    Go for the Fuel Anzas! I was looking at them the other day and like 'em a lot.

    My question is where did you get the decal? Does some on the forum here sell them?

    A member here did the artwork and I think ( bad memory...done so many!!) its one of the ones I got made up..
    ....and the decals were given out at Moab at cost..

    .....with any profit going to this site.

    Seems the artwork has been 'borrowed' recently...()

    ....and a they are being sold for personal profit here now.

    IMO...

    I asked Cyrk years ago for permission to use his design to make my own vinyl sticker. I believe he even gave me the correct type file for the vinyl cutter. Fellow VXer, Mdwyer has a vinyl cutter and was nice enough to let me make a decal with his equipment. Mine did say "ProjectZU" above the logo years ago, then just "ZU" and then I lost the "Z" when I vinyl wrapped the VX last Spring. I'm deciding if I'll add new lettering or remove the logo.

    I agree with you Jo, even though Cyrk didn't really seem to care too much when I asked. In the recent scenario, I figured it was more paying for someone to make the sticker rather than paying for the logo. I think it would have been courteous of the seller to ask Cryk first and I'm sure he would have been given the thumbs up anyways.

    As its for profit..Cyrk should get a cut IMO.
    .

    I talked to the guy selling them, offered to get them made up cheap...as long as Cyrk was OK with it..
    ..and suggested he made a contribution to the site as its essentially VX forum/family artwork.
    No joy... !!

    Its more about personal profit from anothers work, that tweaks me.
    Its the photographer in me, and maybe I'm a tad sensitive..
    .. but taking others work, putting your own 'sample' watermark on it..
    ....and selling for your own profit....

    ... irks me!

    Done venting..sorry for the thread jack

    I didn't know the whole story. That sucks and knowing the back story, I wish I didn't buy two.

    Yep leadfoot, I'm the crazy one.

    Just a hunch, i'm sure whatever rims I get will have some rock rash by the end of.... May or so.
