Ha! Yeah, this was for a one-off project. I'd hardly ever use it in print for anything major — for obvious reasons. But it is my last name and it was fun for this one gig.

Yeah, I'd have to recommend not using this. There's the obvious- you could get sued if it ever showed up on the radar at Ford, but beyond that, you need to think about what it says about you as a designer. It doesn't take any creativity to copy someone else's logo (whether it's famous or not) %26 it lets everyone know that you don't see a problem with including %22borrowed%22 designs in your work. If I was hiring a designer %26 saw this in their portfolio (or -God forbid- on their letterhead) I wouldn't hire them. I get that it's supposed to be obvious and humorous, but it raises some concerns about professionalism.

You guys crack me up. This is not on my business cards, web site, or anything else.
