意大利摩托车工业以其无与伦比的美观和可靠性在世界摩托车制造商中脱颖而出。这个国家创造了许多品牌,后来变得家喻户晓,其特点是全球对产品的需求最高杜卡迪。或MV阿古斯塔、古兹或意大利摩托Srl,摩托古兹和贝内利是一些意大利制造商,他们的名字甚至对那些远离摩托车的人来说也很熟悉。大多数意大利品牌已经成为这一生产领域的世界传奇。意大利不仅仅是一个阳光明媚的国家,有着独特的气候和友好、好客的人民。这个国家是许多杰出的设计师、工程师、摩托车手和机械师的故乡。这些人是意大利摩托车成功发展和流行的基础。
什么是意大利摩托车品牌?
意大利摩托车品牌是世界市场的领导者。其中有相当著名的名字:贝内利、摩托古兹、伊塔尔杰特摩托Srl、MV阿古斯特、杜卡迪。但也有一些不太受欢迎的公司被遗忘了:凯西、Autozodiaco、Cagiva等等。
今天,该国的摩托车生产是影响该国经济的重要领域之一。与其他欧洲制造商在这一领域让位于日本、中国甚至印度品牌不同,意大利摩托车行业目前继续发展并显示出良好的加速势头。仅在2021年一月至6月期间,就售出了超过14万辆各种类型的摩托车,大大超过了过去十年的数字。
凯西
凯西品牌并没有成为意大利摩托车行业的"长肝"。它只存在了四年——从1923年到1927年。他因生产独特的摩托车和他自己生产的发电厂而出名。1927年公司创始人的不幸去世导致了所有生产的停止和公司活动的终止106.DKW从凯西创始人的亲戚那里购买了制作和公司本身的权利106.DKW将获得的技术,经过一些修改,应用于其品牌的摩托车上。
公司的标志是圆形的。圆形被选为无限、统一和循环的象征,意味着运动的节奏和恒常性,这是意大利品牌凯西的原则。标志的内部空间由几个圆圈组成。内圈用红色填充,作为火运动和动作的象征。红色是强调色;它与带有品牌名称的较小白色圆圈形成对比。名字是原版的,黑色的。高度和侧面的字母重复了圆圈的形状,形成了圆圈的组成部分。
阿迪瓦
阿迪瓦是一家成立于1994年的公司,是摩托车行业中一个年轻但有前途的意大利品牌。2轮和3轮城市滑板车的系列生产始于2001年,早在2008年,他们的AD3车型就在米兰举行的EICMA展会上获得了荣誉奖项。该模型的特点是增加了机动性和稳定性,这对城市条件很重要。原始底盘设计确保了这一点,它在前轮处提供了两个车轮,在后轮处提供了一个车轮。该品牌的所有型号都配备了可伸缩的防风雨车顶。公司总部位于米兰,在马来西亚和台湾设有生产基地。配送中心在日本、中国和香港开放。
进入市场的愿望得到了公司雄心的支持,公司非常注重形成自己独特的风格。它基于创新、现代设计和热情。这三个组成部分反映在阿迪瓦标志中,该标志塑造了完整、卓越、安全和多功能的视觉感受,是整个意大利品牌系列的特征。从视觉上看,会徽代表了一个体积膨胀的圆。圆有一个更低的部分,上面有一个箭头形状的元素,其顶点指向中心。该标志代表了一个与叉子相连的轮子的程式化图像。这一元素补充了这一构成的视觉感知,同时形成了字母"A"的轮廓,这是品牌名称的第一个字母。
阿尔马基
阿尔马基摩托车品牌的历史始于1912年,其创始人来自瓦雷泽的朱利奥马基成立了纽波特-马基公司,该公司后来成为意大利的飞机工业中心。该公司开始处理第一次世界大战期间广泛用于空战的飞机。在战争期间,它被重新命名为马基航空公司,继续朝着这个方向快速发展。战后,该公司重新专注于三轮卡车和摩托车的生产。他们在阿尔马基品牌下的生产一直持续到1978年。虽然这个品牌早在1960年就被哈雷戴维森收购了,但新的所有者保留了原来的品牌,然后采用了一个双重名称。1978年,哈雷戴维森删除了对老品牌的引用。
公司标志仍然致力于品牌发展的历史。它由品牌名称的每个单词的前两个字母组成,一个组合到另一个中,字母"M"的下行上行形成字母"a"的横条。在右侧和左侧有两个三角形的伸展的翅膀,其顶部上升到顶部。字母和阿尔马基品牌名称均采用Arial标准黑色字体。
阿格拉蒂加雷利
19世纪末,蒙蒂塞洛布里安扎教堂的安东尼奥阿格拉提开了一家铁匠铺。20世纪初使其对公司产品的需求发生了变化。这位创始人将其传承给他的儿子克洛德沃、路易吉和马里奥,生产广受欢迎的电动机和自行车零件。三人的惨死导致了16岁的卡洛阿格拉提继位。1958年,该公司完全重新专注于电动自行车,同时推出了第一款卡普里岛踏板车卡普里岛。的发布引发了小型摩托车和轻便摩托车的全面生产100.阿格拉提。商标作为一个独立的品牌一直存在到1991年,它与加雷利合并,在拉基亚雷拉设有办事处。所有的摩托车型号都有了一个新名字——阿格阿提加雷利.
