Just because american "hippie" (wrong description, s/b "swinger") men didn't notice the emblem on the grill, doesn't make Volvo lacking or not on the ball. The void of interest or notice from the media/public only represents the absence of awareness & understanding amongst masses. Volvo company philosophy etc... may not have been a match for the market climate in the 60's or 70's. You don't change your company focus or path just to appease a negligable and very variable market share (i.e.trends/fads), if so, then Volvo (world's largest indie auto maker until 1998) would have gone the way of GM...Oh yea, go do some research on greek and/or ancient symbols. You can't necessarily copywrite or what-not a shape or symbol, it is the created conseptual design or patterning that makes the logo unique, thus protectable. Good luck & thank you...
