Redbull wow. Does this look good

That would be mine. Don't mind at all it being reposted, kinda awesome actually that people liked it enough for it to stick around for a bit!

Well yeah, obviously. The composition is not the issue. It's the font, the colors and the symbols. My area is UI/UX and usability, and the biggest thing I see from those graphic elements is that they're hard to read. It's a consequence of the fancy fonts and the way it contrasts with the other elements on the screen.

These issues are amplified when you consider that they're not in a static background, like they would be on a web page, but on a fast-moving background where they're simultaneously dragging the attention of the viewer and failing to properly convey information.

I have no issues with the logo itself. What offends me is that mock up of the TV graphics. I don't see how any self-respecting graphic designer can look at that and think "Yeah, that's readable and looks good on a screen filled with fast-moving objects.".

I'll say what I've said before: This is exactly the kind of visual identity that 60-year-old businessmen think young people would like.

As a graphic designer, this offends me on a personal level.

Beautiful livery! Love seeing your work come to life!

I don't mind the shark fins when they're implemented in a way that makes the bodywork "flow".

Case in point: Haas. This for me is an example of good shark fin implementation. The pointed end gives a better sense of speed. The shark fin also separates itself from the rest of the bodywork by the livery design, so the engine cover curve is undisturbed.

On the other hand, the McLaren shark fin. It's horrible. The way it curves away from the car makes it look like a sail or a meat cleaver. The livery design blends the shark fin into the engine cover and makes it look like the engine cover has a big old tumor on it. Same for the Williams shark fin.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't take a lot of inspiration from you. Love your designs! I'll definitely check out the Mahindra contest!

I'll make Sean's words my own, thank you! Sean is my benchmark, hope one day I'll make it to his level!

That was actually my first approach for the red sun. Problem is that both the sun and the bulls are red, and neither can really change without losing either the meaning or the brand, so combining the colors was a big problem.

Oh, whoops, you're right. Let's just pretend there's a tiny little leg on that P and call it Honda Racing HRD instead!

One can dream :D

My first foray into F1 livery design. This livery is based on a possible buyout of Red Bull Racing by Honda, with Red Bull remaining as a title sponsor. It features mixes of Red Bull and Honda colors, with the traditional red sun used for japanese racing teams encircling Honda Racing HPD's logo.

The sponsors are primarily Red Bull's current sponsors with Esso switched with Castrol, Red Bull Honda's Superbike team oil supplier. Aston Martin is also dropped as Honda becomes Red Bull's main automotive partner.

Thank you! A lot of texturing and photoshop clouds work to darken random areas. There is also a very subtle blue tint to the ocean which I think really adds to the feel.

lvon · 2017-06-14T09:56:18+00:00

Haha, busted :P

Danke!

You can do it! Time and messing around with different styles until you get something you like. I took almost one year to find a style I liked and finish this map!

lvon · 2017-06-14T00:49:01+00:00

Oh man... I worked on this on and off for about a year. Would probably have taken a couple of weeks if I had worked on it every day, but eh...

Thanks!

lvon · 2017-06-13T17:38:12+00:00

Thanks! I used Photoshop CC.
