Chris,
In regards to the list sticker, you're right on the dot concerning the
Fahrvergnugen man, but like you said, nothing to be upset about. Anyways,
thanks for the link to cluboval. I've been checking out the site and I
definitely like reading about the different "VW of the month" winners.

It seems that your designer copied a part of the copyrighted Fahrvergnugen
symbol. I can't find it on the vanagon.com website at the moment, but if I
recall correctly it features the Fahrvergnugen man sitting in a Vanagon
outline.
I don't think it's anything to be upset about. The Fahrvergnugen symbol is
as much a part of the Vanagon charisma as Mr. Bubblehead is of the vintage
VWs. If you go to www.clubOVAL.com you'll see a 'vintage' Fahrvergnugen
shirt that was a part of the '91 spring break celebrations. This picture
won't be up for long since I change it frequently.

I thought the List Sticker was based off of the sticker shown on the
jcwhitney site. If I recall, this design has been around for quite some
time. Isn't it(the one on the jcwhitney site) the original Fahrvergnugen
design/add campaign from the late 80's/early 90's?
