Studio Simon Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 That's mine, done for the Golden Baseball League's Mesa Miners. Though the Miners are no longer in the league, the GBL still owns all rights to that artwork. Yet another case of sports branding intellectual property theft.

Studio Simon Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 This is happening with ever-increasing frequency -- in the past couple of weeks alone, I have been alerted to four such instances of an identities developed by Studio Simon having been "co-opted" in this manner. This is not just about Studio Simon -- this is an industry-wide epidemic, and it has gotten out of control. I have been in contact with an attorney to determine what else can be done in addition to contacting my clients and urging them to pursue the offending parties.

Burmy Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Personally, I think if the logo's not being used and no more merchandise is being made by the original owner using that logo, they should just leave it alone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burmy Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Besides, they're not similar enough where a lawsuit can happen:Mesa Miners logo: Arkansas Diamonds logo: Maybe the same company made both logos? I have no idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hecticbro Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Personally, I think if the logo's not being used and no more merchandise is being made by the original owner using that logo, they should just leave it alone...Do you get paid to design logos? If you do and still feel this way, I'm surprised. After all, if everyone who was in the market for a designer just went around stealing old designs instead, it would dramatically decrease your opportunities to be hired.

rvrdgsfn Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 it looks like they just chopped off the head, replaced the body with whatever that is, this logo is just, poorly done. Then again, the name change was last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea...You should stop while you're catastrophically behind. The original designer posted in this frickin' thread.-----------------------------------------It doesn't surprise me that this organization would opt for logo recycling. They've been known for opting for the "cheap option" in the past. Such as in joining the IFL.

Yet another case of sports branding intellectual property theft.Yes, they are similar enough where a lawsuit could happen, because THEY STOLE THE ARTWORK, PLOPPED IT INTO a TYPE LOCKUP AND ARE PASSING IT OFF AS THEIR OWN WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN A PROFIT FROM IT!

Burmy Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Part of me says, "If he wants the rights to that logo, he should ask the GBL to reactivate the Mesa Miners then!" Another part's saying "Just shut up".Both have worked out a compromise. Now I say: "They did what they could for this season, but they BETTER get a redesign for next season!"(then again, I'm frequently surrounded by semi-pro football, so ripoffs occur on a daily basis there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scootrdice Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 For some reason to me. The word work for the Diamonds reminds me of the Az Diamondbacks purple days. And yes, they are stealing from the miners..... Im not into the biz and I even know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone stole his work, and we're talking hours if not weeks or months of work, and you sit there and say, "Just shut up"? *shakes head* Oh and he doesn't have to ask the league to reactivate the logo, it's his unless he sold it to them outright, so unless he sold all artwork to them outright, then he OWNS the logo, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
