Happiness Machiness
Brand identity for bike community and shop based in New York, US.
EN
We decided to mix two elements representative of the brand: a bicycle wheel and a flower. The wheel will connect with the world of cycling, its strength and dynamism. With the flower drawn in this way, we will indirectly connect with the hippie movement, with its ideas of peace and love, and a very strong sense of union and community. Thinking about hippism, we can also think about freedom to express ourself and accept others without judgment. In this way we will move away from the serious and, sometimes, intimidating aesthetic that bicycle and sports brands can have, inviting and encouraging new cyclists to be part of it.

Con la flor nos conectaremos indirectamente con el movimiento hippie, con sus ideas de paz y amor, y un sentido muy fuerte de unión y comunidad. Pensando en el hippismo, también podemos pensar en la libertad de expresarnos y aceptar a los demás sin juzgarnos. De esta forma nos alejaremos de la estética seria y, en ocasiones, intimidante que pueden tener las marcas deportivas, invitando y animando a nuevos ciclistas a formar parte de ella.
