Logo on strings?

[Bigtime]

When you purchase a racquet pre-strung it usually has a logo painted on the strings. I recently purchased my first racquet that needed stringing, which of course did not have a logo. I noticed some on-line racquet sales offer logo painted on as an option.
(1)Do most people just not bother with the logo?
(2) Is it considered "un-cool" or "beginner" to have the logo?
(3) If answer to #2 is: NO, then are there stencils available for D.I.Y.?

Thank you for any responses!

I notice you're new - so welcome! You may not know the search button - but if you use it searching for "stencil" or "stencils" and you'll find more threads than you have time to read. To answer your questions:

1. It's a preference thing, some do, some don't, some stringers do, some stringers don't.
2. No.
3. Yes.

There is stencils available either from the manufacturer ( plastic ones), online for you to cutout, or buy from a store that may carry or get them for you. There is stencil paint available also. REMEMBER: it isn't advisable to use that stencil paint on a carpeted area. It should be done outside or on top of some sort of papers. Just a suggestion. Also, welcome to the site. Enjoy.

i have found that younger people really like the stencils. older people usually couldn't care less. sometimes i stencil my racquet, sometimes i don't.

I really like the stencils and I don't think it's an "uncool" or "beginner" thing.. Pro's have the stencil ink on their strings all the time. My 2 Dunlops are getting restrung by my coaches friend and he usually puts the ink on the strings, he put it on my friends Prince. I really hope he puts it the Dunlop logo on my strings, the logo looks awesome .

You don't have to put it on. Companies want you to in order to promote their company of course. If you are sponsored by a company they will requre you to have it on. Some stringers will put stencils on, it doesn't really matter to me, because I'm not sponsored. It's not un-cool, most people don't have their strings painted. Sometimes you can buy or print them of the companies website.

or you can make your own stencils of the pattern or whatever you like....one time i had a Ü [umlaut U] on my strings.... it looks pretty cool... but now a days im too lazy to stencil it on.

Yea, I do it when I feel like it. Besides, I use poly hybrid, that means I need to re-stencil every hour!
