Not to be Debbie-downer, but as a long time member of the infamous R Gruppe, I know that they/we are extremely protective of the name and logo. Unfortunately your design with the 6, especially with the R hits both. I won't rat you out, but don't be surprised if there at best is a warning and at worst, legal proceedings. Just giving you something to chew on and perhaps save you some unnecessary grief.

This goes for any corporation or club with resources. If you used the Boy Scouts of America logo instead, they would probably come knocking too and most wouldn't accuse them of being a bunch of asshats protecting their brand. Same thing.

I'd avoid the R because it seems like a 'me too' and could cause legal issues down the line. Flipping the engine direction to give kudos to the mid engined configuration would be appropriate.

I'm in awe of your design talents, keep it up!

I'd go for a T-shirt (L) with a small '4' logo on the left chest and larger logo on the rear

... and a couple of window stickers

Are the names/emblem designs that are being discussed on this thread really copyright/trademark protected?

I've done some more digging and it seems the logo is trademarked. It's a very specific definition so it leaves quite a bit open for variations. I'll be doing some revisions....don't want to upset anyone....

IMO, you just need to tweak the design / color scheme slightly.....maybe something along these lines.
