Solsbury
A Mini Cooper with a distinctive signature
Bold black graphics on a red Mini Cooper bring Solsbury's identity onto the road.
The story behind this project
From brand concept to distinctive Mini
A red Mini Cooper already has plenty of character. For Solsbury, we turned that character into a recognisable expression of the brand. Working from a concept supplied by the design agency, our brief was to prepare the vehicle graphics for production and apply them to the car.
Large black shapes, red bodywork and a compact Solsbury wordmark create a confident combination. The car retains its familiar Mini appearance, while the sides and bonnet give the brand a clear presence.
Bold shapes, precise positioning
On a car, a flat design has to work around door gaps, handles, curves and wheel arches. We developed the supplied concept into a working drawing and agreed the positioning before production. That preparation helps the graphics read as one composition across several body panels.
The large black shapes dominate the side profile. A smaller wordmark towards the rear identifies the brand without filling the design with unnecessary information.
Why this approach works
The cut film shapes and the existing paintwork form the design together. Exposed red areas provide contrast with the black graphics, creating a strong visual impact through selective placement.
For vehicle graphics, film selection and application need to suit both the surface and the shape of the bodywork. Preparation and alignment are just as important as the artwork: the way a large graphic meets a door or wheel arch is immediately visible.
A recognisable presence on the road
The finished Mini presents a consistent identity from different viewpoints. From the side profile to the bonnet, the black graphics connect the different parts of the vehicle.