会徽呈圆形,是大多数意大利摩托车品牌的传统,象征着无限、团结和循环。在圆圈的中间刻着黑色的字母“G”,在圆圈的内侧。它内部的自由空间充满了茜素红,与黑色形成对比。这种非彩色黑色和红色(调色板中的主色)的组合对一个人具有强烈的视觉冲击,吸引眼球并吸引注意力。品牌名称采用加雷利字体,位于会徽底部。
Aprilia
如今,Aprilia不仅在意大利家喻户晓,而且享誉全球Aprilia。现在是全球第四大工业集团比亚乔的一部分,该集团生产两轮机动车,于1945年在威尼斯人的诺埃尔阿尔贝托贝吉奥成立,生产自行车。这个品牌名是向创始人钟爱的蓝旗亚阿普里尔汽车模型致敬。1960年标志着第一个运动Uomo助力车的发布。1968年,公司的所有权转移到创始人的儿子伊万诺贝吉奥手中,他开始生产助力车,因此市场上同时出现了三种车型:科利布日、丹妮拉和帕奇以及第一辆意大利越野车斯卡拉比奥.今天罗伯特柯拉宁诺的总裁兼首席执行官是比亚乔的总裁。
该公司的标志是一个生动的例子,能够正确地推广你的品牌。它简单而简洁——没有额外的东西来分散注意力。会徽是公司的名称,用拉丁大写字母表示。一个重要的口音是红色背景,选择红色是为了联想到许多忍受二战苦难的人的悲痛和悲伤。红色是男子气概和刚毅的象征,这也是该品牌创始人和公司精神的特征。用于刻字的字体是新哈斯格罗特斯克显示65中等.
Aeromere
二战结束后,战胜国禁止轴心国维持军事装备的生产。这也影响到在特伦托从事战斗机制造的卡普罗尼集团。该公司于1910年由工程师詹尼卡普罗尼成立,开始生产当时并不存在的同类重型轰炸机。甚至美国在1918年的空军中也使用了它们。第二次世界大战后卡普罗尼决定开始以卡普里奥洛品牌生产一款轻型摩托车——这是其新摩托车的品牌。创始人于1957年去世,导致该公司彻底更名。它有了一个新的名字——aeromere,和一个新的标志。该公司在生产摩托车的同时还生产轻型飞机和滑翔机。1964年,该公司被拉维达集团收购。
该公司的标志被用于其生产的摩托车上,非常准确地反映了其创始人的精神和希望。一只小鹿被描绘在一面倾斜的纹章盾牌上,这也是这个品牌的名字。盾牌被对角地分成两部分。上半部分是黑色的框架,红色的火焰被描绘在其中。在盾牌的下半部分——右边——有一个白色拉丁字母“C”(品牌名称的第一个字母),在它的下面,用小字写着创始人的名字和卡普罗尼特伦托企业的所在地。左边是一只鹿的形象。
自动黄道带
1968年,博洛尼亚开始生产童车自动黄道带品牌仅存在了13年,在此期间,它设法为意大利摩托车行业做出了自己的微薄贡献。70年代中期,该公司推出了MotoZodiaco图阿雷格人摩托车。它的重要区别是没有发电机,而是通过电线进行机械启动。为了确保越野能力,它使用了大型充气轮胎。1978年,该公司不复存在。
公司的徽章是一个圆形标志,圆圈由黑白方格组成。圆弧的下半部分是自动黄道带品牌的名称。在黑色的场地里,有一行红色拉丁字体的题字——所有汽车,靠在黑白方格上。文本在第一个字母前用红色细线加下划线,比字体的其余部分稍大。在标志旁边,有一个品牌的文字名称,以膨胀的"卡通"字体执行,作为充气摩托车车轮的象征。这种字体在黑色背景下看起来特别吸引人,令人难忘。这些字母一个接一个地跑,就好像想要超过下一个,这给了这个标志一些快乐和吸引力。
贝内利
1911年,意大利品牌贝内利创立。公司外观颇具原创性。该品牌的创始人是一位女性,是六个孩子的母亲,她教孩子们如何修理自行车来帮助谋生。注意到对电动自行车日益增长的需求,该公司于1919年开发了自行车发动机。接下来是生产用于体育比赛的摩托车,兄弟俩开始参与其中。他们在1938年的成功演出使得前三个模型特别受欢迎。2005年,该公司破产,被中国企业钱江集团收购。该公司在中国生产贝内利品牌的新产品,生产亚洲需求旺盛的轻型、小型摩托车和踏板车。
今天的贝内利标志看起来更"中国"。向20世纪中期公司标志的历史形式和一些元素特征致敬,外观发生了重大变化。会徽是一个立体的银圈。围绕圆周的内部领域被深绿色饱和颜色的月桂花环占据。下半部分是一只白狮用三条腿站立,右前抬起,表示警告。在它的上方,用黑色字体写着品牌名称——贝内利,在它的上方以三角形的形式放置了三颗五角星。
