Sunrace Driven Group

Hello all!
Quick check in to spread the good word on a little side project I helped (graphically) get going—the Driven™ brand from component manufacturer Sunrace.

I had a great time working closely with my brother and his team to develop an idea for a new premium level brand of road and mountain components from this established brand.

Building off of the name Driven, I developed the following logo for the new brand--I tried to evoke not only the speed associated with "Driven", but also allow for a secondary association, that of "Drive-N...As the world of bike parts is pretty rife with X's...

I also had the pleasure of developing the product graphics and colors for the new group-you can see a snippet of the road group below...

For way more information, check out the blog:

Sunrace will be posting more info as it develops and will have a new website soon!

Are you that Eagle in the Tree?

Quick one. My favorite TV comedy show is "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia". The show is just so wrong it's right. The clip below had me thinking back to my days at KIng, driving way too far doing race support, trail days or Interbike--all stuffed into the cab of the box van with either Grady, Kirby or Joe.

The clip below reminds me of the falsetto "Born in the USA" style songs that would usually occur somewhere down the ride (maybe from exhaust gases leaking into the cab)...When Charlie breaks into the final verse, I can't help but laugh my ass off!

The show is hella™ funny. Watch it...on the FX channel or iTunes.





Peep the script:

I'm gonna to rise up,
I'm gonna to kick a little ass,
Gonna to kick some ass in the USA,
Gonna climb a mountain,
Gonna sew a flag,
Gonna fly on an eagle,
I'm gonna kick some butt,
Gonna drive a big truck,
I'm gonna rule this road,
I'm gonna kick some ass,
Gonna rise up,
gonna kick a little ass,
Rock, Flag, and Eagle!
