    Here are some of mine, made using Citadel model paints - water-soluble acrylic modelling paints that will not (I'm pretty sure of that!) eat into plastics

    I drew the stick figure by hand on paper, stuck it onto a piece of cardboard and cut it out with a hobby knife.

    The only snag I had was I put the figure slightly off-centred on the cardboard, hence when I flipped it over to do the other side of the racket it was a bit crooked!

    Today I made the "nuclear warning" logo on my racket. It looks very nice... :D

    Maybe I´ll be ready to upload a picture tomorrow.

    At first I wanted the chemical symbol for "explosive" but it was too complex for the string structur.

    Does anyone else use designs on their strings?

    Just wondering if anyone else had tried using difference designs for stencils on their badminton strings. I'd love to see some unique ones ^^

    My MP "L"imited that I just drew on today

    Nice! How did you make your stencil? I wanted to do the same to my racket but with the letter "A". Calligraphy is awesome! What did you use for ink, btw?

    I drew the L on the elastic thing that comes with new rackets on the string bed (if that makes any sense) and cut out the L. I used the Forza Stencil Ink because it's the only one I could find in my area xD

    Well a friend and me back when I still competed had a piece of paper with a heart shaped (no idea where the heart shape came from :p) cut out of it and sprayed it with red spray paint at the beginning of a competition to see who got more clean hits (you see who has most paint worn of in the center)

    At least it's stencil ink. Nobody sells stencil ink around here. I don't want to use a sharpie on my strings.

    That's pretty nice. Is it supposed to look like something in particular?

    I had this one a while ago:

    I used a sharpie paint marker which is similar to stencil ink. You might want to rotate your head around to look at it.

    lol nice
    i used a sharpie on my old racket and it turned out ok but after every session lots of ink comes off :p
    i find that yonex's ink last longer

    The symbol is a K
    A k that looks like l o and c combined
    since my intials are K L theres a K and a L so this is what i came up with
