So how do you think that in 1990 a few full-time designers (qualified design) used an idea for car design invented by an uneducated Russian teenager (me)? This is just my fiction or truth.
And what do you think about the fact that several companies (including Hyundai) copied the original single design, the prototype sports car that I invented in 2005?
Hello Michael! What do you think about this fact? In 1987, I created the original design for the logo that later became the emblem of companies such as Hyundai, Lexus, and Mazda.
nice
Great story!
A fascinating listen. We love the beautifully designed architecture on Regent Street, London W1.
