This logo, do you think it may be a trade mark issue.
Posted by Ian Pople on November 4, 2010 at 7:53 pmHi all,
Have a customer who wanted this sort of logo designed but do you think it will be a problem with a similar logo all ready in the field. I have drawn it from scratch took a few Min’s.
Any one please tell me how similar a logo can be to be classed as infringement. I do not want to get into trouble.
Thank you all.
Ian

ill be honest mate, at a glance i thought male toilets. 😕
i think it depends on what logo you are referring too also… well that maybe wrong way to put it. any copyright logo is a copyright… but do you have a picture of the similar one for us to compare?

Sorry Ian but I thought the same as Robert when I first saw it, can’t think why anyone would want a logo that looked more like a Health & Safety sign.
I’m no expert when it comes to copyright either but I would have thought there would be issues with it as it is basically the same, why does he want something that someone else is already using? Do they have a good name and he’s trying to cash in because that’s the only reason I can see for it.

Ian I’m sure you can do him something better than that, in no time at all

Yep, but that’s the idea he had and it only took a few Min’s to draw.
Well back to the drawing board and I could all ways use it on the little boys room.
Thanks every one

Yup I would come up with something that would blow his socks off.
Funny enough we have all been discussing a similar business logo on another forum I go to, this one looked like it had a lawnmower in it though.
The second logo you posted is nasty enough to make me wonder why anyone would want to emulate it.
Nothing against you, it’s not your fault.

Ian you could always sell it to big companies as an executive washroom sign. :lol1:
