By using simple shapes i have given the name of Apollo more importance. The logo uses as main shape the "A" chosen for the typeface. Also adding the white stripes not only the transforms the "A" shape onto a lyre, but also helps the background to make the more interesting. The name of Apollo needs to be clear and loud. Therefore, by using the lyre as part of the scooter helps making the connection between the scooter and Apollo, who as the Greek Mythology tells us was the god of music and his instrument was the lyre. Also Making the name of Apollo the same green as the logo makes the logo and the name to be seen as whole not as different elements.
