Cagiva logos

Post by nickst4 »

I've always had mixed feelings about the cute Cagiva elephant cos it's not exactly macho. OK, so it doesn't look so out of place on the little Planet 125 I've just acquired... :roll:

Now I'm wondering why my Raptor (and our forum) has a logo with what can only be described as a Celtic flavour, and I don't mean the football club north o' the border!

Is there anyone well up enough on Cagiva lore to explain?

In the sales brochure I'm pretty sure the Cagiva triskel was described as the depiction of moving the mind, body and spirit, which is pretty spot on I reckon

Thanks for that. Triskel is a new word for me! Your definition sounds like pure marketing-speak, but it works for me too. Was it specific to the Raptor sales brochures?

More specific to Celtic pagans I'd say

I posted this under the Tech heading relating to V-Rap graphics today, but it's probably more relevant to say here that a nice Cagiva Raptor triskelion keyring is currently available on ebay uk.

Not the source of the keyring, but I've recently found a good graphics firm that has helped with decals for the Cagiva Planet I'm playing with. PrintcutUK or www.ukstickershop.com is the name and they made a simple custom 'Planet 125' decal for me (I designed it) for a couple of pounds.

Christians also use it and call it the Triune to represent God the Father, son and Spirit. Wouldn't mind getting getting another oem sticker to put away for if my Cag ever needs a re spray.
