1995 - 2021
and further :-)
1993
The beginnings of our company B2 date back to 1993. Back then, we were inspired by the motorcycle community there on the beaches of Melbourne, Australia.
After returning home in 1994, there was nothing left to think about, let's start our own company! But, what will it be called?
1995
By some chance we got our hands on the Troy Lee Designs catalog and our jaw dropped, that's it, we want it!
And so Barbora Janovská, Martin Kvasnička and Milan Jaroš found a graphic studio, , with the idea that we will paint racing helmets, motorbikes and bikes using the airbrush technique[applying paint with a tiny air gun]
We came up with the logo and name for 3 months, about a ton of paper and hundreds names fell, it was a massacre :-)
... and you already know it: The Winner is ... B2!
1996
Thanks to pilot Jaroslav Huleš, our helmet in the MS motocyklů series is 125 cm, and at the Olympics in Atlanta they wear a helmet with the B2 Kateřina Neumannová and Radek Fořt logo.
Martin Koloc with a helmet painted in our Red Bull design wins the ME title in the drag racing. We were thrilled, such a success a after a year of business!
Our first Sport Prague exhibition, where we had a stand and sold T-shirts with our logo for the first time.
And do you know how the stand came about? We simply bought the boards and cut, drilled and painted them on the spot and it was done...
1997
Victory in the DESIGN category at the Sport Prague Exhibition with the "duck" helmet - well, this helmet came about a bit by accident when Bára was drawing and she was embarrassed to show us, what did she actually create for this exhibition ... a duck and a helmet??? ... but when we saw it, it was the bomb and yes!!!
Other products with the B2 logo are emerging such as sweatshirts and caps.
Company is leaving Milan Jaroš and he goes his own way ... good luck!
1998-2000
The mobile drawing phenomenon is flying I think we drew hundreds of them. As part of the tour of the world-famous writer Ed McBain , we are creating a limited edition of mobile phones with his "handwritten" signature.
Breaking the 100,000 CZK limit for HD drawing in Harley - Casperson design. Spectacular and great work, and thanks to it they wrote 3 pages about us in Motocykl magazine and we were interviewed on Czech TV.
Ivo Chestnut rides the legendary Paris - Dakar with our helmet on a Triumph motorcycle. We are drawing a Windows 2000 design bike helmet for Steve Ballmer, head of Microsoft, yes and Pepa Dressler in our helmčice "finally" becomes the Biketrial World Champion!
2001-2002
Cooperation with the legendary Czech brand AUTHOR gave us a lot of professional nakopla. The professional yet friendly environment impressed us a lot and influenced us in the future. Thanks Martin!
It's splashed by 100 pero, but the share of our graphic work is starting to rise, so we're creating a new logo for the cult Czech brand RB, which manufactures mountain bikes ... nIt's not for nothing that we are mainly designers at heart!
Well, who doesn't know the band Lucie? So for Michal Dvořák, we draw his keyboards in a technical style.
Among other things, we sell about a ton sheets sticker B2 :-)

2007-2009
Motorcycle racer Matěj Smrž brought a helmet drawn in our studio to the highest level on the circuit in Magny Course, in the MS Superstock series. He did so well that year that the very next year, we had a helmet in the Supersport World Championship.
Pilot Jarek Janiš drove 24h car races with our helmet 5 times
Le Mans. to achieve the best position with the Spyker car, and of course the B2 helmet could not be missing.
Because there was a lot of interest in our collection of clothes and accessories, we made an agreement with the chain of stores Walk Shop, they had super stands made and they started to be sold together with the brands Oakley, O'neill. That was great, after all, in just one yearoutside other sold about 5000 t-shirts :-) ... unfortunately this cooperation did not last long duration and ended after 2 years thanks to the closing of the Walk Shop :-(

2010-2011
We are doing well and for some time now our workspaces are small, so we will have to do something about it. But what and where? We found a plot of land just outside Prague in Čerčany and decided to build our studio B2 right here.
Whoever built it knows and the rest of you probably guess a the classic wheel begins. The great thing is that we know the architect Miloš Černý from the construction of our house, so the choice of who will design the studio for us is clear. We will surround ourselves with super craftsmen and at the end of the year we approve!
In addition, Matěj Smrž rides the German IDM motorcycle championship and Ondra Ježek the World Supersport Championship with our helmet. Biker Michal Prokop becomes in Switzerland the third time World champion in MTB discipline 4X and what kind of helmet is he wearing? Sure, ours :-)
