Hi Michael! What do you say to the fact that; I was in 1987, came up with the original design of logos - which later became the emblem of companies such as Hyundai, Lexus, Mazda!?

and what do you say about the fact that several companies (including company Hyundai) copy of the original single design - prototype sports car invented by me in 2005? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=279267168823404&set=a.101414929941963.1106.100002203680645&type=3&theater

And yet, what do you think - this is just my fiction or truth - that a few full-time designers (qualified design) in 1990 used car design ideas - ideas invented not educated Russian teenager (me)?https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=703598819723568&set=o.22893372268&type=1&theater&notif_t=like
