The “Batcave” of the Ford GT

July 21, 2015 By Lamarque Ford Leave a Comment

The upcoming Ford GT that is set to hit the market in 2016 has been labeled a “supercar,” not only because it has the most powerful EcoBoost engine that Ford has ever produced, but also because even with its design paying tribute to the late Daytona racing models, it has the same sophistication and edge that is reminiscent of the Bat Mobile seen in Batman’s secret cave.

And while we’re on the subject of secret caves, the Ford GT has got its own. While its true that the “cave” may not have all the glitz and glamour of Batman’s, its definitely something to write home about! The “secret underground lab” that the GT was made in, has cool set-ups like foam-renderings and other technology. Check it out in the videos below!

FORD LOGOS: A History

July 9, 2015 By Lamarque Ford Leave a Comment

61B242F4-1372-1646-96EE-C95928BA658F

1903-1909
This script lettering was first used on company correspondence, before being put on the first production car, the Model A. It was designed by C. Harold Will. The art nouveau border that was included on the logo was very fashionable at the time.

1909-1912
The script that was written in this elongated form was known as the “script with wings”. It was used up until 1912, when the current font that we can see today on Ford vehicles was born.

1912
This writing appears to be influenced by Henry Ford’s own signature.

1912-1927
The oval that was added was first used in 1907 by British agents Perry, Thornton, and Schreiber-predecessors of the original Ford Motor Company Limited of Great Britain. This oval presented Ford as being the “hallmark for reliability and economy”.

1927-2003
From 1927 onward, the use of this logo was deemphasized and then dropped all together. Overtime the oval that had encircled the Ford logo in times past got slimmer and more refined. Other than the standard blue color that had always been used, alternate colors of black and white were also tested out around 1961.

2003-present
Today the Ford logo still has that same iconic blue oval, but has been made to look more modernized with a silver lining around its font and a white hue added to the lettering. It is a very simple, yet elegant design that was created on the 100th Anniversary of Ford Motor Company. The “Centennial Blue Oval” is widely considered as one of the most successful car logos in the world.
