I must say I'm really bothered by the "situation" as well.

It is their company and brand afterall....
don't get me wrong, I think Kouros did nice work, but it is FFR's call in the end, no vote, no popular opinion, no democracy.

I typed a whole page above and decided to edit it out. But I tell you this much; if you ever do anything with FFR, deal with Dave Smith directly, have it on signed paper and take an advance deposite.

They think what I do is cool, some guy sitting behind a PC doing cool stuff for our company 'cause he has a lot of free time on his hands. Little they know, thats how I put bread on the table.

Below is the logo designed by their uhhhm .... ""AD AGENCY"".

Are they going to do an enameled metal badge in the new design for the front and the trunk lid? I have the standard Cobra badges, and would prefer to use a FFR badge, if it's avalable.

Actually, not the controversy we were talking about. Their new logo looks strangely similar to Kouros' logo design doesn't it?

yes and no...they both are similar to each others, each a mod or refinement of the previous...K didn't start with a blank sheet and niether did FFR...so who owns what? I have no idea...again, not bashing Kouros, i love the man like a brother and respect his work

either way I would have prefered they lost the redundant "five" and kept "racing" in the logo

Yeah, I'm not fond of the repeated five either.

This is starting to go south. Please understand that Kouros' dealings with FFR should remain private. If this starts to get personal, it will be closed.

Kinda reminds me of something that went on a few years ago with the Baltimore Ravens and one of their logos.
