Fact you need to know about Chevrolet's emblem

When I browsed and commented on Paul Tan's entry on "CONFIRMED : DRB-HICOM and Chevrolet part ways" (http://paultan.org/), there was an issue on Chevy's emblem.

Some say it's a cross, made some muslims in Malaysia refuse to purchase and park the Chevy in their carporch.

And some say it's a bowtie, except the color is gold (instead of black).

My impression : Haiyoo..Which one is true??

Here's the fact:

• Did you know that Chevrolet emblem is actually a design of bowtie? (many claims it was a cross, make some muslims feel offended)
  
• The emblem was designed by William C. Durant, co-founder of Chevrolet Motor Car Company in 1913.


• Do you know where he got the idea? From a hotel wallpaper in Paris!


• The design for the emblem never change until today! See the first ad of Chevrolet in Washington Post for the October 2, 1913:

Hope this will clear all the speculations on this innocent emblem.
