The 3 custom body graphics were selected from over 10,000 entries in the Hero CoLabs contest
The Black and Accent customisation programme is a segment-first option and is a result of the brand's 'Hero CoLabs' contest that was held earlier this year. The contest saw over 10,000 registrations creating different graphic design themes for the Splendor+. The top three designs shortlisted have now been put into production by the two-wheeler maker.
Speaking about the contest and the design theme, Malo Le Masson, Head of Strategy, Hero MotoCorp said, "This is an excellent example of Hero MotoCorp's new vision and mission of moving ahead with a collaborative approach and achieving synergy between the digital and physical world. Within five months, we have put the winning designs, from the contest, into production and made them available to our customers. We will continue to bring more such creative initiatives in the future."
