say whether the symbol was introduced with this regulation. It shows the suggested Ausweis (see bottom left) but as you can see, that one doesn't have any symbol at all which

In a section of the regulation it is stated that the Gebiete were to pass their requirements for Ausweise up to the RJF Kulturamt who would then procure them. This would mean that the Kulturamt would have decided on the final design so it's

unclear why the Ausweis shown at the link has a different front cover design. It's likely I think that the Ausweis design was finalised at some point
after the introduction of the Veranstaltungsring.
The regulation mentions that the introduction of the 'Veranstaltungsring der Hitler-Jugend' on this date was a consolidation and centralisation of the work previously carried out by some of the HJ Gebiete who had started cultural programmes for the youth prior to this so there may well be Ausweise dating to before 1938.
The design with a DAF cogwheel makes sense Jo as the Veranstaltungsring der HJ was a joint effort with 'Kraft Durch Freude'. This agreement was formalised in March 1938.
The regulation states that it was permissible for the Gebiete to print additional Ausweise for specific parts of the Veranstaltungsring (Theaterring, Konzertring, Filmring) so we should see some of those around today too but I haven't personally come across any.
The RJF Kulturamt also produced promotional posters for the Veranstaltungsring (top left)
