2014 Maco GTR

First off, I need a consensus on whether to use Duke or Blackwater as the brand name for my concept cars. I'd appreciate feed back from all that would like to express and opinion on this so I can move ahead. Personally, I don't like Duke because it is one syllable and that just doesn't carry for me. But I'd like general opinion on this.

Here's the new concept car I'm working on, the Maco GTR.

How about Duke of Blackwater? Or Blackwater-Duke?

Blackwater has my vote, Ron. One of these days I want to see you do an engine bay rendering for one of your cars.

I gave this as much thought as I am capable and decided that for me at least Blackwater has my vote.

I looked at it as "Introducing the Blackwater Motor Company Maco GTR"'
and "Introducing the Duke Motor Company Maco GTR"

Probably shallow thinking but that's kind of how I looked at it.

Ford is one syllable - so is Dodge or Jeep. Why not Duke? ;)
You're probably just quite familiar with your name that it sounds lame...

Duke gets my vote.

Short, simple and GREAT.
Go for DUKE

Well, thanks for a few serious responses. I'm posting the name and logo on which I've decided. (for now, feels strange using my own name)
Also, here's the work so far on the car. I think the side view is finished, but the back end is taking a lot of time and a number of redraws as it has to remain commensurate with the side view.
Haven't even thought of the front end yet...

DMC sounds just right, Ron :-bd

'DMC' was the name of DeLorean Motor Company.
Just thought I would let you know.
You may want to think of an alternative.

How about just 'DC' ?!
Duke Carriages, or Duke Cars.

Nissan have a car called the Juke

Maybe this. I'm thinking this is getting closer to what I'd like to see...

Nice lines on this motor Ron - she looks fast already. lovin the intakes, shading area on window looks really good.....
Name: Definately Duke for me,
Badge: Like those wings, nice details....not sure that the DAC font works

Here's the design I've decided on. Wings, crown and checkered background, but all modernized.

Now, back to the car. Got side tracked there. (happens all the time)

Yes nice one Ron, the modern version looks much better to me and if I was buying one of your cars this is the badge I would want on it. Er how much did you say they cost....? $$$$

Thanks Tabian!

Here's an update. Don't worry about the headlights. They're not what I'm going with. I've just got to take a break and
clear the old noggin. These cars I draw really challenge the software!

Keep it coming Ron, it's looking good.

Thanks Gray and Jon.


Well, here it is. I decided I had to go with hide away head lights as nothing I could come up with worked with
the roundness of the overall design. (imho)
Some may not like that but it was what I thought worked best. Hope it gets a passing grade.

Oh, and the colors were chosen to mimic the basic colors of a maco shark; blueish gray top with the white under belly. The colors are
named, so they can be changed easily.


I will of course, consider suggestions from all ya'll.

Black and peach.

caramel and lemon.

And don't forget about Dale Carnegie. The how to win friends and influence people guy.
EDIT; so DC us not such a good idea. I like that DAC a lot Ron.

Thanks Larry.

I'll order one in black, Ron. I hope it tops 200mph.:)

Love the silver. If such a car existed and one could afford it, wouldn't you love to take it out on the track and have at it?

Wow looking pretty nifty there Ron. Love what you've done with the wheel design.

I'll take one in um ... thinks for a moment ... silver and teal or maybe a cherry red, right-hand drive of course.

Regards

Su

Thanks so much Gray, Gary and Su. Wow! and Su!
