Double Coin Imaging Awards
A simple scheme.... from a distance
Double Coin Imaging Awards
Some fleet colour schemes are so bold and complicated you can't help but notice – and, generally, admire them.
Others take a more subtle approach. Seen from a distance they're good-looking...but it takes a closer examination to uncover a depth of visual balance and understated detail that makes them really noteworthy.
This month's finalist in the PPG Transport Imaging Awards, Pukekohe-based Northchill, falls very much into this latter category.
At first glance its livery seems quite simple – a base white with green chassis, guards and lower cab, two sets of ruler-straight dual grey stripes running horizontally at mid-cab level, with similar sets crossing these and angling upward in the sleeper area.
The striping is set off by a golden yellow company logo – a swoosh with a central white line, evocative of a bend in a road. It's accompanied by the company name under it in green.
All very simple...and also very adaptable: With little modification it works as well on cabovers as it does on conventionals.
