Through the facebook contest discussed earlier, we have selected the first 5 consumers in the world to test the product. We'll have more information (release date, price, etc) as we approach the 2nd half of 2013.

Me too.

I don't like the new logo at all.

The new logo is better than the old logo, but the old logo incorporated a double line but was not identical with it.

Now they've gone with a simpler logo, which however changes colour, and even though it incorporates a double line (albeit blunted and asymmetrical) they've unfortunately felt the necessity of making the stencil logo exactly the same.

I'm sure this was done in the interests of marketing coherence, but its also ruined the considerable history of the marque.

I've got no idea how early this branding is but it shows that the previous logo developed out of the O (in ball-like flight) in Babolat:

This then became:

Pre 2003 IIRC. Somewhere around there is when they phased it out.

The marque with double lines:





The marque without:





I wonder what the new dampeners will look like.

I see that it is 2 wide lines not all the way across with what looks like about a 45 degree bevel on the left side of the lines.

Most likely like their new logo.

I think this new logo is shockingly poor to be honest!

Not that I liked the last logo, and I'm all for changing the logo every few years, but this logo could have been so much better surely.

The worst thing I think is that there is a very small gap between what's left of the "double line"s. The "double line" had become an iconic logo in quite a short period of time for Babolat on their rackets, and now it is difficult to see at all in the new logo. It basically just doesn't look very good!

The message, IMHO, is that their racquets are of lethal weapons in tennis.

Give me a break. The only thing to follow there is you being overly politically-correct. It is ridiculous to mention this in connection with the Sandy Hook killings. First of all, this ad was released well before that. The ad also doesn't have guns, but a silly cartoon version of other weapons.

The ad is as dangerous to kids as Wile E. Coyote having a piano dropped on him (which probably bothers you as well).

[droliver]

Are we going to see some of the wider open string patterns filter into the Pure Drive or APD lines from Babolat like the new Wilson Steam-S?

[Bartelby]

So your political views are incorrect?
