Does anyone know the history behind the Corvette emblem? I'm assuming the flag part of it is from racing involvement, but what about the other half of the emblem ... family crest or something?

The other part of the flag was originally going to be an American flag until it was discovered that you can't use the flag in advertisng. The symbol (I don't know the name of it) was actually taken from some wallpaper that was on a hotel room where the designer (I can't remember his name) was staying.
This is a true story, although I didn't tell it very well.
