Taxi and Eco Vehicle Designs

Taxi Design I chose

Currently Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality is holding a design competition in several categories. The most famous category is the Taxi Design Contest. People of Istanbul can vote for their new taxi's from this link. There are 4 different taxi designs and I think they are all very modern looking and thoughtfully designed. However, I voted for design B since I had to choose one. You can vote by selecting "OY VER" which is written under the photos of the designs. I am not sure if people living outside Istanbul's votes also count but I'm guessing they do since there is a website that you can vote from anywhere around the world.

Eco Vehicle Fayton

The other categories include Eco Vehicle Design, Taxi Stop Building Design and Communication and Design. Among the Eco Vehicle Design finalists there is one that is being advertised by one of my friends. I think she knows the designer or someone close to the designer. "Eco Vehicle Design" is written as "Eko Arac Tasarim" in Turkish on the website I gave the link of. There are 3 finalists and even if my friend hadn't advertised Fayton, the name of the eco vehicle, I would've given my vote to it anyway. I think the design is very original, fayton means carriage in English but fayton refers to carriages drawn by horses, and as you might have noticed the eco vehicle does remind you of a horse carriage. So, in short vote for Fayton! :) You can vote for any design until June 29th. Also I believe that you can vote each day, so there is no restriction of voting only once.
