Before

A recent retouch and rescue for this photo from the 1980s. The power of PhotoShop and a lot of care and patience. “Nothing is real” sang John Lennon in 1967, always the visionary this was way before computer manipulation.

Re-brand for Lunar Racing

Hepps — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 08:29:57 +0000

Lunar Racing are group of dedicated motor racing engineers and scientists who have had the idea of using the highly competitive world of motorsport as a environment for education. They are based at the Rockingham Speedway which must be one of the most exciting locations for a classroom in the country. Theory lessons are taught in an executive box overlooking the start finish line. They were keen to have a rebrand, which I have detailed below.

Design Process – Introduction

Lunar racing offers some interesting challenges for a logo redesign. The brand as it is, contains several strong characteristics that it would be better to keep or compliment.

crescent moon symbol
strong typography
strong racing colour

The weakness of the logo lay mainly in the execution this can be easily strengthened using standard design tools, for instance creating a vector, scalable logo rather than a bitmap.

First Ideas

The first ideas centred around the moon and car symbols.

Back to the roots

It was thought that this was moving too far away from the original strengths of the brand, for instance losing the crescent, so I simplified the idea from car to wheel and moon to crescent.

Refining the idea

The tyre shapes were simplified to graphic symbols which were reminiscent of lunar craters which led neatly to a new crescent design. 3D was added to give the crescent some life.

A typeface was created from the original Bauhaus to give a more distinctive version of the text logo.

Final design

The final design is presented below:
