Project of the Week – UTLX Tank Car USB

March 7, 2009
100% Custom Drives, Most Interesting Projects

This is probably one of the coolest projects I’ve worked on (at least so far this year). Earlier in the year, UTLX (Union Tank Car Company) came to us and asked for our help in designing a custom flash drive that looked like one of their train tank cars, the ones that transport liquids. With the words “Yes We Can,” we took the job.

More than 10 design revisions, everyone agreed on the final piece. This was to be a plastic made USB drive with an embossed UTLX logo on both sides, with a USB drive spinning out from the bottom. It just arrived, and it looks B-E-A-UTIFUL. See photos below.
