This is a feature that has been provided by Content Manager for AC and only works if you have it installed.
It shows origin icons next to the cars/tracks in CM and makes it easier to locate them.
Since very few icons are provided by modders, I decided to produce some for my personal use. Other people started to get interested and suggested to share, so I did.
Location should be here:
c:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\AcTools Content Manager\Data(User)\origin icons
This is how they look in CM CONTENT tab, original if I could find them, others made up to my own taste.
To modders in general: if you happen not to like the icon I made for your mods, feel free to send me one to your own taste.
Use it as it is or make changes as much as you want, make your own logo's, make better ones, whatever you like. 250 x 250 png files do the trick.
Note:
Lots of mods were over time reworked, updated etc by several people, so you might see a car or track that in your opinion needs another icon. Feel free to make changes at will. This is just what I am using for myself.
To change you just have to open the included list .json file and made whatever changes you like.
Text editors like Notepad (++) can be used, but be careful. It's not a text file, but a .json file. If you mess up things (like I did the first time) you might end up with no icons at all...
I will make further changes and icon improvements, even on demand (PM).
The icons (as far as available) are visible in CARS / TRACKS and also in Content/Miscellaneous/Apps (thanks for the tip @Blamer) ...
The tool was provided by Ilja (xFab) from CM, I just added a lot of icons for my own use and decided to share them here on RD.
So, up to you to use them or not. If you do, enjoy !

I know one team that was supposed to have been involved/participating in the development of a car, but that's about it... Or am I missing your point ?
