Hello everyone.
I’m PJ and you may remember some of my work from Forza Motorsport 4, Forza Motorsport 6, Forza Horizon 3 and Forza Motorsport 7. I focus on original and “tribute” race designs, primarily painting the cars that I use most in-game.
Real name PJ Tierney, I was a freelance designer and illustrator before joining the videogame industry full-time in 2013 to work in Community Management, Social Media and Content Production. When I moved from Ireland to the UK for the job the only luxury items in my baggage at the time were my Xbox 360 and a copy of Forza Motorsport 4.
Prior to 2013 I was a freelance designer and illustrator, focusing primarily on motorsport-themed artwork. I’m probably most well-known in that regard for my Formula 1 Posters, as well as the Pocket Liveries blog, a collection of minimal mobile phone wallpapers based on famous racing designs. I’ve worked with people from Red Bull Racing and Top Gear Magazine and have had my work featured by various publications and websites over the past few years. I still create new projects when I have the time to do so, but as you can imagine I am very busy these days and don’t always have an opportunity to put the hours in to creating something from scratch. Forza fans may recognise the Horizon Festival Route Map I created in early 2018, a real-life map based on Forza Horizon 3’s Australia.
For me the Forza series has always been the perfect combination of my 2 main interests: creative work and motorsport. My first Forza title was Forza Motorsport 2 but I didn’t get heavily involved in the series until Forza Motorsport 4, when I pushed myself to become a better livery painter, tuner and racer. As a racer I am very competitive, and focus on being fast and clean, while also intending to be a formidable opponent in online lobbies. I have raced competitively in the past on numerous websites, culminating in over 300 organised races and 3 Realish Racing Drivers’ Championship titles. In 2018 I founded Casual Racing Mondays, a club for sensible and respectful drivers of all skill levels who meet up every week to race online.
If you want to take on my Drivatar or simply make it easier to find my designs feel free to follow my Gamertag; I look forward to seeing you all out on track. When I do race online it is primarily in the Multiplayer Hoppers, you are welcome to join at any time.
This design was a collaborative effort between myself and Xbox DACH to help celebrate the launch of Forza Motorsport 7.

Any logos or Vinyl Groups that I create of a high enough standard to be shared can also be found by using the keyword PJT or my Gamertag. Feel free to download them for your own cars, or trace them so that you have your own unlocked versions. Each logo has been extensively researched so as to match the real logo’s colours and dimensions as best as possible. I have also written a guide on my creation method.
