hey, thanks Bill! that really clears up the Fratzog thing.

since my 62 Dodge wagon has fenders donated from a 62 Polara, I've  
always wanted to get more
Fratzogs to put on my car. I think it's a great design, I even  
designed several Fratzog decal designs or
logos of my own. like the Fratzog cross Gary posted <http:// 
1962to1965mopar.ornocar.org/ml-fratzog.html>
thanks Gary. there is a lot of variants of the Fratzog, I've seen  
used in ads and brochures and on the sides of race cars.

and I've noticed that Mitzubishi uses a similar 3 triad design, and  
so does the Klingon empire. (o:
