So they are saying I can't even use the image of the bus ( or any other Vw vehicle). It's not just the emblem they are flagging but the actual shape of the bus. Ridiculous!
I'm emailing Gregory later to let him know that this seems rather drastic and we are not making them to resale them we are making them for our own personal use.
I'll let you all know how that goes.
