  1. I was browsing RedBubble the other day.

    That place is notorious for stolen work/copyright violations.

     

    Anyway, I see a friend's brewery logo being sold on shirts.

    I notify him.

     

    Turns out RedBubble has a copyright page.

    He followed their directions and the items were removed very quickly.

     

    Nice to see a company do this.

    To Kat Kissick, the image in her Google search was unmistakable: A digital illustration of a feminine head formed by flowers and framed by a caption on top that began, "Roses are red, knowledge is power," and continued below, "Stomp out the patriarchy you beautiful flower." 

    She immediately recognized it as a ripoff of her own work, an illustration she'd drawn in late 2018 that had gone viral on Facebook, where it had been shared 17,000 times and from which Kissick had sold T-shirts, prints and postcards. 

    The irony of discovering a copycat image drawn by a male artist, named Karl Frey, was also impossible to miss, and to Kissick, kind of hilarious. After all, "the patriarchy" is a term often used to describe the unearned benefits society ascribes to men due to generations of gender inequality — and here seemed a perfect example of that sort of patriarchal entitlement in action.

    I particularly liked this paragraph:

     

    Quote

    "I asked if there wasn’t a T-shirt of it already available and my wife’s boss said that there wasn’t," Frey wrote, though he also acknowledged that he hadn't asked where the design had come from. He added that he had "enjoyed the challenge" of redrawing the image, and noted that he had tried to change "at least twenty percent" of Kissick's illustration in order to create "an original work and not a simple derivative of your design." 

     

     

    Isn't that a straight out admission of theft?

    Can anyone identify the script used in the "AFC" monogram? It was also used on an Arsenal home shirt in the early 1990s. One site identified it as "Catfish", but I doubt it; I have a feeling that it might be hand-drawn.

    Looks like a modified "Flowy Script Freehand"

    I really should change it.

    I notice you didn't deny that they are cheaters, but now that the Rams are gone, I should probably let it go.

    Forgot about it really.

     

     

    EDIT:  Is that better?  Oh wait, does that hurt also? 😛

    Need some help identifying the Number font, NOB font and the "Old Dominion" Font on the front of the Jersey.

    Old Dominion has great information regarding their logos, but not the jersey font per se.

    But this is on the website:

    Quote

    Old Dominion University's athletic program has established a standard of excellence and a reputation that reaches far beyond the campus walls. The university's athletic "family" of logos symbolizes both the program's tradition and its future as a strong competitor in intercollegiate athletics. The logos are designed for use on merchandise, player uniforms, publications, television and the internet. The "banner" in four of the logos allows each sport to customize its logo, while maintaining a consistent identity. The logos are available in a variety of color separations. If you have any questions regarding the logos, or would like to obtain the digital files, please call the athletic publications office at 757-683-4207.

    Financial restitution in these situations is tough because civil court requires proof of both wrongdoing and resulting damages... especially dealing with a public school... a simple cease and desist is probably most realistic.

    Exactly.  Tough getting anything from a public school district as they have governmental immunity.

    Looks similar to Le Havre Titling. Has alternates that also match the H.

    Agree - Mesmerize family is a close alternative (without the modified H)
