Title: Just a simple styling question... Post by: stopintime on May 16, 2011, 10:23:41 AM My bike deserves fresh paint - cowl and tank - maybe fender.
It's a red S2R and I think I'm going to follow my red, grey, black theme. The question: Sport Classic Duc logo (love the typeface) or original 'modern' Duc logo on planned partial white tank sides? (the widest parts of the tank, around the logo area) [moto] Title: Re: Just a simple styling question... Post by: Artful on May 16, 2011, 10:25:46 AM Meccanica font pwns all.
Title: Re: Just a simple styling question... Post by: stopintime on May 16, 2011, 10:37:59 AM Meccanica font pwns all. Agreed, but after thinking about it a lot - maybe it's out of place on my Monster...... If my bike was a nicely built cafe racer - sure - but it's not. That's why I ask. Maybe I need to redesign my bike from the ground up to justify the Meccanica style, but that's not tempting at the moment [cheeky] (well, maybe a little) Title: Re: Just a simple styling question...

Title: Re: Just a simple styling question... Post by: Artful on May 16, 2011, 11:19:55 AM Or just write "It's a make the beast with two backsing Doo-kati" in Sharpie on the tank. I've considered that before.

Dark without the plastic look of all my red plastic..... is a better place for it. As proven by you [thumbsup] I used to think the new(ish) logo was great, but now I'm thinking that it should be a little more exciting. Maybe it's time to dig into my not-recently-used art skills [roll] Title: Re: Just a simple styling question...

Glad I could help. Title: Re: Just a simple styling question... Post by: stopintime on May 18, 2011, 12:17:51 AM There are no simple styling questions. Glad I could help. The question is simple enough. Deciding by listening to you, not so much Title: Re: Just a simple styling question...
