The Audi emblem needs one more ring, then I’d believe it.

Three rings indicate tri-power?

I thought that was the new Chrysler/Fiat/Peugeot logo. Then needs a circle around it to say “global”, like the Toyota circle. I think I’l register that before they get it.

Wasn’t three rings the logo for Ballantine beer?

Yes, the **3 Ring** symbol was the logo of NJ’s Ballantine Beer and Ale!

And, just to clarify matters of an automotive nature, the “4 ring” logo was the emblem of **Auto Union** , which represented the marriage of 4 German marques–Wanderer, Audi, Horch, and DKW.  
After the other marques ceased to exist, Audi appropriated that logo, and they applied it to their vehicles.

Which, coincidentally, is what this guy was drinking when he took a Sharpie to his car. 😉

Looks great, probably increases the value of the car.
