When Fruits Music approached us with their iconic Melon character, we were thrilled to take on the challenge of bringing it to life as a wearable helmet. Our goal was to create a functional and comfortable design that would perfectly capture the brand's unique personality and identity.

One of the biggest challenges we faced during the project was finding the right size for the helmet. We had to ensure that it looked like a real melon without being too bulky or heavy. We also had to make sure that the inside of the helmet was balanced and stable for the artist wearing it, while still maintaining good airflow.

The design process involved a lot of back and forth, starting with sketches and moving to 3D modeling to get the curves just right. We incorporated the seed, eyes, and mouth of the melon into the design, making sure to capture its organic round edges and signature rind.

For the build, we used SLS-printed nylon for durability and lightness, while tinted acrylic and resins were used for multiple parts, such as the seed. We even added electronic fans inside for airflow and defogging of the tinted lenses.

The final outcome was a sleek, glossy, and functional melon helmet that perfectly embodied the Fruits Music brand. The project's unique size and design elements made it a truly special endeavor for us.

At BassDropProps, we take pride in our ability to turn 2D designs into fully-realized physical projects. This project showcases our capabilities perfectly, demonstrating our expertise in both design and build.

Ultimately, this project was created for Fruits Music, a label based in the Netherlands. We drew inspiration from their logo and other key design features from past projects to bring their iconic Melon character to life in a new and exciting way.
