Oh, that reminds of how it took me awhile to draw a pretzel correctly. I don't really have any recent examples, not really drawing pretzels in my day to day.

Yeah can’t blame you. Pretzels are tricky to draw. The shape is distinctive but complicated sometimes.

The line down the middle is correct. The other version is mercedes benz.

Some people do steal hood ornaments and wear them as a charm on a necklace.

I don't know too much about your character but you could turn it into a joke about him wearing a stolen hood ornament. Either he stole it or he bought it off of someone.

Was Mercedes even around in 1971? If not, Wellington probably got it ie time travel or he broke the necklace

Yep, definitely a Mercedes logo xD and yeah, it totally was there in 1971! They had this logo since somewhere around 1920s

TBH, when I saw this in your drawings I thought you were just simplifying the peace sign because if you add more lines it will just look like a black dot. I wouldn't bother changing it in images where the characters look small, maybe only in close-ups.

The idea of wearing a stolen Mercedes hood ornament is hilarious though xD Although the way you draw it it doesn't look like a Mercedes logo, the lenghts of the lines are different.

At least it's the symbol which other people will mistake just as much - drawing the peace hand sign with palm pointed inward would be a bigger mistake.

The symbol is derived from the semaphore signals for "N" and "D", the first letters in "nuclear disarmament."
