VW Emblem

Copyright Jeff Ball 2010

A few weeks ago, I visited a Volkswagon yard an I came across this car. I have a long history with Volkswagons and I just couldn’t help myself , I had to take some shots.

The VW emblem is missing on this car, which isn’t that unusual. The symbol has been popular among teenagers, rappers and VW lovers alike.

The logo was the result of an office competition to see come up with a logo. The winner of the competition (who won 50 Marks for his troubles) was an engineer named Franz Reimspiess (the same man who perfected the engine for the Beetle in the 1930’s).
