TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

[wyliepoon]

Here's my submission to the design contest...

Notes:

1. Yes, I did mean to put down "Toronto Transportation Commission" on my streetcar design - it's a design element I borrowed from the old TTC Peter Witt streetcars.
2. Outlines of TTC's iconic logo can be seen on the front and the rear of the vehicle
3. I'm trying to do a modern version of the "maroon and cream" colour scheme of the TTC of old. Instead of cream, however, I want to use a colour like light gold or champagne.

Creative idea, but the word that comes to my mind is: overbranding.

I have to agree, although I can see it as special occasion colour scheme / wrap.

 

[MileHigh]

I use Photoshop. Nothing fancy really.

I call this one the Plain Jane. Plain but does the job of looking cool.

I like this... can the grey be white or something other than grey?

Cover each one with ads....and reap the revenue.

You forgot the BLUE handicap accessible corner lights. as well as blue lights next to the double doors to indicator where the fold up seats are.

The overhead advance light in front should be GREEN, like the old PCC streetcars.

You forgot the BLUE handicap accessible corner lights ...

Just what is the point of these?

 

[Darwinkgo]

Weren't the advance lights different for every route way back? Which could be done easily with LEDs.

May I inquire as to what feature in photoshop you guys are using to keep the details, but still colour it in?

 

[Agram]

Nice designs but you have to keep it simple, the simpler the better. These cars have to be painted every 10 years and that takes a lot of paint and man hours [sorry ladies]. If you look at the buses there are only 3 colours...red,black and white......the light gray has been left out. By not using the gray a lot of money has been saved.

 

[Jayomatic]

Try filling a separate layer in a colour and then switich the layer style to multiply or colour. Both work alright.

Here were some of my takes.

I like the all-red colour.

I like the all-red colour.

Me too, but remember that the TTC will soon have all the new cars covered in ads so the colour and design are hidden. I know it raises $$$ but .....

 

[Justin10000]

I do not think every streetcar will be covered in ads. I have only seen a few streetcars wrapped, and I am sure the TTC would want to show off the new cars for a while.

Did they specify how many carriages would be on the Transit City lines as opposed to the regular streetcar routes?
