After Funke & Will had to stop its business activities in early 2009, the YES! Roadster was assumed by a company around Marco Kunz. He had been one of the first YES! 3.2 Turbo clients and – more importantly – one of the biggest fans of this extraordinary sports car.

To emphasise the restart of the brand, it was decided to relaunch the logo as well. Within several options the chosen design was the one that represents the core of the product best: pure, precise and powerful.

BUILDING A BRAND

As Oliver Schweizer (head of Schweizer Design Consulting) is a co-creator of the »YES! – Young Engineers Sportscar«, he has been involved in all aspects of design from the very beginning.
Starting with the first YES! brochure and exhibition stand, we defined numerous print media and graphical elements, including the Corporate Design of the
Funke & Will Aktiengesellschaft, the instruction manual for the YES! websites and various advertising material.

SMALL-SERIES SPORTSCAR

The second generation of the YES! – Young Engineers Sportscar is Funke & Will’s step into the future. A larger engine, improved performance and conformance with international regulations open up a new chapter in the young history of the successful manufacturer of purebred sportscars.
Schweizer Design Consulting re-designed the successor by taking its heritage serious. All important characteristics of the old model have been transformed into an up-to-date design language. The outcome is a cutting-edge roadster, isn’t it? – Yes, indeed!

For the 2003 Frankfurt International Motor Show (IAA), we designed a booth for the YES! Roadster, which was subsequently used for upcoming fairs from Paris to Tokyo. To respond to different layout levels and local requirements, the stand was designed in a modular format. Using a technical, purist design, the information and the exhibit was brought into the foreground. This presented the Roadster fittingly despite a tight budget.

The YES! – Young Engineers Sportscar is a vision that turned into reality. It is synergy between engineering and design. A roadster deliberately conceived without the usual comforts in order to let you experience the pleasure of driving in its purest form. In 1997 the two engineers Funke & Will and designer Oliver Schweizer began to develop the YES! – Young Engineers Sportscar. When first presented to public in 1999 it was suggested to be the most radical sportscar of present time. The YES! Clubsport released in late 2000 was followed by a Roadster and Cup/R version.
