Sell the badge

Piper marketing wanted the wordmark to be the first thing the eye locks to. The light shape was designed around the badge first, the body second.

02 · Light shape

Single slashed source

A 12-by-2 strip rigged at a steep raking angle. Length picked so the falloff lands exactly at the prop hub, not past it.

03 · Color

Warm metal, cool air

The aluminum reads warm under the key; the negative space holds a 5800K cool to keep the badge feeling like the center of the temperature.
