Why is the Hyundai Genesis logo on the right side? The only thing remotely the same is the wings on the side and wings are all over lots of logos.
Here is a larger list of auto logos with a little history attached: http://gawlowski.com/matt/cars/car_logos.html

Anyone know the history of the "Bowtie"?
Louis Chevrolet was on a trip to France to do a pitch for his division of General Motors, only he didn't have a logo for the new make. When he walked into his hotel room, he fell in love with the wallpaper pattern in the room and before he left he tore a patch of it right off the wall and took it with him back to GM in the States. The Bowtie has been Chevy's emblem ever since
There's 3 or 4 different versions of the Bowtie, but since this is 3D modeling I made the one that appears in most Chevy truck grilles, including my own '98 S10: a black emblem with beveled edges containing a gold-tinted clear plastic inlay.

That´s your bowti model:
Yeah, I don't have any kind of rendering program here at work, so I try to make do with the .pdf publisher.
Can you render the one I have up now? I changed it and reloaded the .zip and the image, thought of a different way to do the inlay. Doesn't show up as well as it did before on my end, but properly rendered it oughta really pop. 8)
EDIT: Yanno, with the economy the way it is and car companies falling apart at the seams, I wonder how desperate for cash one of 'em would have to be to sue all our sorry butts for trademark infringement? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

@Ralf - Yanno, I actually kinda like the 1st one better :lol:
Naturally, I overwrote that version instead of making a whole other inlay model like I should've :roll:
I'm back on the clock right now , but if I think of it I'll take a picture of the grille emblem on my Dime once I get off work & upload it when I get to the R/C track tonight. My fellow Bowtie Brothers (is Andris/"z28tt" looking?) and Dezert Dimers will have to forgive me, the inlay on my truck got cracked.

If he can pull that off with any kind of accuracy, the Design Contest is OVER. :lol:ralf3 said:
