I’ve been working with Sherly on some stuff for Hover/Meltdown lately, here’s a design for a new piece of tech from it.

The KUVA Electronics Pilot Vital Signs Monitor (also known as the “Infotag”) is a device that links with the pilot and their vehicle and monitors the status of both throughout a race. “Integrity” is the measure of vehicle and driver status, the value decreases to reflect damage or wear to either. A driver at 20%-30% integrity or less is considered critically injured, at which point the system switches into emergency mode and stabilizes the driver until they can be rendered aid.

This device is worn on either the chest or lower arm of a pilot’s suit, and a more rudimentary version is featured in Hover’s chronological predecessor, Meltdown.

I promise I’ll put some actual writing here soon

Team Profiles: Nippon International Airlines

Presence: Hover (NAS) | Meltdown (NIA)

Proudly serving as the flag carrier of Japan for several centuries, NIA/NAS prides itself on its easily recognizable corporate identity and inherent “Japaneseness” - so much so that the airline’s livery has hardly changed since the current iteration was introduced in the mid-1990s.

In Meltdown the airline is the largest airline and flag carrier of Japan, opting to be one of the opening sponsors for the first year of the UCRA League. The company sponsors driver Fusao Hirai in the #87 Astigos Razon TS (based on the Toyota Land Cruiser 70).

Between the timelines of Hover and Meltdown the company evolved drastically, although its branding retained the same general look the company was one of the first to operate inter-planetary passenger flights, linking Tokyo with the Tsuki no Chiheisen Lunar Colony.

In Hover the air/spaceline remains the Japanese flag carrier, although in a far, far larger capacity as more people travel via air and space than ever before. The company has had a long presence as a racing sponsor stretching centuries, and has been a sponsor of the Nitro Boost Cup since its founding. During Hover’s timeline, the company sponsors Aiko Inoue on his board Crimson Smoke.

I may be abroad but I’m not about to let my design skills get rusty.

This is a movie poster mockup based on some art by my friend Tee featuring their character Cassiopeia, from their fictional universe Project Takiraah. Go check their stuffs out!

Team Profiles: Popco

Presence: Hover | Meltdown 

Here we have a circle Smooth and inoffensive This will be the basis For your revolution

Founded in the 2300s following the merger of soft drink giants Popsi and KolaCola, Popco is a megacorporation that is largest drink producer in the world. Covering over 90% of the worldwide drink market and having sole ownership of vital pure water supplies in nations such as Iceland and Fiji, Popco is everywhere and will not let you forget it. Popco is not just a drink company, it is the drink company.

The current logo depicts a large, blue bubble with smaller bubbles fizzing off on the top right like a soda. The first “o” in Popco is a simple design depicting the top view of an open glass soda bottle, with the bottlecap resting nearby. An earlier iteration of the Popco logo was essentially the same, except in a bright yellow color.

As part of its strategy to maintain a continued worldwide presence, a sponsorship in the world-famous Nitro Boost Cup seemed only natural. Sponsoring racer Chika Ito on the board Sapphire Surge for the last four years, Ito’s relative success in the League suggests that Popco is going to retain their sponsorship for years to come.

I’ve never been much of an artist, but once in a blue moon I do like to do graphic design. These are three different logos I designed for teams based on some game plots @sherlockdame and I were working together on back in 2015. Hover was Sherly’s idea, while Meltdown was mine. Although the plots and settings are different, they share some commonalities such as recurring teams (like Saki Motors/Advancements) and characters that link the two games together.

More about each logo is explained in the captions.

Team Profiles: RUGEN

Presence: Hover | Meltdown

Founded in 2018 following the nationalization of the 3 largest oil companies in the country, RUGEN - Russian Energy Enterprise is the state-owned oil and energy corporation of the Russian Federation. RUGEN holds sole access to all of Russia’s and Venezuela’s oil reserves, making the corporation the most valuable oil company in the world behind Saudi Arabia’s enterprises.

In Meltdown the company opts to sponsor a team in the UCRA shortly after acquiring Venezuela’s oil reserves. The company sponsors driver Ivan Tatarsky in the #89 GVA Soyuz (based on the UAZ Patriot).

Several decades after the events Meltdown, the long unstable Russian Federation collapses into multiple independent states and RUGEN is broken up with it. RUGEN’s Hover equivalent, Primgiya, is reformed as a private energy company based in Primorsky Krai, an independent state roughly the size of the Russian Federations’s Far Eastern Federal District.

This is an old design I had for a virtual airline when I was real into Flight Sim a couple years back. Titled “&”, it was supposed to be a European Low-Cost carrier akin to the real life easyJet, with its advertising heavily relying on the motif of choice for the consumer, that they can fly anywhere. Unfortunately it never went anywhere, but I’ve held onto the livery concepts since.

Liveries Shown: G-ANDA - "Beginner's Luck", &'s very first aircraft in "Basic Blue" livery. Most of &’s fleet uses some version of this. G-ANDF - "Space Race" G-ANDG - "Take Care" G-ANDH - "Come On In" G-ANDB - "Decisions, Decisions" in "Lime" Livery. G-ANDC - "Beach Bum" in "Sunflower" Livery. G-FUTR - "The Future is Euro" - Advertisement livery concept, using FEISAR from the WipEout game series. The airline was to have a handful of other aircraft with advertisements along the sides. Another design I never got around to was supposed to be the "Lilac" livery, which carries a similar design to the rest but with violet coloring.

Wish I was good enough to have made the aircraft templates as well, but those are Med’s.
