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. Durby

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?
