VO Posters Arrive


The first two VO posters, "Enjoy Life" and "Orange Bike", are now available. Both poster were created by graphic artist Dylan Hale. They are printed on 80-pound Cougar Natural paper using the spot color process. (Note, the black border is the background, not part of the poster) The size is 18 x 24-inches. Posters are shipped rolled in a mailing tube.

The posters are $12.50.  But, this week, if you add a poster to an order totaling over $150, the poster will be free. The free poster deal ends midnight on Sunday, March 6.

VO dealers and shops can get a free set of posters with wholesale orders, just ask.

BTW, would either of these images look good on a t-shirt?

Nice posters. But my favorite posters/items don't have a brand name or logo on them – same goes for these…

If there were "Enjoy Life" tshirts in the store, I'd probably pick one up next time I make an order.

i'd spring for a shirt.

Any chance we'll see some dynamo-hubs this week? I'd certainly throw a couple posters in with that order.

The top one would make a fantastic shirt! I'd order one in a heartbeat. Please don't cheap out on the material though. Good quality organic cotton is a must.

great posters!!!! i want one...

id buy t-shirts with either logo. they look great.

and cycling caps too. so long as they are old style, and not the Pace style, that has the elastic headband...

and socks...

They look great. Nice job!

I'm not a big t-shirt guy but these logos would spiff up a plain old water bottle for sure.

I would buy the first one on a t-shirt immediately.

Doug said...

I love the second one. Put me down for one in a size LG.

T-shirt? Yes, they'd look nice, but I hate white t-shirts.

A water bottle would be nice, too. Any chance of getting these printed on a stainless steel bottle?

Here's to wishing that the 50.4 BCD cranks arrive this week. :)

Lovely posters! 'Enyoy Life' would make a crackin' Tshirt for sure. Also agree with Thomas C - water bottles a good idea.

Antoine said...

Very nice ! A suggestion for the next run : french typography of a title capitalizes only the first word as in « Beaux vĂ©los et accessoires »

Anon 2/28 - 11:49 - Are you saying you do not like the Toulouse-Lautrec series of posters which were advertisements for the Moulin-Rouge?

Justine Valinotti said...

T-shirt, water bottle, cap, jersey(!), musette bag: Those designs would look good on a lot of things. They might even be nice on an underseat bag or tool roll.

Justin said...

I would love to see either print on a T-shirt. High quality cotton, please. Not white, but a natural un-dyed or grey would look nice.

Matthew said...

German and Chinese, but no Italian?

The designs would look good on shirts without all the text -- just image and logo.

I don't suppose you could make a derailleur recommendation for the 50.4 cranks?

tomp said...

Not a recommendation, but IRD said their standard compact double derailleur would work with the 50.4 crankset.

My question, does two $150 orders get you both posters? What about a $300 order? I want the whole series!

Velo Orange said...

Tomp, do to technical limitations our system can only do one free poster on any amount over $150. But if you add a comment saying you'd like a second on a $300 order, the packing crew will add it.

The French guy on the bike would make a great T-shirt and I'd buy one - especially if it weren't pure white (too many already). I agree with another poster, it would be even cooler without the text.

Both posters are very cool and would look great on a t-shirt - especially the French guy poster. I would love one!

Jonathan Studiman said...

FYI for Velo Orange staff, I have the top poster, framed. It's an inexpensive and lovely design, but after 1 year in the frame the paper is rather wrinkled and doesn't look nearly as crisp as other prints of similar size I have.

I would recommend future print runs of these posters be printed on heavier paper.

happy cycling!
