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.

I see your point. But its the same lettering as on the rims. Yes, you could easily mistake the half-x for a v. However, Im not suggesting we redesign the logo for Peter from scratch. At least the existing logo establishes a link to the rims: ‘Oh, it’s the same lettering. The frame must be from the same manufacturer as the rims.’ Branding is often about simplicity and recognisability within ones own product range.
