I was going for consistency and finish. Dave, the white tanks are what I used as my design cue, as per our conversation about design consistency over several models. I think it works here but I don't know if it has the legs to work over a larger real world scale. What do you guys think?
I like the wheelbase on that top compilation :D. Also really like the blue on the wheels of the commuter. I did immediately associate the white tank with your bike, but it may be a little on the subtle side for nationwide brand recognition. I'm at a disadvantage because I'm not familiar with these bike so I can't tell what other mods you may have shooped in.
ReplyDeleteI like the white tank as a VBL element, but I think it needs an additional element if your style will be that diverse. It could be as simple as a consistent emblem that, per the VBL guidelines, must always be applied to a white tank. I could see that working really well.
ReplyDeleteThat sport bike rendering is super rad. I saw you've got them for sale. You should put them up for more then $17. It almost devalues how rad they are. Silence TV sells 17"x17" prints for $41.
That is cheap. I feel like I've spent $18 for a blank T-shirt before. This VBL guideline document is cool! Can't believe I haven't come across it before. I've got the jist of it but this really spells the whole thing out.
DeleteYea our specialty at TEAMS is VBL projects so I know loads about making entire lines of appliances look like a family. Guidelines are defined differently for every brand. Bosch for instance has THE STRICTEST VBL I've ever worked with. Designing a new tool for them is more like rearranging the VBL puzzle pieces.
DeleteI could probably forward you guys some VBL projects we've done if you want to see them. They're used to assist the internal design teams of our clients when designing a new product. i.e. The Bosch guideline completely lays out every detail about how a power tool's handle should be designed, down to the dimple placement on the soft grip. It's all about consistency.
