GM owns the brand and the copyright. They call it a Flowtie...that's what it is. The marketing department did not come up with it. The engineering team did once the realized the cooling impact not having the Bowtie on the grill had on the Z/28. So, since it has been called a Flowtie by GM and specifically designed to allow more air to flow into the cooling system....it is a Flowtie. This should not bother anyone who understands how it came about and has been embraced by GM and the Camaro community.
