Logo & Mural Design for Donford BMW Motorrad

I remember my dad and I sitting in the kitchen in 2014 with a giant permanent marker chatting logo ideas for the new Donford Motorrad branding. He was talking to me about bikes and what was unique about the ones BMW made and we landed on the signature tappet cover that inspired the shape for the Donford logo. It took a whole 10 minutes and there it was.

At that stage I was busy with my first year of studies and completely uninterested in digital design programs so I didn’t even know how to vectorise what I’d created. I had some help doing that part from the agency BMW was working with at the time, they were very kind and patient with me and helped me refine it while still keeping it mine.

It was very special to be there 8 years later in the busiest season I’d had in my career so far, revisiting my first ever logo design and having the privilege of being able to paint it on the walls of the newly renovated Donford Motorrad Stellenbosch.

I’m so proud of and inspired by my dad and his team and so grateful to have been able to be part of what he does in this way. He’s taught me everything I know about work ethic and resilience and him and my beautiful family have been Not Anderson’s greatest support system from the very beginning.
