I prefer the GP moto. The logo looks cleaner and understated. I think the yellow doesnt help with the Nitro

Seconded on the GPmoto, logo is nice and "Nitro" sounds like something halfords would sell to the boy racers.

I like the GPmoto logo, but not the name so much - so you'd get lost in Google. GPnitro?

Thank you guys, i agree with you all, I made the nitro logo months ago, but I never felt like it was the way to go, so I made this GPmoto logo on Saturday and I think it looks a lot more professional.
I am considering other endings for GP (Grand Prix)
GPexhaust - maybe too long
GPnitro- no relation to motorcycles
Any other ideas?

Be careful with the GP MOTO idea Dornan are very protective. Unless you can come up with an airtight reason for using it then they'll hunt you down

Totally agree with you, But GP could stand for something else,like Great Performance as an example instead of Grand Prix.
Thank you

Looks like nobody likes NITRO exhausts, I am a bit surprised and really glad that I posted this now.
Thank you guys for voting!

GPMoto is definitely the one I would go for of the two as well.
I'd almost be interested in a bit of info about your company to be honest! What's the company currently called / what sort of services do you provide? I'd assume it's exhausts, but is it full systems, end cans, custom fabrication etc? Got any links?

I would say GP moto or a variation of. As chucca said make it air tight against dorna
So GP moto performance parts would cover you.

I think Dorna might have a good case against you as they could argue that GPMoto is too similar to MotoGP which they have totally locked down, especially as the thing you are selling is a product associated with motorcycles (as opposed to say a general practitioners based at a motorway service stations - now there's an idea)

I'm not in any way a legal expert on this sort of thing, but I do often have to tell companies that they cannot use the word Ashes in the context of cricket, the outline of the urn that looks similar in any way to the Ashes Urn, an outline that looks even vaguely like the Father Time weather vane etc and we aren't half as hot on this stuff as Dorna appear to be.

The nitro logo looks like something very tacky you would find being sold on eBay from China, the GPmoto looks better but it smacks of a MotoGP rip-off.
It doesn't give you a unique brand of your own and it will potentially only appeal to the power ranger set.
You need a brand which is unique, sets you apart and appeals across the full range of motorcycle owners.

Thank you for help guys, you made me realise that there could be a lot of problems associated with the name GPmoto.
I have designed 2 more logos and it would be great to get some feedback on the two.
Which one is better?
Thank you for your help!

I prefer the gr moto logo. The curves work well. The ALTO is hard to read from the logo and make me think of a Playstation keypad

The GRmoto is definately better, whats the significance of the Italian tricolour though?

CanZ is neat.
GRmoto is a pretty cool logo. Except the italian colour. I think just leaving that bit out would make it more striking.
Failing that, in the current political climate, red white and blue... :-({|=
and there appears to be an italian shop already with that name (and a strikingly similar logo)

I agree with gr Moto. The tricolour detracts from the logo.
I've seen a similar typeface for the gr one used before and it's easily identifiable
