Ok guys a lil help...?

[andymaserati]

Hey guys
just wanted a little help with a uni project im doing, no doubt ill be on here more than this once for help but we'll start at the beginning.

ive been tasked with a management project to run a car company. we have to run it on a simulator thingy and hopefully make some profit.

first things first is naming the car company. i would like to use something with herritage
so a car company which has gone bust or disbanded or something. this is where you lovely people come in... suggestions please for old racing teams or car manufacturers who have gone bust in the past, and aren't recently using their name.
(no need to worry about copyright as its only a simulator)

i was thinking along the lines of someone like invicta, but i know they've just started making cars again.

so i open the floor to suggestions.... make me proud

i said make me proud.... i came up with rover myself
so no need to say MG or TVR either

[burriana]

There is the obvious one, but they only stopped manufacturing a couple of months back... but if it's only a simulator, why not?

Alternatively:
Healey
Sunbeam
Jensen

How about some of the marques that belonged to Rover. Wolseley, Austin Healey, Riley etc.

Well if you're from Yorkshire the answer has to be Jowett or Jowett Jupiter etc...

I always thought Lanchester was a good name.
Alvis has style too.....
Or maybe Frazer-Nash

to congratulations to c3ber

Your not a second year business student at leeds met are you by any chance?

A couple of my friends are doing the same thing.

Okay, here is my go. Unfortunately I don't have the font installed that I wanted to use. The closest I have here is a little bit too squiggly and difficult to read. I had to go with the obvious logo...



It will work on a white background too, but not quite as well.

[andymaserati]

No im actually a second year aerospace engineering student at manchester university.

Love the logo btw.... it just came in too late, as the submission for the logo was yesterday (i dont know why it was a sunday, i was hung over so not fair)

but we decided on this logo.


might still use your logo though.... seems a shame to waste it

D'oh. Bugger
