Seems like the bike is tail-gating the truck. How about making the bike "green" and the truck blue?

Great job - late to the party, but has anyone seen the marketing signs that Charlotte-Mecklenberg does for bicycle awareness? I was down there last weekend and saw these out in a couple different places. The signs are on the following website about halfway down.

I like the page one version and think it's ready to go. I think it's true that the eye has trouble focusing both red and yellow at the same time & the page 2 version just seems harsh to me. I like the colors on page 1 and think it's better to have the bike as close to the truck as it is than to move it back and have to shrink the font of our web url so it would fit.
Great job Aria, haven't met you yet, but I'm looking forward to doing so.

Bicycle Board Members,
Please reply 1 or 2.
1. is the bike superimposed on car graphic that won our vote for best graphic at our March meeting. Attached file, 1.gif shows the graphic. Ignore the words. While we voted for the graphic, the words we wanted were "I share the road with bicycles". 2. is the graphic showing a truck, bicycle and car in a line. See attached file, 2.pdf . If you vote for 1, we'll have to find someone to put it together with the words that we want.
It recently came to my attention that the bike superimposed on car graphic may have fallen through the cracks since our March meeting. I'll report the outcome after we get 8 votes.

I prefer 2. The colors are soft and friendly, the image is lively and to me better conveys the idea that we're all in this together. Butch

Stalled.
Thanks to Betsy, gunnar, Marilyn, Butch, Hugh and Chip for voting 1 or 2.
Unfortunately, we need at least 8 votes to have a quorum. We won't have bumper stickers to distribute at this weekend's Appalachian Spring Spectacular. Perhaps we can have them for the May 8 WVU Employee Fest if some more of you vote.

Bicycle Board Members,
As of today, the votes are 9 to 1 in favor of Aira's design. gunnar, Butch and Marilyn submitted comments. gunnar thought the bike was tailgating the truck and that the cyclist should be green and the truck blue. Butch liked the colors and thought it's better to have the bike as close to the truck as it is than to move it back and have to shrink the font of our web url so it would fit. Marilyn thought there were too many colors but didn't say what to change. Therefore, I'm suggesting we go with it as is. I want to ask Jeff Mikorski to order 500 of them in the same size as our last bumper stickers.
Now, Betsy suggested that we have a smaller size. What size should that be?

I still find the bike to be tailgating the truck.
But if this either isn't a large enough concern or others don't see it this way then I will stay quiet. Another option would be to put the car in front, have bikemorgantown.comover it, the bike a nice distance behind it, and then the truck.

Gunnar's right, the cyclist does appear to be tailgating. On second look I realize the cyclist is relatively way too large- why not make the cyclist slightly smaller so it would fit midway between the truck and car?

Ya, I was going to suggest the same. Shrink the bike to a more scaled proportion to the car, and the text will fit over the cyclist's head.
Blue truck, green bike makes a little more symbolism too.
