Wheel Branding

Design Tips

  • Keep logos and important artwork away from the bleed line to avoid clipping during printing.
  • Avoid placing text in the center; the center hole will cut off any text or logos.
  • Use patterns or designs that look visually appealing when spinning.
  • Make sure to follow the General Requirements as close as possible.

Print-Ready Artwork Example

  • Ice Cream Bike Considerations

    Ice Cream Bike Wheel Branding Template
  • For the Ice Cream Bike, the non-drive side has a pulley with an 8″ diameter circle that won’t be visible. Focus your artwork toward the outer part of the wheel rather than the center.

Frame Branding on Top Tube

Design Tips

  • All frame branding artwork foreground elements should maintain a safe margin from all edges to ensure no important elements are cut off during production
  • Extend background elements to the bleed area
  • Logos and text should be visible and proportional to the frame size
  • Follow the General Requirements whenever possible

Steps on Frame Branding

1

Create a design that follows the formatting outlined in the General Requirements, and submit.

No need to use a template-- just make sure the design is within the 10" x 2" dimension requirements and texts no smaller than 1/4" in height, like this given example.

Color Considerations

For white bikes, we can apply a colored version of your logo on the frame. For other colors, we can apply layer colors in some cases.
