How a specs of Red makes everything pop in a logo.
Enjoy and have a good week ya’ll!
Thats it folks. Hope it helped for some who are looking for inspirations.
All rights of the logos belongs to their respective owners of course! 
Again another post about my interest in automotive. 
Geneva Motor Show 2010 is underway, all concepts have been revealed (i hope) and i’ve seen them. Some irks me, some fairly interest me, and the ones that im gonna post here really caught my attention.
And i’m gonna tell you why too.
First up, (as in my last post on Porschematics) :
Porsche 918 Spyder Concept.
A performance hybrid that looks as good as it goes.
This is the future of motoring.
Audi A1
Audi’s challenger in the compact car segment. It looks good and we dont have to reply on Minis anymore for a small luxury car that packs punches. This is the new hamster on steriods. 
Lamborghini Gallardo LP-570 Superleggera
I’m a huge fan of the Gallardo. The lines on this beauty is amazing and the car is so well proportioned in terms of design. And now, with with Lp-570, i think its the most beautiful sports car at the moment. I’d take it in green thank you. And let people be green with envy.
Koniegsegg Agera
Not because its one of the most powerful supercars out there.
Not because only a few lucky individuals would be able to own it.
But because we will almost never see it on the roads.
2011 Lotus Elise
Those who know me will know I’m Lotus crazy. Its probably the only sports car that will feel like its an extended part of your body while u’re driving it. Its a testament of man and machine becoming one on the road.
And this new version looks deliciously sexy. :p
Bugatti Grand Sport in Carbon Fibre
The Veyron would probably be every motorhead’s dream to have in their garage. Not a new supercar in the playing field.
But this beast looks like an orgy of carbon fibre. I cant imagine that power, now in a ultra lightweight body.
Given wings, im sure this car will fly.
Literally.
Peugeot SR1 Concept
Peugeot. Known for designing cars a bit out of the norm and with loud design cues.
This SR1 softens the look of the Peugeot cars we have out there today. I love it.
Alluring, sexy, smooth, refined…it goes on.
I hope this is new face of Peugeot.
Citroen Survolt
All i’m gonna say is… OMFG, can you believe this is by Citroen?!
I dont know about you, but i sure as well cant stop looking at it! 
Bertone Pandion for Alfa Romeo
Need I say more? True to Bertone’s philosophy of a low ride and long body. But the doors on the Pandion is just wicked! And the fins at the back reminds me of Transformers.
Could this be Alfa Romeo’s new face?
The Pandion is a beautiful mess.
Volkswagen Polo Gti
I saved this for last. I’m a sucker for hot hatches. The previous Polo Gti i liked a lot.
This one i LOVE.
DrewSmith said in his opinion, was the best looking at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2009.
I can see why. Its the perfect all rounder.
Unlike the cars that i’ve mentioned, this one is attainable.
And I want it. Seriously.
So many supercar manufacturers are taking their best shot at producing a performance hybrid. I havent given any of those much attention until i saw This.
Yes… THIS.
PIP: Porsche Intelligent Performance.
And its creation : Porsche 918 Sypder Concept.
Although a concept, but now i finally feel the future of motoring is near. Very near.

Here you go, have your cake and eat it too. Porsche is looking to prove that the best of both worlds don’t have to be mutually exclusive with the 918 Spyder concept scheduled to debut tomorrow at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. Looking a bit like a Carrera GT evolved, the 918 Spyder is powered by both a 500-horsepower V8 and a pair of electric motors (one for each axle) producing an additional 218 hp or 160kW. At full gallop, the concept can theoretically reach 62 mph in 3.2 seconds and nip 198 mph on the high end. On the flip side, Porsche says it can also achieve 78 miles per gallon and emit just 70 grams of CO2 per kilometer.
How does a supercar have such range? Well, the 918 Spyder concept is a parallel hybrid just like your mom’s Prius (well not just like). That means the two powertrains, gas and electric, can operate together or separately to motivate the wheels into motion. There are no less than four modes that configure the powertrains for anything from maximum efficiency to maximum performance and everything in between. The E-Drive mode means pure electric power, and the car can reportedly last up to 16 miles on electrons alone. Next up is Hybrid mode, which is just what it sounds like and would probably be the mode for everyday around town driving. The Sport Hybrid mode again uses both powertrains, but tips the needle a bit more towards performance with most power reaching the rear wheels. Finally, the Race Hybrid mode means all systems are go for the lowest lap times possible (Porsche says it can do the Nordschleife in less than 7:30 minutes). There’s an even a push-to-pass button (if only it were that easy) that adds a bit of E-boost on the straights and, of course, regenerative braking is present and accounted for.
