Austro-Daimler A-D TT graphics

Frame and Wheel provides the graphics for the Austro-Daimler A-D TT frame below. The graphics were produced by Todd Silva at Bob the Screen Printer.  The idea of emphasizing the logo was a result of the down tube's unusual shape; the narrower section at the top end of the down tube clutters up any kind of lettering and makes things awkward to the eye.
This version positions the logo onto the frame in such a way that the A and the D are still recognizable, and so that the arrow is still seen. It also captures the bow and utilizes the blue and gold of the logo. There is no lettering on the chain stays or seat stays as lettering there just cluttered things up. 

This version positions the logo on the down tube only and captures the hyphen.  This version allows for the frame's color to come through more and allows for lettering on the seat and chain stays.
