Copyright – I Love London – A Storm Brewing
I don’t know whether this has been posted before so apologies if it has!
We probably all recognise the printed shirts with the designs:
I Love London (Love = Heart)
I Love Wales
I Love Cardiff
I Love Scotland
I Love Edinburgh
I Love Ireland
I Love Dublin
and many more ……Well, London Icons Limited have gone and successfully copyrighted the lot! With the run up to the Olympics, seems they might pull in a few bob.
These shirts have been available for years – I remember buying a couple for my kids when we visited London years ago.
It’ll be interesting to see if their copyright is enforceable. What do you think?

I couldn’t see them claiming copyright as they are hardly the originator of the concept. Perhaps the first person to ever use a heart as love could sue them for derived artwork!
Sounds like a newspaper report without all of the story.
Think the best they could get is a very specific one for a tweaked font, specific heart shape and a layout. Change any and they can’t do squat imho.

Seems they mean business.
Very interesting article – starts page 15 in the August edition of Printwear & Promotion magazine.

lolol, no but if you do a search on google for "F**K Copyright" I’m not the only person with the same idea, although this is totally my design!

I found Google gives fantastic results on the first word alone with safe search off.
