 Marques are additional vehicle brands your company owns. You have complete control and operation of these brands, and they act as part of your company even though you sell them under a different name and logo. Marques are additional vehicle brands your company owns.

 Another situation where Marques can be helpful is if you want to separate brands by region or if you want your marque's production to be limited to factories they own. For both of these situations, you can use marques to shape production and shipping on a regional level. For example, creating an American and European marque and only selling the American Marque vehicles in America and the European Marque vehicles in Europe will prevent cross-ocean shipping and allow variance in the models' ratings and specs. Another situation where Marques can be helpful is if you want to separate brands by region or if you want your marque's production to be limited to factories they own.

 +To discontinue a marque, select it from the list and then click the "Discontinue" button. A new window will open. In this window, you can also choose to discontinue the factories and branches that the marque owns. In addition to those options, discontinuing the marque will end the production of all their vehicles and components. When you're ready to end the marque, click the "Discontinue" button in the window.

 +
 +If you want to restore a marque, you can do that too. Check the checkbox called "Show Discontinued Marques" (#1) in the Marque panel of the Stock Broker window. By enabling this toggle, the game will display discontinued marques in the marque list. Select the marque you want to restore, and then click the "Restore Marque" button (#2). If you do not see this button, the marque is active.
 +
 +Restoring a marque will not restore discontinued vehicles or components. Nor will it reopen any closed factories or branches.

 +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.

 +You can also assign marques ownership of Factories and Branches. This increases the resale value of the marque and is important if you choose to include them when spin-off the company. Factory ownership is a factor in a specific autoproduction setting that you can use to limit the production of a marque's models to only the factories they own.

 +Both of these pictures show you the location to assign ownership of a factory and branch. Use the dropdown box (#1) to select the owner. You can find these settings in the View Factory and View Branch panels, respectively. See the [[gamemanual:gui_world_map#view_details|World Map]] page for more details.

 +You can also assign marque ownership to your racing teams and racing series efforts. This is a great way to boost the performance and racing image of a marque.
  
 +To do this, click the Team Focus or Series Focus button (#1) for the race series. Then in the Focus panel, choose the market from the dropdown (#2). Finally, be sure to save your changes (#3).

 +As mentioned previously, you can use a marque's factory ownership to restrict production of that marque's vehicles to only those factories using the Auto Production system. With Auto Production enabled, visit a factory production screen via the World Map or Mega Menu, and then select the "Limit Production To Factory Owner Marque" checkbox (#1). This will limit factory production to only vehicles of the marque that owns the factory. With this, you can set up a regional or economic demographic production system utilizing the marque system.
