Title: About the Bird
Post by: TimTyler on April 04, 2013, 12:47:19 PM
So what's the deal with the bird logo? 

Is this a variation on a BMW brand? Can't seem to find any info online...

Looks like a variation of a Nazi eagle.  Hoe there's an earlier precedent...

Thanks, Johnny!

I was thinking about adding a 2012 Motobrick.com decal to the tragkorbs, or maybe even having some new decals made. The German bird is a great design, but I can't say I'm comfortable with the Nazi thing.

Thinking.... :idea2:

rodger that...

the bird predated the nazai regime... even tough the nazis used it... i have no problems with it... butts when we did it we figgered some folks would have problems with it... butts the motobrid was not intended to be the logo as a stand alone from the beginning... we wanted to get the motobird correct so we could take it to the next level... which has to be done by a pro cause its nertly...

brickflyer did a good job on it... then i had someone clean it up and put it on a transparent background...

a pro was retained in february to finish the logo which is called... the motobrick... its a back burner job at a high profile place to maximize yeeehaaa and minimize cost...

the motobrick logo will be rolled out in few weeks... its baddassed... and has no german elements other than the brick and the edge of the motobrid wings... i gotts a guy from troy lee designs tweeking it out... the deal comes with scotchlite reflective decals + t shirts +  hats... its really baddassed... the motobrickers will freak its so baddassed...

im gonna mail out the decals to anyone who wants one at cost to my paypal... will do the same for the shirts and hats... which will come after the decals... all of this will be in circulation by the end of the year...

i have not said anything because until i have the goods its premature... butts i can say its baddassed...

more later...

Looking forward to baddassed brick stuff. I have the only brick in the group that I ride in. I think the closest other brick is an hour away in a nearby town.

im not rushing it... the art work is close to being done... they are retracing it so when its vectorized it will look good on a 12 x 14 screen print on a shirt...

its baddassed... not the motobird or the tire with brick... this one is the real deal...
