This is my entry for the Valtteri Bottas Helmet Design Contest 2018.
I played around with the Finnish and Petronas theme colours in combination with the retro style of his current design. The final design uses the exposed carbon as the base layer. The front has the V-theme with a Finnish flag theme at the sides and rear. The top has a Petronas/Finnish Blue gradient with the Vortex-theme and his VB-logo and race number. The design is finished with white and Petronas green pin stripes. Special feature at the back of the helmet is the coat of arms of Nastola municipality (Finland) and place of birth of Valtteri Bottas. Additonally, I made variations in black, blue and white.
Below are some of my early sketches and rough ideas with several retro, Finnish and Petronas themes.
