Red Bull



Last summer, we were commissioned by Red Bull to do some character designs. With the view to doing a variation on the original Red Bull logo for the use with young generation athletes (Rookie Bulls). Well, and here is the fruit.
They (RB) really liked it. In this context, I was doing a lot of different bull characters, fathoming the right look. Some of them were really just for play. As you can see with this sample:



The Retro-Futurism Space Bull (he would fit in nicely to the Supertaft Bear team)
