leaning' in English which means 'about to fall over'! Yonex sounds like a medication you put on cold sores. People just get used to brand names, so in my eyes what really matters is strong graphics and a strong logo, which I definitely think the White Label has.

I have tried a few asymmetrical designs and tried to make the while panel more prominent - that's where the Stealth design really shines - but I do agree with CD and Visor that perhaps I need to work on some more asymmetrical versions to see if I can make it work.

The logo is great. Although I had to google Wilson logo just in case.

Can you imagine if Dan instead of choosing "Panda Power", had chosen "Black and White Power" !?

[Maklike Tier]

Here ya go, Demolidor. Don't get too excited though, I think lime green is winning.

[demolidor]

That true white label thing would make it look even better . By all means proceed with the lime, the 305 range is not my cup of tea anyway ...

[alana07]

a 295 - 305mm BP range will open up a bigger market potential, coupled to the #1 design....

The specs of this racket are like a dream come true! I would definitely buy it just for the performance. On the design part, its great but I do wish it had some sort of tribal design like the stuff coming from Yonex these days. Eh, beggars can't be choosers!

No room for tribal stuff coz you want maximum exposure for the beautiful woven carbon.

Maybe just a little bit on the corners like the MX80?

[Maklike Tier]

I'm workin' on it

[Maklike Tier]

Okay, I don't think the forums can handle an image this size, so hopefully it doesn't shrink it down too much. I've taken advise on-board and played with more graphics and an asymmetrical design, and the design is evolving nicely!

Now I just wish the quote would hurry up and come back already!
