Alright..... I am going to rant about this for 5 minutes....... then I'm done I SWEAR lol
I've been painting sim cars for the better part of 20 years and in all that time I always secretly dreaded doing Gordon's Dupont cars. No matter how perfectly I felt I depicted them something always just looked.....
OFF and I could never for the life of me figure out what was causing me to feel like that. I mean, I did all of the photo research I could. Grabbed all of the correct logos straight from the companies themselves. But there was still that unease.....
WELL NOW I KNOW WHAT IT IS!!!!!!!
They used a G-Damn completely unique Dupont logo on the Motorsports side of things that is sooooo close to the Commercially used logo that I never registered the difference until today. EFF ME. Why on earth would Dupont DO that?!?!?!?
The Dupont logo that was used for EVERYTHING prior to the change to Axalta has 'DUPONT' inside the blue oval with all of the letters having a slight fisheye effect to match the curve of the oval.
The Dupont logo
EXCLUSIVE to motorsports has SOME of the letters with this fisheye perspective
BUT for some God forsaken reason then chose to the leave the 'U' 'P' and 'O' completely squared up without the fisheye perspective......
WHAT. THE. HELL. DUPONT.
You've subliminally screwed with my head since the 90s with this!
Oh,
but I'm on to your tricks now! NEVER AGAIN! lol
