inkuyo 8 Posted February 16, 2014 Looks great, but what a weeding nightmare. How many did you make? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tennessee 4 Posted February 16, 2014 Thanks Guys!!!! not sure what they paid but I will try and find out, Farmers have enough problems they didn't want JD coming after them,They had a friend do most of the design but we had to tweak/clean it a little and make a couple changes to their original used Inkskape We did like fifteen sweatshirts and a couple tank tops plus so far six of their vehicles with more to do in the future as they are getting things ready for this years farming season, And definitely a weeding nightmare!!! haha Thanks again 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cubamex 2 Posted February 21, 2014 what is the "JD likeness" ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted February 21, 2014 JD likeness = Jack Daniels label Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cubamex 2 Posted February 21, 2014 Say he used just the "ornaments" and not the same font's or the saying's would that still be "JD likeness". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted February 21, 2014 If you look at it and think it resembles a JD logo then you are bumping up against copyright and trademark laws that have the potential to land you in a lawsuit. There are people who copy stuff all the time and seem to get away with it but IMO it's not worth the risk. In a lot of ways it depends on the application. I have a "Hardly (not Harley) Davidson" logo that I built to poke fun at a home built bobber bike I built a few years back, I still wear it on my own clothes but I don't sell it 'cause I want to keep my house. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
