It looks just like [Mercury](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-outboard-motor)’s winged shoes (or those of [Hermes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazon-1), if you prefer the Greek version), clearly an allusion to the speed with which the postal truck will deliver your prized packages. ‘Snail mail’ is referred to as such for a reason, so using Mercury as a design inspiration for the Canada Post concept is a smart move on Hugo Plazas’ part. Check out more images of the speedy mail-carrier above. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Mythology-inspired Design:** There is potential for other industries such as fashion and home design to incorporate mythological themes into their products. - **Speedy Delivery Services:** Businesses in the logistics industry should invest in technological advancements that can improve their delivery times and meet customer demands. - **Aesthetic Branding:** Companies can use visually appealing designs to attract customers and create a unique branding experience. ### Where This Applies - **Postal Services:** The postal industry can innovate by designing their vehicles with advanced features that can optimize speed and accuracy in deliveries. - **Package Delivery Services:** Delivery companies can leverage innovation by investing in drones and other technologies to deliver packages faster and more efficiently. - **Automobile Manufacturing:** Car companies can incorporate unique and creative designs inspired by different themes to differentiate their products in the market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Delivery Truck Toy Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-fedex-truck.md) - [Electric Truck Postal Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/united-states-postal-service-1.md) - [Friendly Business Delivery Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-delivery-truck.md) - [Shapeshifting Delivery Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-mobility-system.md) - [Compartmentalized Robotic Delivery Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buzzy-bot.md) - [Solar Parcel Postboxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/royal-mail-solar-postboxes.md) - [Space-Themed Postal Stamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacethemed-postal-stamp.md) - [Skateboard-Inspired Stamp Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skateboard-inspired-stamp-collection.md) - [Interactive Autonomous Delivery Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robo-a2z-delivery-vehicle.md)
