Bid to Win.

A one-of-a-kind crystallized Red Bull helmet for the Wings for Life World Run charity auction, in collaboration with Red Bull Athlete Aaron Colton.

Red Bull tapped the studio for a charity piece — a fully crystallized Bell racing helmet to anchor a Wings for Life World Run auction. The package: the one-of-one helmet plus paddock-suite access at Red Bull Grand Prix Americas (MotoGP). All proceeds to spinal-cord-injury research.

Bid to <em>Win.</em>

The shell is the same DOT-rated Bell that Aaron races in. We mapped the iconic Red Bull livery — the bull, the bull's-eye sun, the wordmark across the chin bar — and ran the crystal in two finishes to keep the brand sharp. Cobalt and silver Swarovski across the body, with crystal-AB highlights in the bull mark so it catches stadium light. The helmet is functional, not display-only. Aaron ran it on track. The charity auction page credited 'ARTIST VINCENT BELMONT' next to 'RED BULL ATHLETE AARON COLTON' — the studio's first co-credit at that level.

"The helmet had to look like a Red Bull helmet first and a studio piece second. The crystal had to disappear into the brand or it didn't work."
