Default Got bored at work

Well, stressed out is a better way of putting it, and sometimes I doodle to relieve stress. All the talk of the "secret mid engine" Corvette and will it be called the Zora or the ZR-1 got me playing around with the two names. This is what I came up with...I suppose it could be BOTH



By the way, I'm relatively new here...go easy on me if everyone already figured out this connection. I can at least still pretend that I'm clever.

It wasn't a home run, but your thinking was interesting.

Clever the way you combined the two names, but visually way too busy.

I just hope its not called Zora. I get the connection, but it sounds like the bad guy in a B rated horror movie.

I'll give you a Z for effort

Kind of like the 3rd one. Try modifying it by making the dash and 1 in red as well. Keep the "O" black and make it smaller, maybe touching the top and bottom Z lines on the left, and the center of the vertical R line on the right. This will also make it centered vertically.

WTH, not a bad thing to screw around with on a Friday afternoon.

Maybe he got "wood" instead of "board".
