In years to come we will look back at the chrome cars and the blue ones with yellow noses in various F1 history books and clearly pick out the Mclaren and RedBull, in the same way we look at history books and know a white and red chevron is most likely a Mclaren, and the blue and yellow is a Williams from the 80s and 90s.</p> <p>Teams that are constantly changing their livery get lost in historic pictures, but those who don’t change build a strong image that sticks in the mind. RedBull are doing that, Mclaren and Ferrari are doing it and Force India are getting into it now with 3 years of Indian Flag livery.</p> </div> <div class="comment-options"> </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment byuser comment-author-soundscape even depth-5" id="comment-946586"> <div class="comment-avatar-box"> <div class="avb"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120627073554/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/members/soundscape/" rel="nofollow"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120627073554im_/http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/8fb93fc4145069ff8b942fc165e3852e?d=http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/images/mystery-man.jpg&s=25" alt="Avatar Image" class="avatar user-39124-avatar" width="25" height="25" title="soundscape"/> </a> </div> </div> <div class="comment-content"> <div class="comment-meta"> <p> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120627073554/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/members/soundscape/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">soundscape</a> (@soundscape) said on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120627073554/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/02/06/red-bull-rb8-launch-pictures-red-bulls-2012-f1-car/comment-page-1/#comment-946586"><span class="time-since">7th February 2012, 1:58</span></a> </p> </div> <div class="comment-entry"> <p>Calum: COTD.</p> </div> <div class="comment-options"> </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment byuser comment-author-joey-poey odd alt depth-5" id="comment-946597"> <div class="comment-avatar-box"> <div class="avb"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120627073554/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/members/joey-poey/" rel="nofollow"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120627073554im_/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/avatars/19756/cb56670ab44f0dd0117c22f354390c81-bpthumb.jpg" alt="Avatar Image" class="avatar user-19756-avatar" width="25" height="25" title="Joey-Poey"/> </a> </div> </div> <div class="comment-content"> <div class="comment-meta"> <p> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120627073554/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/members/joey-poey/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">Joey-Poey</a> (@joey-poey) said on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120627073554/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/02/06/red-bull-rb8-launch-pictures-red-bulls-2012-f1-car/comment-page-1/#comment-946597"><span class="time-since">7th February 2012, 2:26</span></a> </p> </div> <div class="comment-entry"> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120627073554/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/members/calum/" rel="nofollow">@Calum</a> I agree on brand identity and teams building that over time. However, I don’t see it as busy in an energetic way. Rather, it comes across like the side of a car in NASCAR, instead. Text and logos attacking your eyes without leading them around in a way that incorporates good composition and the flow of the lines in the car. Energetic can do that without words and brands slapped on there like a bunch of stickers.</p> </div> <div class="comment-options"> </div> </div> </li> </ul> </li> <li class="comment even depth-4"
