ABP Logo -- Who's the Outlined Player?

In looking at the green, black, and white logo of the ABP (Association of Billiard Professionals), I was curious who *may* be the player outlined.

I remember the UPA logo, the IPT logo, and now we have an ABP logo.

Do you know who that player is? :p

My guess would be mika but the hair is wrong. SVB Maybe?

I was thinking Mika, too, especially the way he's holding the cue stick, but when I look at the nose, it looks like Johnny Archer. However, the hair is wrong for Johnny. :p
 
Well, we know it's not Rodney Morris, or else it would be a beefed-up looking player, with muscles! :D

and it would have a speech bubble saying "you know...."

Actually I think it is Mika. I've been trying to find the picture they used for it.
 
Part Johnny part Stevie Moore..I also heard Stevie talkin bout this in person and he was talking identical to the guy posting all thsse posts..

Stevie Moore got burned in more ways than one by how he's been treated in pool tournaments, and I'm not talking about the Open. I'm talking about the BCA, but that's a topic for another thread, I guess. :p

The arms of the shooter in the logo don't look like Johnny's. He has very thin arms. The stance of the logo player does look like Shane and Mika both. Mika and Shane, though, don't have the little hair thingie coming down in the front.

I wonder who designed that logo and if they did, in fact, use a player's profile to create it! :cool:
 
Could it simply be a generic outline of a male player?????

That's possible for sure, but that outline just reminds me of somebody, and I can't place who.

Here's a generic graphic of a pool player below. The one on the ABP logo has features that seem more individualized, like the nose, the little bangs of hair, the stance, the way they hold the cue. :p

Not to come off as too snotty or anything, but do you really think they had the forethought to have a real persons photo image digitized for their logo?

Far more likely that they had someone get this from some web source.

Perhaps I'm wrong, I often am. Ask my wife. :p

You could be right for sure. I'm sometimes wrong myself. Ask my husband. :D

I'd love to know the answer, though -- if there is one. :embarrassed2:
 
I guess it's a step up from the UPA logo...it does look like Mika.
