Candidate Logos
Logo Notes
Ric Robinson's Stylised Bike

Designer – Ric Robinson
The stylised bike logo that split opinion at the open meeting. This is a simple, clean design produced by a professional graphic artist (Ric Robinson). It represents a bike and the letters PCF with only 4 lines.
Supporters liked the fact that it was stark, strong and unique with perhaps a Japanese feel
Critics felt that it was too hard to see what it was and that it had communistic undertones.
Tristan Savage Sprocket Logo

Designer – Tristan Savage
A clean, strong logo that will scale to all sizes to work well in all media – website, business cards, flyers etc. The logo has been designed to work in the simplest colour form (black) so that it will transfer across many colours and work in many different ways.

Tristan has produced some examples of how his logo could be used in banners and on photographs. Have a look at them.

Speedy Bike Logo

Designer – Jon Spencer
A simple bike, skewed to give the impression of movement.
Star and Crescent Logo 1

Designer – Jon Spencer
A simple design taking the city’s emblem of a star and crescent and putting them into the chainwheel and sprocket of a bicycle drive train.
Star and Crescent Logo 2

Designer – Jon Spencer
A variation on the star and crescent design with the star as a cut out.
Kathy Azopardi Cog Designer – Kathy Azopardi
Text based logo with a cog on the O.

Note that Ric Robinson is not happy for his design to be modified – therefore any proposed logos must be based on original ideas rather than variations on Ric’s.  All designs that were variations on Ric’s have been removed.

Quote from the The Times campaign for shared space and safer cycling: As a point of comparison: since 2001, 576 British soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan and Iraq; 1,275 cyclists died on British streets. The latest data shows there were 1,850 deaths or serious injuries in the first half of 2011, a 12 per cent rise on the year before. Britain leads the world in competitive cycling; it is time that we did the same for the cyclists on our streets. Drivers and cyclists need to realise that co-existing safely benefits everyone, in terms of public health, traffic, pollution, and congestion on our roads, trains and buses.
