New Project '59 Experto Crede

We're catching a taxi here at 12.00 for round 2 , 'Get the family on our bargain bucket holiday' -5 days... Worked out what the cancellation was, big earthquake. The jet company, said weather...There was one yesterday too... Costing more in taxi's this hols. Still it's the Mrs's gig -she really needs a break, oh yes.

So in limbo...that's why I'm here ;)
I thought you loved us 😞
 
It's a strange pull logos -only some seem uber important to have...yeah, personal perf, but tend not to go for the sticker bombed look -I did go to town on that FZR though...Copyright what Copyright -personal use. Had Sonic and SEGA all over it... A one off, suited the plug and play nature of those late 80's early 90's bikes -Custom job... Iron Maiden could clean up the amount of times you see Eddie shouting out fro custom motorcycle paint jobs...;)

Remember when folx used to write Honda in the Norton Script on their tanks? Some were really well done -like you say, first glance you'd miss it.
 
There's a fine balance of Cleverness/nicking someone's intellectual property -CokedeCola scripted mugs are everywhere, is become totally acceptable to infringe copyright if yer being clever... for my part, couple of well designed logo's, given space around them to breathe can exude class...

but there's always exceptions, always a fine balance with the paint scheme -that's where it really get fun to my mind...colour harmonies, matching logos to the paint scheme -

With the Hetchins here -the seatpost decal from H. Lloyd's down in Tenterden -was standard Hetchins colours -to my eye didn't suit the paint, so been remade removing the green colour that clashed and recolouring to match the Mazak Headbadge... and as a whole it pulls together, doesn't snag the eye. Lot to be said for colour harmonies/clashes when putting these bikes together -and we all do it, logos or not.

please excuse the oily paw prints all over the bike at the mo... not a great one of the original logo, but get the idea, just didn't seem to match.
