Vectrix's 2009 ELECTRIC logo
Hi.
I want to put a bigger "electric" logo on my vectrix. I've scanned the "electric" from a 2009 vx-1 and build it up in autocad and corel draw. If anybody wants the logo, you can find it here in a zip file, at the end of the post.

Enjoy!
IMO font too large. Should be on rear fender skirt. Better visibility. Pretty bike !
I just want access to 250A off the line. That would work much better than a sticker!
The sticker just makes idiots ask: "Is that thing electric?"
Those who would buy one will notice it, anyway!

Here usually people asks: Is that thing 100% electric? it is not Hibrid? Idiots are not interested in electrics. Ouch. (a hundred of people asked, but I've never been asked by a woman, forget what I said...)
In my opinion that kind of sticker will help the people realize that there are real alternatives to oil burners. If you don't know that there's an alternative, you won't buy it....
I think one of the best things about the vectrix styling is that is is fairly conventional. The Prius screams "Look at me! I'm am sooooo green and sooooooooo morally superior!" I think that offends a lot of punters who might consider an alternative if it didn't make them look like a tosser.
The Tesla model S, now there is a sexy EV
Too large!
However, adding 100% to the ELECTRIC logo might achieve the desired effect of fending off the 'Is it a hubrid?' queries!
I've modified the proportion of the logo. Now it is easier to read from far away... do you like it?
Since recognition is almost always quicker with icons than with text, I'd still prefer something like this on the rear cheek panels:
We could probably make one from stock art like this:
Today I've put the metallic Gray stickers on my vectrix. I apologise for the bad quality of the pictures, they were taken at night with a cellphone. I can assure you that today in sunset light the "electric"s looked suberb!
I love these two asymmetrical stickers!;-)Today I'll try to take better pics..
I am probably mostly alone in this, but I am more interested in how a bike runs, handles, feels and how reliable it is rather than what other people think of it.

Certainly not alone!
Unfortunately the whole Vectrix experience has been such for me that anyone asking me about it is likely to be turned off EV's for a while!

Really? I feeel it quite conveeeeeeeeentional... maybe tooooo big for average cars here. OHH wait a minute, you're from australia! Now I understand, you don't pay 10 $ a gallon. You still have the mental car schematics from the paaaaaaaaast century, as your car does not neeeeeeeeeeeeed to be efficient, does it? how much do you pay for a galon??? hehehe ;-)

A preview.. the letters will be in metallic gray
I'm not sure about the size... maybe too big? misplaced? I really need your opinion...
In this pictures it is almost impossible to read the original 2007 "electric",...
