This is a real badge used on 1964-65 Canadian Type 3s.

The emblem on the site used that badge.

Hey Everett, has VW ever approached you to stop using their trademark badge?

If not, do you think they're just too ignorant of their own history to know?

I don't believe it is copyrighted based on everything I have seen regarding this badge.

Since your ts and their ts mean different things I don't you have to worry.

A quick search on USPTO.GOV suggests that this is not an active Trademark. Ev, consider moving on this, we don't want another "Snorklestang" incident.
