Whaaa? Well I guess Jessica Alba looks weird to some people.
The colours match, the font isn't too far off the weight of the BMC logo. Maybe Beyond Black Firecrest 404s (or even 303s) would be a slight improvement but I can't see how you get weird.

Well do you reckon bright reflective panniers, reflective sidewalls on the tyres, spinning reflector mounted to the seat, one rear light on the seatpost, one rear light on the pannier rack, one front blinky on the bar, and Ay-ups on the lid (in addition to the standard bright jersey and reflective booties that I wear) should do the trick?

Nah, the blinky is just an Electron Milli unit, more as a backup in case the Ay-ups die (which they never have). As for the Ay-ups, they're the older version lightset so not stupidly bright. For the rear units you're right though, I run a Knog Blinder on the seatpost, and a Nightrider Cherrybomb on the back of the pannier rack. The Cherrybomb mostly because it has a nice unique flash pattern that I've always noticed when driving, as well as it being a standard AA setup. This provides good insurance as it dies slowly rather than all at once like the newfangled Li-ion units.
I should point out that most of my commute is on unlit roads, so I feel no shame at being lit up like a Christmas tree!
