Hm, looks like it would work well on some builds (it would complement Ivan's wheels) but it's over the top for my taste. If I bought this version I would be strongly tempted to go over all the red with some black touch-up paint. Feeling lucky now that I got the vintage logo...
I like separating CRUZBIKE from SILVIO like that as the two together looked cluttered but I'm not as keen on the block lettering, the font size, and some of the orientation (sorry Andrew).
I kind of like the CRUZBIKE logo and it aligns well with the shape of the stay but I would size it just a tad smaller.
What I dislike about the SILVIO part is it is very blocky and angles straight across the beautiful curved lines of the main tube. I would like to see how it looks with the text following the curve of the frame, font size a bit smaller and not as blocky. Not cursive script either but somewhere in between. Probably use a matching font for the CRUZBIKE logo too.
I'd also make the "2.0" a little smaller than the "SILVIO" so the model name gets the primary emphasis with the version number subordinate to the model.
Curious to see how it would look with the slashes and 2.0 in a light gray too.
What Eric said, except I'm not a fan of those slashes/crescents before CRUZBIKE, in any color. Yes, it's way too easy to be a critic. I do look forward to seeing this on a finished bike.
That would be me - although I'm so incredibly fast you won't be able to see a thing. And I don't stop for traffic lights, either. Come to think of it, not installing any brakes will save me about a pound!
Any photos of the new decals on built bike. I have a nice line on some wheels but they are blue and white and that new decal might look just awful in combination. Seeing it at full bike scale would be more informative.
Sort of like this. Most components today are black, silver, grey or a combination of the three. I think with that in mind, the splash of red is a welcome accent.
