I don't care much for the wrist band. A person looking at it can't read it and it's too common these days. The name AZ has to stick out. The CCB key chain was oval, about 3" long and 1" wide and had large letters as is shown in the post above. It needs to be seen and recognized across the room... imo.
I don't see anything wrong with having all the colors. Hey! Maybe green like real pool table cloth? Green with ??? letters. White letters... like a cb?
The wrist band won't be for everyone, I agree.........however some people will like it. If you don't like it then don't wear it. However, they are popular, and everyone I know tends to ask what they are for. Then that strikes up the conversation of what the band is for.
So we want to have key chains that are exactly like another sites? Tell me that when you are 50' away from that CCB key chain you can read it?
A bright color would be seen easier, and if it is a specific color combo then everyone from AZ will notice it. If you aren't from AZ you will probably ask what it is.
If it just says AZ on it most people will just think you are from Arizona, or something to that affect.
There was a thread in here I think by Melinda that said when she was at a tournament with her AZ jacket on someone thought she was an Arizona pool player.
I understand that there are pros and cons to everything, but my main objective is to keep the price down while being able to spot the keychain or wristband from across the room in a dim lit pool hall. It is an identifier to AZ members as well as being a conversation starter for people that aren't aware of AZ.
Let me ask you this question.................how many logos can you spot out in advertising because of the color pattern or style they use? Nike used a swoosh, Cingular used an orange X, Apple used an apple with a bite in it, Verizon used a red checkmark, Audi uses four rings, etc.
The point is that once people know what to look for it will be easily reconginzable to our whole forum. We just have to make a decision on what it is and get them in circulation. Once in circulation they will catch on like wildfire! LOL
