+ | The most common way to use a marque is in the design phase. Your designs have a major impact on image ratings. So it is a wise idea to utilize certain marques for certain types of vehicles. To do this, you need to select which marque has ownership of a design before you complete the design. Design ownership also plays a critical role in the value of a marque when selling it, what a marque gets when you spin them off, and what the game discontinues when you end a marque. | ||

+ | The included images show the location of the Marque selection dropdowns (#1) in an Assisted designer and Advanced designer systems. The locations are similar for both vehicle and component design systems. | ||