Lastly, take a good look at the interior because Porsche says it offers a glimpse at future interiors from the automaker. Sounds good enough to buy so far, right? Too bad, because it’s just a concept.
As the 2010 Geneva Motorshow is about to begin, I cant wait to see actual photos of this baby.
This year is gonna be a great year for the future of automobiles.
Enjoy the video and a pics at the end!
Hello Peeps!
Last weekend i posted about Austin Chase in Gardens MV, I havent been going around to any new cafes in the past week so no cafe to recommend.
However, to share a cafe related issue. Here’s one i designed about a year back.
Yes, the name is the Library. And in my defense, it was designed wayyy before The Library @ the curve came about. I have proof! lolz.
A design brief on what my version of The Library is about.
In the days of old, a library is where one goes to for information. In today’s age a library isnt as popular anymore. Cos information is being obtained anywhere, anytime thanks to advancement in digital technology. However, the client (undisclosed telco company) intends to bring the concept of a Library back via a cafe setup.
Instead of books, computers, videowall and internet TV is what makes this establishment. To appeal to the general demographic, the design has to be chic, vibrant, modern yet cozy. Too high-tech looking and it becomes cold. So what i did was to give this place a good mix. Using wood flooring, it gives the place a warm, cozy feeling. The glass bookshelves are being filled white empty books with the establishment name written on the book spine. And filling up the rest of the insides with modern tech.
As one moves in, the huge table at the front which bears a chromed teardrop base and a dark wooden top is a ‘show and tell’ table. Ie, should Apple do a small showcase of their product lineup, it can displayed there.
The videowall is what lines up the backwall of the entire cafe. It will continuously run videos of sorts making it interactive instead of a normal stagnant wall.
Overall lighting of the cafe is meant to be dark. With the videowall giving some part of the light. I’ve used furniture from Ron Arad and a couple of Swan Chairs. also to complete it, Orbit table to put in in the mix of chic-ness and modernity. The dome lights above each sets are from Artemide. And i’ve proposed for the Library to use Macs all around.
A trendy cafe counter is fashioned out of chrome, wood and concrete! Giving this place a raw yet sophisticated feel. The glass shelves form the backdrop of the cafe counter. Merchandise related to computers, coffee etc are what makes up the shelves.
Polished concrete with the words Library Cafe embossed into it.
Of course, some people prefer to be alone while whizzing around the internet. There’s always a bar seating for those lone rangers
You must be wondering what those cylindrical glass thingys are. Their what i call Music-Pods. For people who download music, movies, etc and wanna watch them without putting their headphones on and disturbing the crowd, they can do as they please in there. Changing LED lights will definitely set the mood for entertainment!
One more visuals before i say goodbye. Imagine looking down onto the concourse of Pavilion and seeing this. I think it’ll be pretty cool.
Someday perhaps concept will become a reality.
I welcome all feedback on this post. Please comment!
Have a great weekend peeps. Bye!
While i was in Langkawi back in nov-dec 09 for LIMA 2009, during one of those few hours where i actually got some time off, i drove my Singaporean colleagues to the Geopark for the cable car ride.
But when we got there, the strong winds halted the cable car operation till further notice. What a blessing in disguise that was. I saw banners and posters advertising about the Segway. And i’d rather have a go at the Segway Human Transporter than the cable car!
To know what is Segway exactly, click here
It was one of things we used to see in design school. Segway was pretty much the start of Green Transportation. But the way it works is just incredible. Just lean your body anyway and it’ll go where u want. Lean back and it’ll come to halt. An amazing piece of machine. And I got to finally experience it after almost 10 years of looking at the website, movies etc.
On with the pictures and a video at the end. Have fun peeps. Btw, this gadget will cost RM30k to purchase here. Want it? I want one!
I was so happy when i finally saw the Segway. Tired but happi!
The Segways…OMG…
There was One unit specially for trail and beach. Looks meaner and apparently harder to control. didnt get to try it though.
Ahem…my ride is here.
We had a small briefing on how to work the Segway.
Then we all started trying it out. The white Segway’s kinda cool dont ya think?
Segway and hemsum…heh heh.
And off we go!
I couldnt take any pics while riding it cos both hands are needed to steer the Segway especially new riders. After we finished, there were other ppl waiting for their go on it too.
And here’s the video…
