I wonder if this is licensed by GM. I would not mind putting this on my car trailer. The one year I went to corvette's at Carlisle and was looking for someone to make me something like this. I walked up to a guy and he told me he could not do it because of GM. He then pointed over to a guy hack sawing a golf cart. It was a brand new golf cart shaped like a C5 corvette. The guy was cutting up the front end because someone for GM was there and the guy was not authorized to use the emblem and shape.
Interesting. It's a bit off (particularly the angle of the flagpoles), but this is one of the more difficult emblems to mimic.
Not really that hard. Most signwriting software can take a Jpeg or other image and do an "autotrace" on it to come up with the colors and shapes.
Standard images for signwriting are .EPS as they have the color info and are scaleable without degradation like a jpeg.
I have done a couple of things for my car club. We have our logo on placards we use at shows and one of our members has a 50th logo on his wall at home

GM will chase anyone using their intellectual property to make money, such as the Corvette golf cart.(and I don't really blame them) That is probably why the crossed flags emblem is "not quite right".
Car Clubs are supposed to ask GM for permission to use any and all logos before using them on club literature, websites etc.but I am pretty sure they will not persue the not for profit organisations who are helping to promote their product.
