I'm all for the incognito approach not even graphics, no attracting unwelcome attention.
But if I were to have a slogan I'd prefer to have something fairly generic, ie could be applied to many circumstances such as;
WILD CAMPING
"Independence, In A Responsible Way"
I think mentioning tyre tracks and leaving nothing behind would encourage some interfering jokers to argue the point, as unfortunately deep tyre tracks and rubbish are found at some Wild sites.

Too right... I wouldn't want to be knocked up by a forest ranger... is that where bush babies come from? :lol-053:

There's your answer Phil !!! Forget the psuedo-nostalgia thingy about 'footprints in the sand' et.al. and knock us up some quasi-official 'Forest Ranger' and 'Council Officer' Stickers. That should keep the beggars thinking (at least until we make good our escape). Alternatively, [memo to self; wait for the flack David] ... What about one that simply states - 'Dale Farm Veteran 2011 - Move Me On If You Can Afford To'.
Just a thought ... Ho Hum!! Hehehe.

Cease and Desist ... I get embarrassed easily, [he lied], besides which - I could not even consider funding the Defence Barristers that THEY have in this case. Hmmmm. One wonders ....

I used to know a guy who bought an ex university mini bus, it was a bit shabby but still had the uni sign writing on the sides when he acquired it. He added the words "Geology Field Survey Team" (or similar) in a matching typeface

why do you have that user name ? is it to be recognised as a vindiboy associate?,do you feel happy to be seen as part of that group?
i don't like to be labelled or badged to cliques or groups have smiled to myself about stickers,tee shirts and mugs that were abound on here a couple of years ago BUT i like the simple idea of this one to have in the windscreen as recognition to each other
BUT ITS NOT MANDATORY

I pass lots of vans on the road and wonder if they are members, this is really the minimum I can think of that fits the bill.
The slogan is not important, however having an "ethos type slogan" that helps people understand that we care about the locations we stop at would be nice.

in my case.
'IF THE VANS NOT A-ROCKIN, AND YOUR UNDER 30,
FEMALE, SINGLE, PRETTY THEN PLEASE COME A KNOCKIN!'

I'm not a great sticker-user but if we are going to have one then I like the slogan that is currently on the header: "take away nothing but memories, leave no trace behind" or something like it. I know it isn't original but it might help to counter the image that some members of the public have of us as freeloading litter-bugs. Some of the suggestions being made here - even though many of them are in joke - only help to reinforce that prejudice and, like Caeser's wife, we have to be above reproach if we want to be left in peace.

All the suggestions so far are hackneyed and/or cliched ...
I am not a sticker enthusiast either - but were I to stick one on the van I'd prefer it just to have the green W and nothing else.
That way, fellow members can identify each other, and if a member of the public asks what it's for, all can be explained and we can all act as ambassadors.
If you think about AA or RAC stickers for example, they don't carry a slogan or anything else. It's just a 'badge' ... (a very well known one I'll grant you, so it perhaps needs nothing else).

'Be considerate of others.' is all that is needed! It covers more than just leaving a site as you found it but also implies that you should consider whether your wild camping spot is actually suitable.
I'm all for wild camping when there is a suitable spot, but I do get a bit frustrated at the rather selfish attitude of a minority, for whom parking on a Spanish residential street for instance (often along with a larger number of 'vans) seems acceptable.
Ask yourself: "If I lived here, would I be happy with a motorhome(s) parked outside my house?"
