Reminds me of those eBay graphics "AMR Racing". They're very patriotic, but, there's just something about this rendering that looks "cheap". I'll wait til I see it on an actual bike though.

A bit hard to tell just yet. I'm not digging the square edge of the black Yamalube box. Doesn't fit in with anything. Has potential overall. Can't wait to see the final bikes.

Not feeling it. The waving flag makes it looks like a hot dog stand.

You mean the same square edge of the black Yamalube box that they've been using all season? Okay. Wink

Yes, that one. If they have been using it all season I thought they would change it up for MXDN. Just needs to flow a bit more is all.

Overall they look great. 9/10. Just change the Yamalube square box and it will be 10/10.

Come on GuyB, make it happen!

Thankfully, I don't design graphics...other than the occasional Photoshop thing. Wink

Is there a template everyone uses to make these? I would love to find a way to get my hands on it.

The flag looks like an afterthought, graphics for Team USA should have USA as the dominant element. This looks like the sponsor logos were placed and the clip art graphics worked around it. JMarts graphics from last year while not the greatest ever were 100 times better.

Not bad. It's really hard incorporate an american flag into graphics and make them look good on the bike. I think the best way to do the USA theme is start with white plastics. I think they did a decent job with these tomac graphics on the Honda:

For anyone hating on the graphics above show us some examples of what you believe is a better design.

I think they should run pretty much their normal graphics and have the Stars and Stripes on the rear number boards. Maybe leave the stars on the rad shroud. This is a bit too busy for me and the USA writing looks a bit odd there

Even though I'm canadian, I always root for you yanks to win (unless we clone 3 dean Wilson's in Canada, we will never stand a chance at a win). Bike looks great, not a easy task to incorporate the sponsors with an American theme!

The normal Star graphics are available already.

Not sure they will release the MXoN ones.

So, it's called "STAR Racing" right? Figured STAR Racing would do a little more with the whole "STARS and stripes" theme, but hey, what do I know?!
