Ask esmarkey....he must have found it...
This was taken from the Chevrolet website:
"GM, the GM Logo, Chevrolet, the Chevrolet Logo, and the slogans, emblems, vehicle model names, vehicle body designs and other marks appearing in this document are the trademarks and/or service marks of General Motors Corporation, its subsidiaries, affiliates or licensors."
Wouldn't it fall under vehicle body designs? That is...unless you designed the HHR itself.

Is it really that difficult to ask and say thank you?
WOW, Is it really that difficult to ask Tim (TkHHR) for information on the Logo. I have never met or talked to the man but I can tell you this, He must be a very kind and giving person. A class act!!! Between him and Kevin they were able to come up with my Signature below to my total surprise (I had no idea they were working on it for me)! 
Tim & Kevin, I am so thankful and appreciate all your hard work that you did. I do look forward to meeting Tim and others at a SoCal event soon. Maybe I can become a distant SoCal Member and get one of those very cool HHR logos that Tim designed (as a panel version please)

All of the HHR outlined logo's when given permission by equity management need to have the "TM" properly displayed. even on your web sites. The socal version is slightly different from the GM image and theirs is a TM through GM. So yes you would need permission from Socal's to use a copy of theirs even on a different "club" version. That is what was explained to me.

Shoot, now I have to go and make a whole bunch of little tiny TM's for everybody.

Chad, this is a respect thing. Tim made his own logo that is now being copied, no, there is no trademark. Disappointing that a fellow HHR owner like yourself would react like this. Give the guy is due respect.....It is not legal...it is about what is right. Todd (Uma)

And I think you boys are missing the big picture here. it's like the Moderator here said is all about COURTESY and BTW the Moderator is NOT from So Cal, and because Tim did generate those silhouettes I think it's called PLAGIARISM!
