~ Successes ~

The six page booklet was designed to push the proposed branding of the VEO name, color scheme & logo. It was printed vertically (5" wide by 9" tall spiral bound book) with the intent to stand out from traditional sized printed materials. Design and typography were used to present the idea of a bike sharing program as a hip and modern method of inner city travel; an understably cool 'single speed' feel that will appeal to 25-45 year old business men & women.
