There’s a superb article by stv21 over at AlvaroBautista.co.uk – chronicling the history of Alvaro Bautista’s helmet designs throughout his MotoGP career.
And even better than that, you can also cast your vote on which is your favourite of all. Vote here…
It’s a fascinating feature and there’s lots of great pictures of the helmet designs; and I’m going to be very interested to see which lid comes out on top.
Enjoy! (And pass on!)
To celebrate Alvaro’s superb victory at Catalunya last weekend, it seems only right that the best way to do it is with a set of desktop icons of his special “Man of La Mancha” helmet.
As per usual I’ve done a set of Mac OSX and a set for Windows XP/Vista, each of which contains two icons of the helmet – one with a drop-shadow and one without.
All carefully crafted and alpha-channelled to pimpify your computer desktop to the very best effect.
Okay – here are the icons of Alvaro nice red & silver 2008 helmet, prepped for Windows XP and Vista. As with the Mac OSX versions, there are two – one with a drop shadow and one without.

Alvaro had two main helmet designs in the 2008 season; a standard one (on his new Suomy lid) that was a hotch-potch of blue and red and white – and not terribly elegant – and another that was very much red and silver and which owed more to the cool stylings of his 2007 helmet.
I’ve converted this second one into a couple of icons for those of you out there who use Mac OSX. (Though I’ll get on with sorting out a Windows version soon of course…)
The set comprises of two options: one being a basically ‘clean’ version, and the other having a nifty little drop-shadow that will look pretty swish on your desktop (particularly if it’s a Batifans.com desktop wallpaper download).
