Annual Head-Badge Poster Update

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

Had some time to update the poster, and made a number of changes to keep things interesting. Hope you all like it.

1. Highlighted the very first Rivendell badge (cast pewter) front and center and larger than life.
2. Swapped in a new version of the Riv badge in purple at the top left - I had not seen this one before. I like it!
3. Brought back the Heron badge. I LOVE it! 
4. Swapped in a different version of the Roadeo badge - this time in blue.  
5. Added the latest badge: the "Roaduno" even though it's not being sold yet. 
6. Enlarged the entire poster to 18X24 to accommodate all the badges. Frames are standard for this size print. 

I keep thinking this will be the last update,  but if RIvendell continues to add new models I'm duty bound to plug ahead. 

As always, here's the link to the hi-res file on Flickr. Download and print to your heart's content! Enjoy the holiday season and every ride throughout the year!

super cool.  has anyone found a place that would make a nice print of this?  for IRL sharing?

[brizbarn]

That is really cool Marty,  great layout!  Generous of you to share a big file for printing.  Does the same artist do all of the Riv head tube badges?  They are all great, I especially love any with color.  Was Heron a different company? that one is a stand out.   

Minh, with the large flickr file, a number of online photo or art printers could do it no problem, such as bayphoto.com.  There are plenty more out there as well.

Badges have been done by different artists over the years, I have no idea if there is any way to ID who did what - Grant would know. I've had good luck printing at Walgreens in the past. Bring the file on a thumb drive or set it up on line. The Hi Res full size print is large - it's 300dpi - so plan accordingly. 

Heron was a bit of an outlier - yes a different company but a big dose of the DNA of Rivendell at the time was baked in. Later on, SOMA also built bikes that were advised/designed by Grant, but not quite the same thing. Early in the poster series Grant mentioned Heron belonged, but SOMA not so much.

Marty, this is beautiful and an incredible design effort. Thanks so much. It’s lovely to see them laid out like that.

Excellent work.  Thank you for sharing.

Great work, Marty. Thanks for sharing this with us. That's a nice big file, too, great for printing at home with my Epson large format printer on nice Hahnemuhle cotton rag paper :) 

The most recent badges are done by Olivier Chételat, you can find the OC initials hidden in all of his designs. He posts here from time to time. I believe he also designed (or at least contributed heavily to) the 2014 Riv catalog which is one of my favorites.

Magnificent!

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

Over 350 views in just a few days - seems to be a popular version! I can't see how many downloads, but I suspect quite a few. That's great. If and when you print and frame it, I would love to see that. I think there was a thread a while back where people showed off their bike posters and the rooms they live in. Mine are kind of on hiatus after some room rearranging, but I have plans to get them all back up before long. Better frame the Rivendell felt pennant I have hanging in the workshop before the mice find it. Note the phrase at the top: "Every Frame Lugged".

I would like to frame a print and mounted on my wall. Any suggestion on material to print to and what is maximum size?

Would also appreciate if someone can recommend a local San Diego printer

Climbing past 2,300 views now - a new record for these updates! Glad you all like it. Beginning to think about something new. Open to ideas from the bunch as to what kind of Riv-related poster (or calendar?) you might like to see. I've done one of the bike models before, but it was difficult to find good hi-res photos of all the bikes. No promise that I'll do something in the near future, but when the mood strikes I want to have some ideas in mind that this group would appreciate.

THANKS!! this is super rad. I am going to print and frame for sure. 

NOT AN AD - I used these dudes MPIX all the time for a one off nice print, they have all kinda formats. I am going to use the Giclee print

I would be down for a calendar, I just made a 26" mountain bike calendar with a pal and the interest has been good for a Bike calendar.  

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

Hit a major milestone today: 10,000 views! Not sure why this one caught on, but it must have been shared somewhere on the web to reach a much larger audience. Now, I gotta print and frame one for myself.
