Why not a clear sticker with the four rings in silver, except the last 
one made into a Q in the Audi font in canary yellow, and underneath the 
rings in red italics:  "Vorsprung Durch Technik".  I'd say a sticker no 
larger than 3x5", and everyone willing places it in the same location, 
on either the bottom driver's side of the rear window or the driver's 
side rear door window.
