Fantasy brands

[Spongeinside]

There are a lot of fantasy brand decals available in the livery editor, with some it’s pretty clear what kind of company it is but there’s also a lot that could be various kinds of companies.

So I’ve made a list of all the fantasy brands and noted what kind of company I think they represent. I could be wrong on some, and there are a few I really have no clue what they are...

I have always thought of Petroheads Racing as a racing team and Unicorn Media as a media company (tv and print).

Penrose Tackie and Tim Hodges are Sony executives.

SONY INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT EUROPE — EUROPEAN SALES AND MARKETING
Group Marketing Manager, Software - Penrose Tackie
Senior Product Manager - Tim Hodges

 

[Spongeinside]

Penrose Tackie and Tim Hodges are Sony executives.

Oh a GTsport ‘easter egg’

When I've used Miles logos, I've envisaged they are a running shoe company based on the colours of their logo. They have a long distance running shoe palette to them.

 

[BigJimmy]

Scarlet Line makes me think of a Cigarette Brand. I know it wouldn't be that though.

 

[LittleSpike]

Something that's bothered me for a while with one of these original brand decals; Why would you name your company Understeer Engineering? It's like naming it Unreliable Engineering.

 

[HACHIR0KU]

Bullet Express sounds more like a supermarket chain to me. The logo specially reflects that with its color palette, imo.

 

[jimihemmy]

I always thought of Bullet Express to be a delivery service like UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.
There was (is?) a delivery service where I live called US Express. They were a courier service...

 

[Spongeinside]

There’s some interesting thoughts of you guys I’ve added the suggestions to the list.

Scarlet Line makes me think of a Cigarette Brand. I know it wouldn't be that though.

I’m guessing PD wouldn’t want to make a fake cigarette company knowing cigarette advertising is illegal in motor sports... But I was thinking it could maybe be a long distance bus company like Grayhound is....?

 

[DebtFromAbove]

See? And I thought Michigan Auto Club showed up because I told the game I lived in MI, and everyone who lived in other states got similar types of decals. You know... Florida Auto Club, Wisconsin Auto Club,.....etc.

 

[tankuroded]

246 Press is a reference to Tokyo R246, might I add.

 

[VulcanSpirit]

I'd assume that Blackman Heritage would be associated with classic cars in some way, whether it be a museum, collection, parts supplier or restoration specialist.

 

[tankuroded]

Blu Strada appears to be a shipping/port management company:

 

[tankuroded]

While racing in Mini VGT race yesterday, I noticed that Apex also seemingly also sells petroleum despite the name in Livery Editor:

(photo was not taken from that race's replay btw)

EDIT: Also worth noting that Santa Monica Marina is a reference to the Santa Monica Studio, which developed God of War series.

@tankuroded Robberechts and Lempel are names of actual Sony employees, the latter's full name being Eric Lempel, but I forgot the former's full name.

Looks like Tom Robberechts

 

[05XR8]

Abel & Co London seems like a suit & tie establishment. Could also be similar to Abercrombe.

Noel could be like Boss.

There is a St. Honore bakery in Australia.

Looking at old pictures and researching this subject for a potential GT Wikia article, I noticed that Kyan may also manufacture other heavy-duty/precision instruments such as these lights at Tokyo Expressway:

Also, if GT7 trailer is to tell, Brighton Antiques appears to be a kind of "legendary" car auction - something like RM Sotheby's or Bonhams:

Meanwhile, Understeer Engineering seems to be a parts store and Auto Plus appears to be an used car dealer, according to pre-release screenshots:

 

[MidnightRun85]

After reading this thread last week I thought it would be cool to do a fantasy-only livery. So I chose a a car ad started on it last night. This thread was most helpful in deciding which ones to use!
