Before we all go and binge-watch 'Drive to Survive', let's look at some designs of this week.
MotoGP's Bespoke Typeface
MotoGP has revealed a custom typeface created by the design team at Fontsmith (now part of the Monotype Studio). More information can be found here: motogp.com/en/news/2020/02/26/new-custom-typeface-for-motogp/325981
Here's a sentence I never thought I'd write... MotoGP now has its own font! pic.twitter.com/9NDmK2m1b7

McLaren's Balaclavas
F1 is about innovation at all but McLaren showed us something we really haven't seen before: designed balaclavas. We can't wait to see all your "Retro Liveries as Balaclavas" concepts.
Now this is something we havenβt seen before, sponsor design elements on the balaclava - in addition to the standard logo. Pretty cool! pic.twitter.com/8E6V5JTx18

Camo Pattern Helmets
Camo patterns seem quite a trend after Red Bull has been rocking them for the last few F1 test days. Both Lando Norris and Dan Ticktum have been or will be rocking some this year.
Lando's got a special camo helmet for testing, very nice! @TeamL4NDO@mdm_designs @KVDesign_helmet pic.twitter.com/9mx9c6Dea6

Rinaldi Racing's GT World Challenge Europe Livery
Andy Werner has designed a pretty cool livery for Rinaldi Racing's GT World Challenge Europe campaign. (GT World Challenge Europe is a funny name by the way. Might've as well called that GT Europe Challenge. Just saying.)

PJ Tierney's Wallpaper Tutorial
PJ Tierney has created some pretty cool 'pocket liveries' β as he calls them β in the past. They're basically wallpapers for your phone that depict simplified versions of liveries. This week, he has also uploaded a video tutorial on how the Haas one came together.
Hi everyone, just put up a new video π
