Racquet stencil logo change

[Bolivian Ace]

Next year when Addidas new racquets come out they will have the stringbed stencil with the 3 stripe logo, different than the one used on the racquets Lendl played with. I could not think of any other tennis racquet manufacturer which has changed their logo stencil. Do any of you remember some? If posible include pics.

Yonex made a slight change to their stencil back in the 90's I believe. I'll try and dig up some pics...

Airwolf, the pic does not show...

At the time, Babolat was only making strings and the stencil was "VS but they changed to two crosses stencil ~ mid 80's.

Slazenger

Slazenger used to use a big "S", sideways on the face of the racquet, back in the Manuel Orantes days, then went to the cat later on. And Dunlop had just the "D" before they had the "D" with that pointy thing added.

Sorry, dead link. This is the logo I'm talking about...

Yes, the current logo has been in use since about 1990. The old logo, the trefoil, is now only used on the adidas Originals line.

Actually, quite a few companies have changed their logo (and stencil) over the years.

Yes, looks like it. I guess the most notorious would be Slazenger and Dunlop, I don't know if Babolat counts, since at the time they only produced strings.

Mizuno used to have just an "M" on their frames now the stencil matches the actual company logo.
Slazenger switched back to the "S" logo about 5 or so years ago but have since then gone back to the cat.
For a while adidas ran both logos, the 3 stripes was only on the high end stuff called "equipment".

 

[Bolivian Ace]

Do any of you have pics of the Dunlop, Slazenger and maybe Mizuno, stencil?
