So I was working on my “When Life Gives You Lemons” t shirt design from way back, and I had an idea. Is there a way I can modify the Yugo logo:
to look like a lemon, which looks like this, in case you somehow don’t know:
I was thinking I would just make it yellow and add the little nubs on the ends, and give it some leaves. Actually, now that I think of it, would that be violating any copyright laws? Because Yugo hasn’t been around for quite a while, right?

Basically what I was going to do, as long as it doesn’t infringe copyrights

FIAT owns Yugo, actually.

I think they own Zastava, but I don’t know about Yugo itself...

I was thinking about Yugo the other day. I wonder if they suffered more because of a lack of parts availabilty (the country split up had a war not long after they were first introduced to the maket here) Or if it was just a poorly conceived and even more poorly exececuted idea for a car.....I’m leaning for the second reason, personally.

Yugo is owned by Zastava, thus is owned by FIAT. They apparently made cars called Yugo’s up until about 2008.

From what I’ve heard, it’s the second for sure.

More than anything they suffered from high consumer expectations. In the 1980s we got accustomed to high-quality small cars with decent performance and exceptional durability, courtesy of Japan. The Yugo wasn’t up to those standards; it was a 1970’s Fiat in every way (oddly, that’s what I liked about them (I owned 25 of them over the years)). If it had been brought here in 1976 rather than 1986 it would have been competitive.

Maybe, but even in the 70’s, of which I remember a few years, if you had a new car and it broke down in the first 1000 miles, you would have had some serious problems in the eyes of consumers.

That’s the reputation, but the vast majority didn’t do that. They led sad neglected lives devoid of oil changes and died of neglect. So the car’s a piece of shit because it didn’t even go 40,000 miles before the engine blew.

My friend had a new one that broke down almost daily. It wasn’t a matter of neglect.
