New build, "Name That Truck" submissions requested
 
And so it begins. The process is under way with a 1997 Chevy S-10. The "race truck" will be GT/TB with 293 horse 327.

The beginning to end photos will posted.

My request, submit suggestion for a truck name.

Michael Beard has our "Team Woodfin" logo ready and once a name is selected Michael will do that also.

Let the brain storming begin. If I select one of the names listed on this site that person will receive a valuable prize.

Larry,

I'd say the simplest name would be the best? "Shop Truck"

I know your vehicle is a truck and not a station wagon, but how about this???

"Family Truck-ster"

A little play on family owned and a dragster or rather drag race truck.

I'll try again. How about "Tex-S-Capade". Where do I "pickup" (no pun intended) my prize? Thank you... MB.

so far, this suggestion by a friend is my favorite

"A Perfect 10"

This will give y'all a mark to shoot for.

Good Job Dale! I I like that a lot. I expect Michael Beard can work with that. This is Super Strong in the running :)

Re: New build, "Name That Truck" submissions requested
 
I expect the "S" could be changed just enough [if needed] to not cause a problem

You cannot sell it. Period. If it is presented in such a way that it would or could be confused with the D.C. Comics brand, then yes, It would be infringement. But it's a logo on a drag truck.
The Chevy "bow tie" is a trademarked symbol as is "HEMI". It's different, but racers paint them all over their cars without ever thinking all the time.

In the end, it all depends on who sees it and how they think. Do lawyers frequent your home track?

Variations of color and layout or font can work around this issue.

Maybe wrapping it in Chevy "S" 10 in some way. I can play with this over the week if you want. I never worked in the industry but I have design training.

Dale, we will race NHRA Division 4 Lucas series plus two NHRA nationals in Texas [Houston & Dallas]

In addition, some IHRA and their National in San Antonio. So yes, there is potential to be noticed.

I think the concept is way cool, opens the door to all manor of play on words.

"Faster than a speeding bullet" - "leap tall buildings" "stronger than a locomotive" etc.

It you want to work on it that is fine. Please understand, Michael Beard will produce the "decal". so if you are willing to give him the design to produce I am good with that.

Michael has already produced several logos for us and I want to continue with a great relationship.

Since you're already working with a commercial designer on this, why don't you take the idea into consideration along with the other contributions here and work with Michael on the design and production of the logo. He would be best suited to handle the legal implications of using the symbol anyway. I have training in design and photography, but they are hobbies for me.

Dale, seems reasonable and will do. I truly appreciate the idea and at this time it is my favorite of the suggestion.
