Does anybody specifically know the origin of this?

There are variations of it, but I'm looking to understand its beginnings...

I don't know, but having a claw scar means your car lost, doesn't it?

Maybe the cat scratched itself (except the pictured is an RT). Sort of a demonstration of crazy blood lust. Its mean and scary crazy. Not something the faint of hart would want to play with.

I think it looks too much like the Monster energy drink logo.

Its humble beginnings took form in a trailer park meth lab break room... the origin of most tasteless modifications.

Gentlemen and ladies,

As is typical, I asked or framed my question poorly...

Who owns any potential Trademark or rights to the icon?

I'm sorry, but every time I see those dumb-ass "cat scratches" across the headlights all I can think of is the equally dumb-ass "eyelashes" morons put on cars too...

In all seriousness...it looks to me like someone just modified the marks on the Monster logo just enough not to get sued for copyright infringement. There are many, many places selling them on the web. I just did a search for "claw scratch car decal" and got tons of returns.

I can't find a trademark under anything. The claw is named Cat or bear and most anything that can claw.
So a version of the Cat scratch probaly can be used and done by any one.

I believe it's supposed to look like the Hellcat under the hood is trying to claw its way out.
I have no idea who originally penned the idea, but it was out there very quickly after Hellcat launch. I've heard of no copyright infringement lawsuits or original owner of the design.
