Our branded schwag design for custom Gates Carbon Drive themed tool box stickers proved popular for the professional bicycle industry attendees at Interbike’s Outdoor Demo. Sticker collections are a staple for any proud bicycle mechanic as a showcase of their personal identities within cycling culture. A simple sheet of laser-cut stickers is a very cost effective branded trade show handout to their target bike shop customers – creating a long-lasting memorable brand identification that can be shared throughout the larger cycling community simply as a sticker on mechanic tool boxes, bike shop windows, displays & registers, and car bumpers.

We initially created larger-scale Roodles – larger scale vinyl self-adhessive wall clings – to rebrand the Gates race-trailer into a Gates Carbon Drive theme for the Outdoor Demo held at Northstar Resort. Our Roodle designs included adaptations of mechanic toolbox stickers with a Gates Carbon Drive message twist:

“Ride On” – familiar skull & cross-bones created from Gates Carbon Drive components

“No Greasy Mitts” – Gates Carbon Drive as a clean (no lubrication) system depicting a ‘greasy white hand’ from  black grease drip negative spaces and “NO” created by a red CDX belt profile

“Run HTD” – advanced technology of Gates High Tension Drive belt systems,  influenced by the “Run DMC” logo with red CDX belt profile bands

“Ride GCD” – Gates Carbon Drive brand enforcement influenced by the “Run DMC” logo with blue CDX belt profile brands

“Gates Carbon Drive” – a fun adaptation of the Gates Carbon Drive logo within a blue CDX belt profile – adaptation of the black & white Gates Carbon Drive logo immediately below

Actual tool box stickers as a branded gift deign were a natural next step in our creative process! The Gates Carbon Drive custom schwag design was printed by Sticker Giant (Longmont, Colorado) on a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ sheet.

The Outdoor Demo portfolio showcases our re-branding of the Gates Race Trailer for Interbike’s Outdoor Demo – influencing the custom schwag design of our Tool Box Stickers for Gates Carbon Drive.
