RX-Snake: Body, Paint, Name, Logos

Do I get a prize for naming her? |
With a tight budget in mind we could use all paintwithpearl.com stuff.
Candy Orange for the lettering. (Motorgen.com on both sides, in huge letters.) Blue Pearl over a white base. We could also do a violet or a red pearl, or even a gold pearl over the white. For a very subtle look, you can do white pearl over white, but I imagine the theme of this car will not be subtle. I was thinking that we could get a large dark blue vinyl cut out of a logo, maybe something like this. And lay it on the hood, over the white base before we clear it. By the way if you guys want to save time and money, we could also do that with the large motorgen logos on the side. Have some large neon orange vinyls made, put them on the white base after it dries for a few hours, then clear over vinyl. That's a great clean way to get a custom look. If you guys like this idea, we should have Steve photoshop a nice one. This guy cleared over an autobots logo on this motorcyle. You can't even tell that it was vinyl. |

I also really like the direction of the RX Snake logo you mocked up. My only concern would be the IP rights to the snake. :huh: Especially considering Ford's penchant for going after enthusiasts for your using their trademarks. It's a touchy area. |
Here is a very rough concept for the RX-Snake Logo. Let me know what you guys think.
|
It's cool. I vote for mine over that one... but nicely done. Make one that looks like mine and let's make a poll. :D
I think it's funny that RX was supposed to stand for rotary experimental, so we're getting rid of the wrong part of the model name. Not that 7 is any more an indication of the car than RX, I think 7 denotes the 7th attempt? |
I actually like them both. But whatever we do, can we make it so we don't get sued by Ford. Thanks.
|
That was my reasoning for doing the snake the way I did it, don't want motorgen to get sued. I will have to do some more rough concepts for people to possibly vote on and then make a really good one.

I would not worry about it. If FORD doesn't like it, they will send out a letter wanting money. :sm_up_there: |

Here's what most likely would happen. We could use it, potentially for a long period of time. Then eventually Ford Legal somehow finds out. Their most likely first course of action would simply be to send a cease and desist order, which means remove the trademark. Even I (and I'm super strict about this stuff) wouldn't expect to be sued for any monetary compensation since as you stated, it is not our intent to profit directly from the sale of merchandise using their trademark. It's just that ultimately, that it isn't what makes it legal or illegal. |

My new favorite, I stole Leedoms lettering.
|
I remember reading somewhere that "x" type of cars were only allowed to be driven on the road for purposes of driving to and from automotive events/ car shows. Which would be pretty much perfect.
By the way, yall need to vote for the last logo. It's a hybrid of both logos, sticking with the theme of the car. :D Plus, it's siiick. |

I know it's not nicely done, and it would need to be redone by someone who knows their way around photshop, not someone who spends an hour in paint with a pencil and eraser in zoom mode. But, I really like the idea of a cascading graphic. I invision a large logo on the center of the hood, underneath the clear coat. And a cascaded graphic will make better use of the space and therefore can be much larger. Plus it's way cooler. :D A left to right graphic, like my 2nd or your first especially, would need to be about 6" tall by 48" wide. Whereas a cascaded graphic could be more like 36" tall by 36" wide. I think it would go better with the gigantic motorgen lettering on the side of the car. |

For the record I like all the logos so far :judge: |
Ben! Reset the poll and tell everyone to vote again, people have yet to see the glory of my revised non-copyright infringement logo. :D

By the way Adam, do I have your consent to use your awesome art work in my sig? I'll pay you 10 cents on the dollar for every dollar that it makes. :smack:

Maybe ditch the - and have the snake head closer and curve over the X. That would help keep it compact, and make the head bigger (that's what she said) to make Brtual happy. |
Quote:
Yes, a bigger head (she said it was too big already) and heavier lines on the snake--other wise it it is nearly perfect. Even in the long layout as is. :thumbs_up: Adam I wish I had your talent.:drink: I had a thought (yea I know:sm_up_there:) how about for a "another" emblem You could use the top half of body and head and put the "RX" --each letter "R" on left side "X" on right side--in each back flap of the Cobra. I hope that made sense. |
You must all cease and decist from produving any logos, emblems, badges, decals, etc. using the name, likeness, or any interpretation of "RX-Snake". I have not provided anyone with a license to use this "idea". If you would like to proceeed, I GOTTA GET PAID.

I'm all ears, but I also sort of have it on the brain for the car to be a blue pearl over white base with candy orange Motorgen lettering. See enkei's reference pics. |

Adam, connect the dots.
Joedls, Adam has already claimed 50 cents on the dollar, that leaves you with... let's see, math... "Mom, what's 100 - 50?" "Oh sweetie, those are two completely different numbers." 210cc Pro Comp, expensive but I didn't look for very long. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Pro-C...1%7C240%3A1318 351 Heads (Not sure if these will fit, what's the compatiability rule for SBFs?) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/REBUI...1%7C240%3A1318 |
