I tend to see the front of the Aero Trad design as very low and wide and it gives it a lot of purpose on top of the gentleman element.
I think a body colour cross bar would be more effective than a vertical element which bisects the front. This would give a broad unbroken line from edge to edge low down making it look even more rapid and dynamic.
Calum, could you possibly oblige with a further rendition as Alistair suggests?
