Terrible. Full bars look better.

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

That's 19 racquets there...

Isn't that over... $3500? :shock:

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.

I think the logo is all right but on the strings it looks terrible. The two-stripe stencil was simple and excellent. Now you can barely see it.

Yes, this was my point as well. The logo itself is well designed, but it just doesn't work as a stencil in my opinion.

That's what I think too.

not a fan. At least not on the strings. The original was the best of all of them imo. I used to love seeing babolat stencils with the wilson above it in red like on sampras and old fed. Does anyone dual stencil anymore?

Racquet stencil and Babolat string stencil:
Virginie Razzano (Head racquet stencil, Babolat string stencil)

Racquet stencil and some other brand string stencil:
Kevin Anderson (Head, Luxilon)
Yen-Hsun Lu (Head, Signum Pro)


There are others

The new Babolat logo reminds me of the old Emrik logo (Australian brand; used by Evonne Goolagong, Kim Warwick and Wally Masur). Not a great association as Emrik was pretty much a byword for second-rate racquets.

I agree,

But the rackets themselves looked better in the old days too.
