If you’re already here on OMX’s website, it’s clear that you’ll agree on one thing – style matters. In other words, the more unique, the better! That’s why many of our customers choose to create their own custom motocross graphics design that reflects their personalities and lets their vibe shine. However, coming up with a dope design can be quite challenging (trust us, we’ve been there). So where should you look for inspiration for a pattern or color scheme that shows your taste? Think of this blog post as a cheat sheet of all the sources from which we also get inspiration for our smashing designs.
Look to Pro Riders
This is one of the most popular options that our customers love and we fully support that. Finding the inspiration by studying the bikes of professional riders can be a truly great idea. These athletes often have some of the most eye-catching and innovative designs on the track. Therefore, they can be a great source of inspiration. And by that we don’t mean copying the design 1:1 as we wouldn’t even be up for that. Instead, pay attention to color schemes, patterns, and graphic elements that catch your eye. That can be a great starting point for your own design.
Explore Graphic Design Trends
Another great idea is to explore current graphic design trends. So what’s hot right now? In short, everything that ticks with you. Minimalist geometric patterns, bold and vibrant color schemes, and so on – options are truly endless. Therefore, browse design blogs, magazines, and social media platforms to discover the latest trends and techniques in graphic design. Don’t be afraid to mix and match different styles to create a look that’s uniquely yours.
Get into the Wild
Nature has been a rich source of inspiration for artists and designers for centuries. Take a hike through the woods, spend a day at the beach, or simply step outside and soak in the beauty of the world around you. Pay attention to the colors, textures, and patterns you encounter. Consider how to include them into your motocross graphics design. Just an idea – check the rugged texture of tree bark, consider the vibrant hues of a sunset, or explore the intricate patterns of a seashell. These are just some of the examples of how nature offers endless inspiration for creative design ideas.
Explore the World of Comic Books and Superheroes
Comic books are like a treasure box of vibrant visuals and dynamic characters. Therefore, they are an excellent source of inspiration for motocross graphics design as well. You can go the classic way and choose well-known superheroes like Superman and Batman. Or on the other hand, you can prefer the edgier characters of modern comics. This style is characterised by bold, comic book-style typography, dynamic action scenes, and iconic symbols and logos. If you decide to go this way and choose comic book-inspired stylistics, your bike will look absolutely dope.
Get Inspiration From Your FAVOURITE Bands
Music and motocross have always gone hand in hand. Therefore, drawing an inspiration from your favorite rock bands is an awesome idea. Even more, although rock bands usually have a very distinct visual identity, you can go even further. For example, by choosing a rap artist or a band as well. Just imagine how dope the band logo of Wu-Tang Clan would look on a dirt bike? We’re sold on this idea!
Show Your Team Spirit
We love when our customers do sports team-inspired custom motocross graphics designs. Basically every sports team on the planet has a unique visual identity. And if you’re a strong fan of the team, having their identity on your dirt bike shows your dedication and who actually runs the field or course. Not to mention, the options here are endless. Just think of football, basketball, soccer or any other sport you love and you’ll see that there’s no shortage of iconic logos and colors. A true playground for sports fans!
