Detail: The Californian skateboarding shoes brand "Vans", formerly known as Van Doren Rubber Company, introduced their "Off The Wall"-logo in the mid-1970s. Perhaps they found the "Voss" emblem inspiring, and it certainly worked out well for them that the German typewriter manufacturer disappeared from the market in the 1960s.

Fellow typospherians, may I introduce myself? I'm Brancaleone da Norcia, Typewriter Hunter and TWDB Patron from Germany. My main focus is collecting portable machines from the 1950s to the 1970s. I particularly appreciate good industrial design and durable construction. Many Olivetti models inspire my enthusiasm. I'm pretty good at touch typing, enjoying it a lot – it's very contemplative. At last, I have a particular fondness for pangrams and am always happy to discover new ones. Looking forward to get in touch with you, kind regards, Brancaleone.
