...I need some help. I need a bigger copy of this logo from Freewheel Bicycle Shop in SF. I have been searching google with no luck. It was mentioned in a different thread that it was designed by Chris Wright. Does anyone have info on that designer. Maybe a website? Google came up with a website for the shop but it doesn't work. I guess my next step will be to call San Francisco and ask the shop. That just seems like a wierd reason to call and bug a shop. If you can help I will be your best friend.

really though, the best source for the logo is to call the shop...
i'm trying to find a sticker from the shop, that i can scan and post/email. will do if i find it. you probably won't find the image online anywhere, it's a pretty new logo.

kennethalan

Do they sell a shirt with that logo on it?

dubteka

yup. i could possibly scan that. but the quality wouldn't be so hot....

kennethalan

The image I posted appears to be on a shirt. I would like to have higher quality than that if possible.

What do you need the logo for? You should ask the shop permission to use it... not a dumb reason to call at all! If i was the shop or the artist that created the logo i would not want people using it without permission.

I'm just using it as some inspiration for a tattoo design. A starting example of what I want designed. I just really love the logo.

kennethalan

I bet the artist would be flattered.

it looks a lot like something mike giant would do, but a lot less intricate. he actually does tattoo work as well. worth checking out www.mikegiant.com

I would say this logo is a GIANT rip-off, forshizzle.

dubteka

Giant is a good call on this piece. he seems down with bikes, looking at some of his work?

kennethalan

I agree.

With a title like this I had to look at this thread...

I'm both a design nerd and bike nerd and live in San Francisco
and am in walking distance to Freewheel on Hayes.
Yeah, the shirts are awesome. I have a few stickers,
one of which I faux "die-cut" and put on my frame. So sweet!
The vinyl sticker scans nicely, maybe try and get one of those.

But call the guys at Freewheel on Hayes, I'm sure they can
help you out, just be honest with your intentions. They're the
best shop I've ever been to.

Thanks everyone. Dubteka is going to help me out.

yeah giant is really into fixed gears. there's a pretty cool interview with him on this video project that urban playground put out. It's definitely worth seeing, but definitely not worth buying. There's also a good interview with grey, but thats about it.

Giant does great work! I have a tattoo by him. Chris did the graphic for Freewheel (the best shopr ever) and here is a link to good version of the freewheel skull.

There is a ton of bike porn in that gallery. A lot of users from this forum are featured.

i think this mike giant takes a big bite out of charles burns' work.
