Baltimore Powered Bicycles

This was a little logo done for a motorized bike company here in Baltimore. The owner wanted something "steampunk" while still showing essentially what the bikes actually are.

While working on these, I was looking at a lot of vintage auto ads, Russian propagada posters, and various art deco stuff. Initially I had missed the mark by interpreting it as slightly more of a dirt-bike type deal, but eventually got it to where the client wanted.
