altosax29b Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 What a rip-off! They should be held responsible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Is there any possibility that Davidson actually did this logo for them? Is it possible that someone contacted him (possibly through the boards) and asked him to modify his own logo for them? I know it's doubtful, since (I don't think) he does a lot of sports identities (at least professionally) but just wanted to throw it out there.

Other than the basic shape of the head and the other parts that weren't changed at all, the rest of it doesn't look like Davidson's work, especially the wordmark and the swords behind the shield. There are also highlights in the helmet and some other things that look a little sloppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Funny. I saw a link to this logo on Uniwatch this morning, just as a 'Hey, heads up! There's a team with a new logo in this league!' and I immediately thought, 'Wow, that looks like Fraser Davidson's style a little bit," having not seen the Conquistadors logo previously, of course. I still don't have a website, but I have a dribbble now! http://dribbble.com/andyharry [The postings on this site are my own and do not necessarily represent the position, strategy or opinions of adidas and/or its brands.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Fraser did both the Americans and Rebels.As far as the Sioux Falls logo, I think everyone should hold off until Davidson says something about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TornadoGTS Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Well the the way the logo was made, plus the way it was presented, sure looks like a Davidson piece.EDIT: nvm, joshmings confirmed it Facebook: CustomSportsCovers Twitter: CSCovers Quote No because when the Irish came to Ireland and first came in contact with the leprechaun people, they didn't take their land away and force them to move west. Instead, the two groups learned to assimilate peacefully. However, certain tribes of the leprechaun refused to taint the pure blood and moved north into the forests of Ireland, only to be seen rarely, usually at the same time of a rainbows appearance and occasionally at the factories of Lucky Charms.

I'm all for waiting but just pointing that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidson Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 wow, nothing gets past you guys. thanks very much for the support and (mac) the email to the club.just to clarify:-im aware of the situation.-the guy who made the logo a while back sent me it a while back mentioning the team. as im not au fait with minor league hockey, i didnt really pay much attention as i assumed it was a piece of concept art or work for a fantasy team.-he later wrote to me saying that the team was going to use it. only then did i realise this was to be the commercial use of the logo.-the guy who made the logo clearly didnt know what he was doing was wrong, and hes clearly very excited about the use of 'our' logo.-i have contacted the team as this is a clear violation of copyright.-ill keep you posted.thanks again for the heads up and the support.fd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davidson Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 All taken care of now. The team and designer concerned were extremely helpful in rectifying the problem. As I mentioned, this wasn't a malicious act of any sort, just a slight misunderstanding regarding the purpose of the design.Again thanks to the board folks for flagging this and bringing it to the attention of all parties.The result is that the Musketeers will be using the logo above from next season.CheersFraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kind of confused as to what this meant too. I'm assuming that they will use the new logo going forward and that some arrangement was agreed upon.
