Re: XMCS - 2026 AERYS:VRT and AERYS:…

Statement on the naming below.
Honestly, the AERYS brand font/logo wasn't to my taste...if I were Peter, I'd keep the XMCS brand, but I'd work on the logo, perhaps differentiating it from the one used for the rest of the production.
I don't like the new logo on Patrick's bike; I think the one created by a forum user for the Gran Turismo frame is much better (see photo).

Re: XMCS: 2026 Aero Gravel bike First of all, thanks for the positive feedback on my last mock-up. So here is a second, slightly improved version.

I really liked the choice of the word ‘aerys’, but the font didnt match the ‘XMCS’ on the rims. You cant please everyone but the fact that the majority would prefer a frame without any branding shows that the current concept isnt quite right yet. I very much hope that the latest logo posted by requiem doesnt get the green light, as it again doesnt match the font on the rims and lacks a consistent design language. The ENVE logo, even though its just as intricate, is symmetrical and simple, making it very pleasing to the eye. The proposed font is very obtrusive, looks cheap and lacks a timeless appeal.

I hope more care is put into the design as (for me) branding is just as much a part of a good frame as the quality or the lay-up.

Edit: I just want to make clear that Im simply trying to help. The GRT and VRT frames look great otherwise, Ive already seen them in Frankfurt at the weekend.

Re: XMCS: 2026 Aero Gravel bike A white frame with a holo effect font always looks so good!
You cant place the logo quite that high, because the frame flattens out a bit towards the fork. Thats why the lettering has to end before that point, otherwise the spacing from the bottom edge of the down tube will be uneven. The AI has also altered the frame shape slightly. Thats why I fired up Photoshop.  8)
