Killian, not a good idea really... as this will infringe copyright of BMW roundel. As you have stated, the site was asked to remove the BMW-board logo before moving to new hosting with renaming. I can send you it, but, we can't use it..not much point really. ------------- |

It can be similar but not a direct copy. Only direct copies infringe copyright laws...not similarites to the original. Once done, the designer/owner can copyright the image independently...acceptance of that will also confirm that no copyright infringements were made. ------------- October 2-6 2008 - Houston, Texas - Long Distance Wedding March 15-April 1 2009 - Transatlantic Cruise October 10-25 2009 - China, Korea, Taiwan & Japan Cruise |

Utter Nonsense.
We're dealing with trademarks and nothing to do with copyright anyway.

I'd suggest staying away from propeller type things inside circles irrespective of colours. Rhys's should be OK, but as KB has had contact with BMW's lawyers, he should ask them for advice. They want to protect their clients' trademarks and should be prepared to tell him whether or not a design will infringe. ------------- 1981 E23 735i 1989 E30 325i Motorsport Cabrio 1989 E24 635CSi Motorsport Edition http://www.bavarianretro.com" rel="nofollow - Bavarian Retro Cars |

I agree, things can get a bit blurred - just have to remember that their pockets are far deeper than most (ie, they can afford more/better lawyers). Also best to stay away from hockey sticks and kidney grills as well. ------------- V reg Rustbucket Merc C220 Cdi estate J Reg Saab 900i 16v '63 Ford Anglia 105e deluxe R reg Honda PC50 moped..

Nice one Rossi. Version 8 looks the best to me. You could try putting the web address where the automotive need bit is. If you have nothing better to do that is. Thank God we're not paying for this. It'd cost a fortune. Also, how about a solid outline around the whole thing. Round the left side and squared off on the right side if you get me.