贝塔马达
贝塔品牌可以追溯到1904年,当时名为朱塞佩比安奇公司,专门生产自行车。逐渐扩大和引进新类型的产品,该公司在1940年进行了一次完整的生产设备的现代化设备,并将其名称改为贝塔。它由创始人的儿子恩佐比安奇和父亲阿里戈托西的首字母组成再见,托西是该企业的首席工程师。该品牌于1948年发布了第一辆电动自行车。向摩托车的过渡发生在1950年,当时推出了第一辆成熟的摩托车意大利语.该品牌的产品在越野比赛中表现出色。其用于摩托车试验的模型为公司带来了声誉。
该公司的最新更名导致了标志的重新设计,使其更适合新一代用户的现代展示和感知条件。标志是一个红色的长方形,象征着成功和一致性,前进和必要的复兴。在矩形的中心,有一个向上倾斜放置的厚度不均匀的白色椭圆形图像。椭圆形展示了运动,并传达了高速行驶的车轮的视觉感受。字母"B"被描绘在椭圆形内部,其形状和方向同时增强了速度和加速度的视觉感。所有这些标志都有一条意大利国旗颜色的条纹。下面是贝塔汽车品牌的全称“马达”这个词是小字,位于第一个词的正下方。黑色和红色的组合,用白色稀释,提供了视觉上非常有效的对比。红色成为强调色,黑色和白色形成确定性,展示意志和平衡。
博里莱
1988年,来自威尼斯的翁贝托博里莱创立了博里莱品牌,开始涉足意大利摩托车行业。这家企业很小,不能夸耀它的连续生产。也只有在1997年,博瑞尔B500T才给公司带来名声和名气。两年内,两种独特的车型征服了世界B500CR咖啡赛车和B500MT公吨摩托车。但是最畅销的型号是博里莱穆蒂乌索.这家小型制造商的年销售量超过50台,可以根据特定客户的需求进行定制。
公司标志展示了一个明显的品牌身份。翠绿色椭圆包含白色拉丁字体的品牌名称。名字的每个字母都有一个翠绿色的边框。以小写字母执行的文本具有独特的设计。它的中心图形是字母r.它的上部和下部让人想起摩托车整流罩的风格化形状。一个简单整洁的标志设计对其视觉体验和易于记忆有积极的影响。
深部热疗
意大利一个相对年轻的摩托车品牌深部热疗的创始人是罗伯托克雷帕尔迪.长期以来,作为哈雷戴维森、黛安芬和诺顿罗伯托等世界领先摩托车品牌在意大利的代表,他一直在思考如何创造自己的摩托车。1992年克雷帕尔迪开设了自己的公司,销售60年代和70年代的复古摩托车。与此同时克雷帕尔迪开始接受订单,以创造独特的模式,首席设计师何亲自。另一个方向是接受修改旧样品的订单CRS生产基地位于米兰,每年执行来自俄罗斯、美国、日本、澳大利亚和中国的多达100个应用程序。
有了深部热疗标志罗伯托选择了风格化的动感车轮。这种感觉是由外部和内部椭圆的形状提供的,其不同的斜率增强了这种印象。同时,这种效果由从内部黑色椭圆发出的两个黑色半弧支持。半弧在不同的方向上展开,并且相对于彼此对称地定位。由于这些元素,椭圆的空间被分成两个相等的部分。有一种车轮高速旋转的感觉,轮辐融合。会徽的中心是黑底白字的深部热疗品牌缩写。
毕莫塔
1973年毕莫塔品牌由三位朋友瓦莱里奥比安奇、朱塞佩莫里和马西莫坦布里尼在里米尼市创立。品牌名称是三位创始人姓氏的缩写。最初,该公司致力于为现有的摩托车型号开发独家底盘设计,主要是运动型的。上世纪70年代增加了兰博基尼摩托车的组装。80年代初,Bimota开始对世界领先品牌雅马哈和杜卡迪的摩托车进行现代化改造。2003年后,该工厂发布了BimotaDB5Mille型号,与该公司所有产品一样领先于其时代DB5的发布再次证实了该品牌的核心信条——以引人注目的设计和独特的技术创造未来车型。
毕莫塔的标志完全符合品牌的精神和风格。会徽以其简洁而有效的视觉呈现而闻名。这个符号的原色是红色和黑色。首先是风险和极端、运动和活跃、能量和勇气的颜色。它使观众倾向于果断行动。黑色的特点是优雅和豪华的表现与体面的质量。双人组以力量著称,但有些焦虑。这种效果使分隔两种颜色的白色元素变得柔和。红色感觉更亮,更亮,更突出,更醒目。同时,这种结合唤起了激情和激情的联想
