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?
