He's been working years on his logos and He submited two different ones, which then the Capitals used in their versions of their logos. Here's my dad's article the he made, and I put up... [url]http://washingtonlogo.com/[/url] Please reply with your thoughts on this infringment!
wtf? [editline]02:47AM[/editline] i dont understand any of this, he submitted them?
Yes, He submitted two different logo presentations too them awhile back.
and then what? they copied his logo's without permission?
Too close to say whether there's willful infringement. :raise:
They altered it and are claiming it as their own, I guess. I don't know what you want me to say about it. Dick move?
was he gonna get any money for that logo originally?
The idea is the same, the designs of the eagles are different
aren't they supposed to pay him or something if they use it so I'm guessing he got nothing?
They didn't Exactly copy it, but they took parts off of it and made it VERY similar to his original design. Read the article!
I now have your Dad's phone number. Thanks. EDIT: 10 boxes? Wut?

They offered him season tickets awhile ago, he turned them down and persisted in taking them too court / suiing them.
[QUOTE=Joannou1;19363309]They offered him season tickets awhile ago, he turned them down and persisted in taking them too court / suiing them.[/QUOTE] he should take the season tickets [editline]02:53AM[/editline] and give them to me
Your dad's logo sucked, sorry dude.
well, now the amounts of money they have made from their/his logo is reaching into the hundreds of millions... He wants at [b][i]LEAST[/i][/b] a couple million... Also because of the fact that this has hurt us financially..
Go punch your dad in the face for making his whole website a giant JPEG.
The blue one was pretty cool, but the red one sucked. Your dad should try to get [u]life time[/u] season tickets.
[QUOTE=Takkun10;19363638]The blue one was pretty cool, but the red one sucked. Your dad should try to get [u]life time[/u] season tickets.[/QUOTE] Better yet, Lifetime season tickets for box seats with 1 million for compensation or whatever!
these logos look like shit
Well that was a shit move. But I doubt he'll be able to get anything from them, since they changed it. They can allways claimn that they had forgotten all about his version.
how has it financially hurt you?
[QUOTE=K00n!;19364090]how has it financially hurt you?[/QUOTE] Well THAT didnt hurt us, it just really pulled us back, we needed to go forward on getting these logos used etc..
I think the bigger issue here is that someone thinks it's ok to make an entire website and text into a single JPG file. At the very, very, very least.. use godamn PNG.
[QUOTE=radioactive;19363308]Facepunch aren't: Doctors Lawyers Bankers Politcal Workers Social Workers A Personal Army.[/QUOTE] Some people are, surprisingly.
The caps aren't even that good, is it really worth it? [editline]02:27AM[/editline] btw website looks like shit in my extremely common resolution of 1280x1024
He should make your avatar, considering it sucks atm.
[QUOTE=Orsenfelt;19364466]I think the bigger issue here is that someone thinks it's ok to make an entire website and text into a single JPG file.

hundreds of millions of dollars from a logo? yeah... no
