Cool new logo. Cool new tv ad. Too bad only one of them is going to the men's quarters. If that.

Allez, Jo!

Here is the song from the ad. Got it from the band's myspace page.

If you mean 'Where'd I get the stencil'?, then I'm supplied them as part of the Babolat stringing team here in the UK. So when I'm stringing at a tournament I'm able to put the new design on the players rqts.

I've said this elsewhere, but I think it is ridiculous to build up the recognition of the "double line" stencil for many years, and then change it to this. I've seen this stencil used on new rackets, and it just looks a mess in my opinion.

However they changed it slightly, not using this stencil on Tsonga's racket, but using narrower lines and a bigger gap between them, and it looks quite good on his racket.

A small difference but really improves it I think!

Agree. I was much more a fan of the double line.

Nope, they did it exactly by the stencil, look at the ink marks on the stencil, and carefully at the stenciled racquets:

THe creativity is over at Wilson and Prince, I suppose. THose are the only companies w/o even a minor logo update over the past decade.

I think Dunlop did, so did head. Yonex did, too. Slazenger as well.

I like the new Babolat double line flag. It's grown on me.

It's kind of funny that their are differences in the paint job for fed's racquets compared to retail.

There are bigger logo fish to fry out there --- like Head and Volkl both shoving ski logos down the throats of their tennis customers.

I don't like it the new logo. I found the old logo much better.

Well they are ski companies first!

Btw the original HEAD logo was a simple dot . On the tip of their first skis back in the 50s....they added the stylized ski tip as the DOT just too plain.

Love the new logo.....the Modern B harkens back to the past with the original stylized Babolat Maillot Wit logo from years back.
