Pittsburgh, California Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I'm reading Bevnet.com, a beverage website, and I see the feature product is a new energy drink called Halftime. As I looked at the logo, I couldn't help notice that I've seen the logo elsewhere before. It turns out, it looks alot like the logo of the New York/New Jersey Hitmen, one of the teams in the defunct XFL. See for yourself. Halftime to the left, Hitmen to the right.Say I'm Vince McMahon. I see the Halftime logo and notice the similarities. Would I have a case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopskid Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Well it is a font, it's just a letter really. The shading is different and they aren't exactly the same. I'm not sure tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyjet88 Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 That's a tough one. It looks like they reversed the shading and took out on of the strokes. I don't know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDX Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Certainly very similar, i'm sure vince will be investigating this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnderDogX Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Anyone think there's a possibility the company remembered this logo from the now defunct XFL, offered Vince some cash, and he said "ahh hell, might as well, nothing I can do with the logo now." ??

After all, the energy drink is using a font face based on those titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief. Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Yeah, that is the Batman Forever/Batman and Robin/TMNT font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
